From my experience, its gorgeous scenery BUT the transportation is antiquated, resulting in higher travel expenses because I had to Uber everywhere.... Rent a car or have alternative transportation set up if you do decide to visit SLO. Theres only two buses out there that run once an hour. And one bus on the weekends.RobertoUnited States - 10Scored 10
Absolutely beautiful area.
Absolutely beautiful area. Very charming downtown with a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Beaches a short drive away. Highly recommend SLO Provisions for breakfast. El Esquina for a delicious meal. Farmers Market on Thursday nights give a wonderful sense of local products, foods and services. Very easy to walk around downtown. Morro Bay is an easy 20 min away. A beautiful drive. Morro Bay is a charming beach filled with local surfers, people walking their dogs or just hanging out to soak in the waves and surrounding beauty.

Close to downtown, shopping and restaurants to include the famous Madonna Inn. We were there to visit our student at CalPoly. Great amenities for our family. Always nice to have extra space in our room with the living room/dining area.TracyUnited States - 10Scored 10
Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes.
Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes. Easy to get around. I loved how unique all the different buildings and houses were. Food was only decent, but not terrible. Good breweries, too! Very walkable. The highlight was going to the hot spring resort for their hour-use tubs.D NakamuraUnited States - 10Scored 10
Beautiful place to visit.
Beautiful place to visit. University town with a lovely walkable downtown. Lots of restaurants. Many people biking. Close to Pismo and Avila Beach, Morro Bay (and Rock) and the gorgeous central coast.Always love coming to SLO but it can be very pricey. This was a quick family visit so didn’t eat out much. Always find time for a latte at Scout coffee. If you are on a budget, check out hotel prices in advance prior to choosing dates. Inexpensive places jump to over $200 per night during certain weekends.

- From € 115.03 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 1,741 reviewsI like the location right off the freeway and a walk away from the Madonna Inn steak house. Another thing I like is that it was very quite which is a plus if you had a long day. Dennys is right in the same parking lot and get a 10% discount if you decide to eat there. You also get a 10% discount from Round Table pizza. The uber rides are under $10 if you go to downtown San luis obispo which I took advantage. Hearst castle is only 50 min away Pismo beach is 15 min away & Morro bay is 20 min. Like I said location location location.CesarUnited States
- 8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 253 reviewsFor what looks like a standard motel, this place has little touches that punch above its weight. Friendly staff, good breakfast including good coffee, cute outdoor seating areas (chairs on balcony outside breakfast room, Adirondack under a tree, might even be some by the creek), local newspapers. We were able to walk Downtown (maybe 15-20 minutes), though there are also some nice restaurants just down the block.
AndrewUnited States - 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 911 reviewsThis hotel ticked a lot of boxes and we enjoyed our stay here. It was a great place to stay and I would stay here again if I was in the area. The check in staff were very friendly and helpful and check in was simple and uncomplicated. Good facilities, such as laundry room on each floor, a gym and water fountain located on the second floor and breakfast room and small roof top pool.
JuliaUnited Kingdom - 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 911 reviewsThe hotel is very nice and is in a great location if you are visiting Cal Poly. The breakfast was good and the staff was very friendly. The only problem was that we were right next to a common area bathroom on the fourth floor near the pool. At about 11 AM our room started to smell like a sewer. It was so bad we could not even go into the main bedroom.BBrianUnited States

It is located a few miles away from downtown San Luis Obispo, the area's wine country, and nearby cities like Pismo Beach and Avila Beach.
