Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.
