San Luis Creek Lodge Review

Quite expensive but doesn't really deliver on the promise of luxury.

Nice little hotel. It has the feel of a bed and breakfast. The bed and pillows we of good quality and soft. Room walls were thick so noise issues. Free breakfast was good quality.

Wonderful place to stay on your Big Sur trip! Beautiful Nordic design, cozy fireplace, Aesop products. Would highly recommend it! San Luis Obispo is beyond cute. Go to Morro bay and walk to Montana del Oro Bluff trail if you have time

Absolutly Beautiful! Cozy and so comfortable, with Excellent Customer service! Definitely going to visit again. We loved it.

Tasteful, spacious, clean rooms with great character and a convenient location. Definitely recommend!

Lovely B&B, great food, staff very friendly, walking distance to town, will return

I stayed with my little Dog Calvin and my Wife loved the room. King size bed in the Plantation Building was elegant, very comfortable and walking distance to downtown. Free Hot breakfast from 7am-9:30 was delicious. Next time I'm in SLO County, I know where I'll be staying.

Lovely. Very nice craftsman style room with a fireplace. Very attentive service. Tasty breakfast. 15 minute walk downhill to downtown.

The property is being renovated so the construction workers were our wake-up call. We did not know the property is being refurbished. Daytime parking is non-existent due to workers parking their trucks and using spaces outside our room for an outdoor workspaces...saws, etc. This property is not handicap friendly. There are stairs to the majority of units, maybe two are flat into the door.

There is one small folding chair at the desk in the room. There is ample room for an occasional chair. Sitting on the bed was not pleasant.

Breakfast was disappointing, eggs were cold both days and overcooked.... coffee was cold. The in room heater failed to work the first night but the fireplace took the chill off.

Stayed here years ago when it first opened for business and had a great memory from that visit. My partner recently had surgery and we came here for a quiet retreat. NOT!

Love this little town. If I was to move, it would be on my list

Comfortable quiet rooms, with a bed and breakfast feel. Nice furnishings and decorations make the rooms a comfortable place to spend some time.

I have rarely seen such a great hotel with such a price performance. Small but delicious breakfast. The rooms were a true dream. The bed was like being in heaven. The bathroom was beautiful and the shower was great. I slept in hotels three times as expensive but not even half as good. The staff was super friendly. At the reception there is popcorn for the microwave in the room. There is even a fireplace in the room

Construction, construction parking, cold scrambled eggs, cold coffee one day. We'll stay somewhere else next time.

The first thing I noticed upon arrival was the quaint English theme of the location. The room itself was rather small, but the king-sized bed and large showers made up for the rather smallish accommodations. The hotel is easy to find off the freeway and within a few blocks of downtown San Luis Obispo. The staff were pleasant, cordial, and willing to assist an out-of-towner with suggestions for food and entertainment.

This is my go-to hotel in San Luis Obispo, and the breakfast is amazing! Couple that with clean spacious rooms, and walking distance from downtown, this place is wonderful if you don't care about a pool/bath tub/hot tub!

Very comfortable rooms with friendly and helpful staff

obsessed with everything about this place. I will be staying here whenever i'm in town. design, comfy bed, great shower, coffee/scones delivered 730am. Thank you for a lovely evening away!

Rooms were great, comfortable. Desk was helpful and nice. Overall nice travellers hotel. Will definitely be the place we stay again in SLO

Stayed there on our first visit to the area. Loved the beautifully decorated rooms, helpful staff, great breakfast selections, and just overall personal feel. Will definitely stay there again.

Nice room with a huge flat screen tv, convenient parking, very nice breakfast.

Great place to stay. The hotel resprenstative is very nice and helpful. The rooms are very clean and kept up. I highly recommend this place, but is little tight but manageable. Only thing I wish they have breakfast earlier...about 6am or 630am. Oh well that's small potatoes. My room is 408 and really roomy and King size bed. Love it.

What a terrific find. For me, staying in room 626 was the bomb. Quiet and the bed pillowss were the best I have ever slept on. The breakfast was fresh and tasty to make ready for the road journey. I highly recommend!!!

Randomly dropped in for a last minute room and was pleasantly surprised at the place. I'd stay again.

A very pleasant stay!
Caring staff!
Beautiful suites a magical place and must!

Cute B&B with clean cottages and a delicious home made breakfast.

Clean, quaint boutique hotel. Room was very clean and had modern decor. Bed and linens were comfortable. Friendly staff. The only thing missing was their usual complimentary breakfast (COVID-19). They did still offer coffee and scones.

Parking was a little hairy but the views and rooms were great!

Secluded off of Monterey Street, with the wooded creek directly behind the Tudor property. I certainly recommend this charming inn to those seeking to stay in SLO s north Monterey hotel area.

Really a nice place to stay, quiet and priced to keep out until desirable people!!

We loved our room, very cozy, quite and clean. Our room was in the very last building on the property. We had a view of trees and could hear the creek below. Very peaceful. Very nice staff and a full cooked breakfast in the mornings. We will be back.

