Top San Luis Obispo Hotel Reviews

Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed with my 40lbs dog. The room was spacious, clean and quiet. The shower had good pressure. The staff was really nice and they did a free welcome drink on the first night and have nightly bbq by the pool for guests who want to buy a reasonably priced dinner. The pool is clean and gardens/surroundings well maintained. You can walk downtown in about 10/15 min depending on your pace and there are many restaurants and bars to enjoy. You get a breakfast coupon to get hot breakfast and eat inside or by the pool. Parking is around the property so you car park close to your room. I was on ground floor by the pool so it was only a few steps to bring my things in. I would recommend whether you are a solo traveler, traveling with a pet or a family."
