This is a cute little property. It's conveniently Located off of highway 101 in San Luis Obispo. We kind of booked here by default because it was one of the few hotels that still had rooms available over a busy weekend. There are a number of buildings on this long narrow property that slopes steeply downward towards the back. Each of the buildings have a different theme.

Our room was clean and nicely appointed. The bed wasn't the best but it was okay. I don't think I'd want to sleep on it more than a couple of nights. Fair warning, parking on this site can be challenging and if your vehicle is not a compact you may find the parking difficult to negotiate. Our room was all the way in the back of the property and there are not enough parking spaces for every room. It took a fair amount of effort to turn our midsize sedan around when we found all the parking spaces taken. The next night we took the first available space and walked to our room in the back. The walk in is all downhill, of course that means that the walk to the car the next morning was all uphill. Okay if you're young but it was hard on my old knees.

They offer a breakfast in a very small room. I'm pretty sure a dozen people would more than full it up. We opted to walk down a few doors to the Apple Farm. The food there is always reliable and you can't beat the beautiful setting. All in all a nice little place, pretty reasonably priced for its location.
