Top San Luis Obispo Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 San Luis Obispo, CA - South

Motel 6 San Luis Obispo, CA - South

10/10 Excellent

"Motel 6 always gets a bad rap but this was an excellent place. The motel was in a good location, pretty quiet and felt safe. My motel room was comfortable and very clean (the floors passed my dirty feet test!) and felt modern, and the bed was cozy. I was given a nice room in the back (trees behind me) which probably made my stay better and quieter. Front desk people were very nice. I would stay again."

University Inn

"The managers, a husband-wife team, were excellent--very helpful. The building itself, however, needs some renovation. Staff was excellent. Also, excellent coffee provided by the managers, however the continental breakfast could be improved by offering bakery-quality pastries."

Courtyard by Marriott San Luis Obispo

Courtyard by Marriott San Luis Obispo

10/10 Excellent

"Me and the Mrs. had a great time in SLO and The Courtyard was a big part of it! The property is well maintained, clean, and has a great staff that were helpful and nice. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Our stay was in mid October and rain was on the way but we had the pool/hot tub to ourselves!!!.... Also the property is a block or two away from 101 and made it convenient to go to our day trips and dinner at night. The two things that irked me a little was the $15 a night for parking and when we checked in they said coffee and breakfast was available from Starbucks in the morning. We found out you DO have to pay for that... That said, I will definitely go back to The Courtyard when I'm staying in the area."
