Good property but loud at night due to road noise
Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025

4/10

Room reeked of cigarette smoke and harsh, industrial cleaner that made me wheeze. Was incredibly loud right next to major thoroughfare. Could hear every step of neighbors above, and guest snoring on other side of wall. Air conditioner smelled musty, blew straight in my face in bed, and rattled too loudly to sleep with. This will not be my last visit to SLO, but will be my last stay at the Sunbeam.

The hotel is economical. The room was small and recently remodeled. It was very tidy. The bathroom sink was nice with a large counter for putting your things. It served the purpose of a nice place to stay the night on a quick visit to SLO.
