Lovely breakfast - fresh juice, good coffee, individually prepared daily egg special - pleasant and helpful staff.
We had a delightful stay at @ Garden Street Inn! Great location, staff was very friendly and helpful, room was comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and the inn was very charming. We definitely recommend it!
Their breakfasts were honestly the highlight of my stay in SLO. It represented the area very well, being wholesome and worldly. Fantastic job!

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. The location was good.
There is no parking available so I had to pay to park in a public garage ($16.00 for overnight) or find street parking in the residential area a few blocks away.

Room was clean and nice. Very pretty place with nice staff who made a lovely breakfast.
Would definitely return
staff is wonderful, friendly- love this inn and the location. Breakfast is great! No coffee maker in room and tv tiny but knew that as stayed before and will stay again! Favorite in SLO!
Staff was basically non existent. Reception was closed and staff were on break or something, which made check in challenging. Same with check out. Staff was cooking and no one was available to check out. Property was nice and clean.
This inn was so perfect for what I needed! I needed a lovely/ comfortable/ cozy inn for a couple of nights in a good, safe and walkable location. It was wonderful! Staff was so welcoming and accommodating, the room was cozy and clean, and the claw foot bathtub was divine! If I am in SLO again, I will 100% stay here!
Such a cute and welcoming place in downtown SLO. Breakfast is fantastic, service was helpful and each room seems to have its unique charm. Favorite place to stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location was convenient and the house was beautiful. The breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again.
