I was overcharged with the was advertised. Now it’s going to be a complete battle trying to get my money back. I was charged over $130 a night when it said it was $67 a night mad as hell.

The room was average. There was Construction in the works. Our bathroom ceiling has been patched up & the floor hadn't been mopped for awhile, a white hand towel turned black after wiping up spilt water. Our refrig hummed us to sleep. Location was great & the over all service was very good.

Liked: Cleanliness
This is definitely no frills but the room was clean & the bed was comfortable. Very convenient to the highway & to Cal Poly. Not much in the immediate blocks surrounding the property so pretty quiet though there was definitely noise from other guests coming and going (not much soundproofing). A good option if you need a place to stay for a night or two & don’t want to break the bank.

Good location, a one mile walk to the university. The room was clean and was partially remodeled. They didn't bother to add any insulation to the walls or floor/ceiling. You can hear every noise from the rooms nextdoor or from the parking lot. The pillows were thin. The showerhead made a high-pitched sound. The breakfast was just packaged breakfast sandwiches and danishes. The parking was tight. We won't stay at this hotel again.

We enjoy staying at this site. Unfortunately, this time around our room door took many tries to open (needs to be fixed).

Great value. The parking lot was under construction so it took away from the overall appearance but that's temporary. Staff was awesome.

Clean and simple. Recently remodeled. Everything you need for a quick trip to see your Cal Poly Student for a weekend. Parking is tight, but adequate. Pool being redone. Maid service didnt happen.

Nice place to stay for the night. Continental breakfast was less than we expected but for the price of the room we can’t complain. Desk manager was very courteous and helpful.
