La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Luis Obispo Downtown

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Luis Obispo Downtown

8/10 Good
"We checked in online before arrival which made key pickup at the lobby quick and easy. Property was clean and well-maintained. Executive Room was big, clean, adequately appointed. Only issue was water would leak out of the shower. Lucked out with weather and was able to sit out at the pool. Rooftop was small, but clean and since it was a weekday, we didn't have to fight for space on the loungers. All in all, this property exceeded my expectations for a La Quinta. Would recommend if you aren't looking for frills."
