The front desk person was friendly and welcoming. The hotel is so clean, it is dated but everything is so well maintained. Our 2 queen bed room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Hot coffee in the morning and muffins from a bakery in SLO. We will stay there again !

Check-in staff was very courteous and pleasant. The room was spacious with microwave and larger than average mini-frig. Having the shower separate from the single sink was very useful. Cleanliness was superb and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Would stay here again.
