We reserved 2 rooms. When I made the reservation it did not mention that children over 12 were considered “extra guests” and each guest had to pay an additional $13.62. So for our 3 kids we had to pay an additional $40 and also a $100 cleaning charge per room. So we paid an additional $240 at check in. The desk attendant admitted that these charges are not listed on Travelocity, which I found disingenuous. If we’d known about the additional charges we probably would not have booked at this hotel.

Clean and inexpensive for SLO. Some street and train noise, thin-ish walls, but mostly quiet except for my husband’s snoring lol.

My friend and I stayed here for one night and really enjoyed our stay. All we needed was a safe, clean, and convenient space to stay and Avenue Inn Downtown was just that. The staff were very helpful and communicative, too. We would definitely stay there again!

Great for the price. Check in process took too long: one employee checked in guests, while other other sat behind the window, apparently supervising.
