"I loved the landscape, the cottage cozy feel! Great place, very nostalgic to SLO!"

Sands Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"The proprietors were friendly, responsive and professional. The property was stylish but also in need of some improvement, as our first room had slow-draining sinks in the suite. The second room was better, both units need fans in the bathroom & new doors. The breakfast needs a little upgrade beyond the current menu, maybe switch the primary proteins (eggs & sausage were adequate at best). The property was convenient for downtown access and generally quiet, though some rooms a close to street noise. Overall, the Sands is budget-friendly and offers clean, reliable lodging + responsive staff."

Motel 6 San Luis Obispo, CA - South

La Cuesta Inn, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the location was perfect. I would definitely stay again, the only suggestion would be to vary breakfast items, rather than have the same thing every day. Also, the breakfast sausage was awful."
