The parking situation was good and its a place to sleep. Unfortunately SLO is quite expensive to stay in so for the price anywhere else you'd be laughed at for paying. The room was very rough and run down, but the bed was clean and comfortable. The "breakfast" consisted of premade pastries and over brewed coffee. It wasn't bad, it's just way less than expected, like I have stayed in nicer motel 6s.

Great downtown location for walking to restaurants and shops. Bed was comfortable and clean. Unfortunately, carpets old and stained. In-room refrigerator was smelly, probably because it didn't work. Overall, room condition was just old and tired.

Everything was amazing until the night. We turned on the light and unfortunately found roaches in the bathroom. The people and room was great if they didn't have the roaches i would give it 8 out of 10. But i would say 2 out of 10. I give 2 cause roaches migrate and can hitch long your belongs. I can handle no hot water, tv issues, or noise issues but there was none these issues. Unfortunately this is one place i won't stay again, so sorry.
