What guests think

Several reviewers highlight easy check in and good value for short, last-minute or overnight stays.

Way overpriced! One washcloth, one hand towel for two people. Low, low water pressure in the shower. Lean forward on the stool and your head bumps the wall. Not even a “Continental” breakfast. No ice. Difficult to see in the closet area due to insufficient lighting.

Wow what a great stay! Our room was immaculately clean and smelled so fresh as soon as we walked in. We had a handicap room with two queen beds and there was plenty of room for us to manuver around. There was a very clean raised tub with a shower with a handicap rail. The vanity was a nice touch the refrigerator and microwave came in very handy for storing leftovers (CJ's Cafe is the best ever for breakfast) and reheating our meals. The Cable TV and free Wifi were excellent! I cannot praise enough the owner and staff on their professional and personal treatment it was most definitely the best I have ever had. I have stayed in all types of establishments some great, some good and some bad with pricing ranging all over the map. I have to say without hesitation that the Arroyo Village Inn is in the Great category due to its pricing, cleanliness and customer treatment. I will stay here every-time I am back in this area.

It was a very quick overnight stay. The room was run down - light next to the bed did not work and was falling apart. Toilet seat very worn down. Room 109 was next to the freeway so very noisy. Parking not enforced and had a very difficult time getting out of the parking lot at 4:30 am.

Affordable and clean. The two biggest things you need when traveling and staying at a motel. Manager was attentive and was up early helping to clean the room next door. This shows dedication! You just don’t see much like that anymore. Yes, an older building, but in great condition. Only drawback is parking area. It’s designed like those classic Motor Lodges of days gone by. Hard to maneuver s modern car thru.

This is a VERY basic accommodation. The positives: the room was clean and the inn is in walking distance of Arroyo Grande Village. The staff was polite. The negatives: it definitely needs a makeover. There was a small sink outside the bathroom with no room for toiletries, with thin towels, and a bathroom shower stall that has seen better days. There are no hooks or surfaces to hang wet towels, toiletries, etc. Not a room I would care to spend time in. The AC/heater is very noisy and the walls are thin. We could hear the guest next door coughing all night.

This is a wonderfully managed small hotel with a lot of character and a pleasing, quaint, picturesque atmosphere. It's older but well-maintained. Although older, it's very appealing and has a nice cottage-like quality, especially considering all the units are enclosed in a courtyard-style arrangement. The staff are exceptionally pleasant and check-in process is very quick. Although this is an inexpensive motel, the management is very strict on not allowing problematic elements to stay there. Not only is it completely safe, there aren't even any obnoxious or undesirable people on the premises. Ni drunks, loud sounds ,late-night engine revving, shouting, etc. Great for children and families. The rooms are completely quiet and insulated,you cannot hear anything from neighboring rooms. It's right off the highway and easy to access. It's in a commercial area with the usual gas stations, warehouses, convenience stores but it's completely safe to walk around. The very attractive downtown area is less than three minutes walk, with excellent restaurants and coffeehouses.You can drive there in less than thirty seconds. I'm sure I've stayed here over 10 times in the last several years, never a problem and always comfortable and quiet.

Room was clean, however the rooms are really outdated. Beds definitely need to be replaced could feel the wires from how old the matress are. Room really needs updates done. Our room had a hole in the wall and seems like there was a huge square cut out the wall that just never got repaired correclty. Stay was great no noise so we were able to get good sleep. Make sure you bring your own soap and shampoo. There was none in the room, completely forgot to pack some. They will provide bar soap if you ask for it. They give 2 pillows per bed, i asked about getting extras and they said they had none so if you are like my husband and need more than 1 bring your own. They do provide blankets which was nice compared to expensive hotels I've stayed at were they only supply bed sheet.

Friendly staff, my only complaint was again after a several night stay-no service! I wouldn’t expect bedding changed but at least the towels and dump the trash. I’m puzzled why no service. Room was clean and comfortable and area quiet until one of the guest had to talk load at 2:30 in the morning. A great place to stay if you want to walk up to the village and no worry about driving.
