    Absolutely beautiful area.

    Absolutely beautiful area. Very charming downtown with a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Beaches a short drive away. Highly recommend SLO Provisions for breakfast. El Esquina for a delicious meal. Farmers Market on Thursday nights give a wonderful sense of local products, foods and services. Very easy to walk around downtown. Morro Bay is an easy 20 min away. A beautiful drive. Morro Bay is a charming beach filled with local surfers, people walking their dogs or just hanging out to soak in the waves and surrounding beauty.

    Close to downtown, shopping and restaurants to include the famous Madonna Inn. We were there to visit our student at CalPoly. Great amenities for our family. Always nice to have extra space in our room with the living room/dining area.

    Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes. Easy to get around. I loved how unique all the different buildings and houses were. Food was only decent, but not terrible. Good breweries, too! Very walkable. The highlight was going to the hot spring resort for their hour-use tubs.

    Beautiful place to visit.

    Beautiful place to visit. University town with a lovely walkable downtown. Lots of restaurants. Many people biking. Close to Pismo and Avila Beach, Morro Bay (and Rock) and the gorgeous central coast.Always love coming to SLO but it can be very pricey. This was a quick family visit so didn’t eat out much. Always find time for a latte at Scout coffee. If you are on a budget, check out hotel prices in advance prior to choosing dates. Inexpensive places jump to over $200 per night during certain weekends.

    We went for an early morning run up the convenient bike path into SLO. We had a great tour of the city on foot and visited the El Camino Real sites and the Mission. We ran back through the hills and had a great view of the surrounding areas. Worth returning to visit. High up on the historic trail.

    Great downtown with lots of restaurants and shops. Safe and easy to get around on foot or with car. Parking is expensive ($3-4/hr) but easily available. Airport is a breeze to get in and out. Museums, etc are mostly on a thur-sunday schedule.

    We were on our way from San Francisco to Los Angeles and so we picked to stay at San Luis Obispo since it was midway through the journey. Sunbeam was the best-rated, value hotel that I could find. We liked that we were given a ground-floor room and we could park our car directly in front of it which made baggage handling way easier. The owner was very helpful in giving us recommendations, especially for dinner. We got to eat at the Hawaiian barbeque joint that he recommended.

    I loved how clean this place was. Our room was spotless and all of our toiletries and towels were super clean. Plus excellent location right off the freeway. A quick drive away from Pismo Beach and in walking distance of downtown San Luis Obispo. We had excellent food on this trip, even got pizza delivered to our room one night. We loved being able to walk around downtown SLO and come back to a room that wasn't right in the center of the foot traffic.

    Our family travelled in USA for 3 weeks and stayed in about 10 hotels. Quality Suites Downtown SLO is the best. The decoration style in the hall is unique and beautiful. Very friendly and helpful staff (front desk, bar, kitchen etc.). The room is comfortable and spacious. The happy hour (free drinks) and the BBQ every night is very impressive. The breakfast is high-quality and well-prepared.

    I often visit San Luis Obispo for my sibling, This is my fifth time staying here. Staff is always kind and feel welcome, very clean. Another thing I like about Motel 6 is pet friendly and stay free. This location has multiple grass area in property, close to the large dog park and hiking trails. Highly recommended and I'll be back soon!

    Cute waterfall hot tub and relaxing pool. Nice picnic area near the pool. Room felt large. You can tell the place was recently remodeled. Close to where we wanted to go. OK for the price. Staff was nice. It's mainly a no smoking hotel so the hallways and room smelled clean. Great for families.

    Among hotels in this range, this one is pretty good. 60's or 70s construction, 2 story, exterior corridor, rooms renovated pretty recently, nothing fancy. Pretty clean, tile floors in the room (better than rugs IMHO).
