This is a great little hotel for SLO. Despite proximity to the highway and major road, we were not bugged by traffic noise. We were in the original building so I will warn any super neat freaks that the hotel is a well maintained property, but not new. I have zero complaints about the cleanliness... just if you like a brand new, sterile corporate feel go to a Hilton or something. This was the best value I found for comfort/ location/ amenities/ vibe to keeping the cost as reasonable as possible... FYI, SLO gas prices and hotel prices are pretty much always on the higher side. I would recommend it those checking out CalPoly and who want to see what the off campus neighborhoods are like or just be close to the school. Since it is close to CalPoly campus, there were some students cutting through the property on a Friday and Saturday night as they walked to parties and such. I am from SLO so the neighborhood feels plenty safe to me -- it is mostly student housing and hotels right there, so that's the vibe. The rooms are a nice size with kitchenette and the continental breakfast featured pastries from a local source. The staff was super nice and I like the policy of maid service being provided if you schedule it - since we don't need it for a 2 night stay when we are just using the room as a place to sleep during a family get together. We will definitely try to use it next time.
