La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Luis Obispo Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean,nice stuff. Breakfast can be better."

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."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Luis Obispo

8/10 Good

"Charging for parking in a mall parking lot that's not even secure to the facility is a bit of a rip-off. Also the shower was a bit wonky and only flowed with a trickle. The tub was very slow draining. The staff was amazing polite on the spot and very helpful."

Hotel San Luis Obispo

SpringHill Suites by Marriott San Luis Obispo

10/10 Excellent