I liked how peaceful and quiet the place was, and how close it was to Down town Slo.

Great rooms with free WiFi and complimentary breakfast!

This place is AMAZING, clean clean clean and June was beyond delightful. I can't wait to come back. Thank you June and San Luis Creek Lodge

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.

Overall good experience. Quiet location centrally located. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Wonderful rooms in English Inn setting. Warm and friendly staff and good breakfast. Best value in SLO

Beautiful lodge! Clean comfy beds. ADA accomodations. Bathroom was the cleanest!! Great Staff! Good breakfast and such a pleasant dining room. Great selection of DVD movies to borrow. You feel as though you are in a real mountain lodge. The faux fireplace heater with flames is such a cozy touch! Highly recommended!! You won't be disappointed!

What a GREAT place! We booked this place on a whim after the place we were staying in Big Sur was a dump. I'm so glad they had availability. We stayed in the Chestnut room and it was perfect. Nice, spacious room with a big, comfortable bed. Big bathroom with two sinks. Everything is updated and very clean. The breakfast was also wonderful. It's located in the heart of 'motel row' as we called it, but it is definitely a gem mixed in. Be prepared to walk 15-20 minutes to town, but we were more than ok with that. I would highly recommend staying here!

Very friendly service and cozy place to stay! Highly recommend!

The room was big and clean. The staff was very polite. Breakfast was good. No real complaints. Would stay again.

We loved it and the bed was super comfortable! Will definitely return!

One of our favorite places. Great staff, very quiet, wonderful location.

Very comfortable, very quiet, perfect breakfast, and unique, tasteful rooms. The only aspect of our stay that I did not care for is the fact that the lodge has no staff on site after 9 pm. However, they are up front with this information and do have someone on call for emergencies. We will happily return.

This place was very very high quality. They have four buildings on a very thin lot. Well done with the design of the property folks. I was in the Plantation building, which I liked because the room faced on to a ravine. Every aspect was high quality. I don't have the budget for what this establishment usually costs but I was glad to find a reduced mid week rate online. It is about a ten minute walk from downtown which I liked and it is about a 2 minute drive to Cal Poly. It is right on the 101 but far enough away that you wouldn't know you were close. Breakfast was pretty good. There was something of good quality for every palate and an attentive employee making eggs the way you wanted them. Overall excellent excellent excellent.

This is easily my favorite place to stay while in SLO. It has a friendly staff, a way better than average breakfast, and the rooms are very charming. Downtown isn't too far off a walk and there's a decent brew pub down the street. Great for a romantic getaway or even just business, which is the reason I stay.

The room is awesome they're all a little bit different and the fireplace is cool. I will stay here again.

Rooms look nice. There is a basic breakfast with cereal, coffee, Breakfast sausage scrambled eggs and waffles on request.

I really love their breakfast. I would come back just for that. Also little things like the flavored water, with fresh strawberries. The baked goods were delicious and the eggs were fluffy, sausages cooked to perfection. Again loved the breakfast and the quiet, relaxing ambience. I took a point off because the room style is not my preference. But, decent size and a nice, quaint decor, room is clean, but I am more comfortable with a more updated style.

Disappointed. The small room was too crowded with heavy furniture, the shower head and one sink faucet were covered in mold, the closet had just three hangers, the breakfast was terrible - the hard boiled eggs were frozen, the scrambled eggs (in a bucket) were rubbery and tasteless, the bananas were a few days beyond ripeness for banana bread (black and bruised). I asked them to clean the mold and they seem to have attempted to do so but were not successful and did not address it with me afterward. I do not recommend this place.

P.S. After I lodged another complaint on the second morning the mold was gone

Decent hotel in San Luis Obispo. A bit too far for the downtown area (20 Min walk), but decent rooms and in a quiet location. Breakfast was included, but it was very basic.

They recently finished renovations and we were lucky to stay here for a week while still WFH. They are pet-friendly ($75 pet fee per stay). Each morning around 7:30am, they deliver a bag containing scones and a thermos filled with coffee. The room is lovely and spacious. Location is great, within 5 mins driving to downtown SLO but also being a nice, quiet area. Lots of grass and mulch patches within walking distance if you plan to bring your dog too. My only complaint would be if the hotel is booked full, you can hear the second floor guests' footsteps very loudly (It sounds like someone stomping in heels!)

There's quite a bit to write, so I'll put it in point form:

Pros:
* Quaint, quiet, and clean
* Rooms and washrooms are a nice size
* Perfect for couples
* Close to downtown SLO
* Lots of restaurants nearby
* Complimentary breakfast is great
* Bicycles and DVDs available to borrow
* They keep a list of upcoming events
* Trolley stops outside
* Friendly service
* No smoking
* Pets are allowed

Cons:
* Free WiFi is not password protected
* Free WiFi could not connect at all
* Bedsheets had old stains on them
* Bed is uncomfortable
* Pillows are too soft

Clean and nice. Parking is terrible and the AC didn't work as good. But overall, 4 stars!

Friendly staff, clean rooms, comfortable amenities, good breakfast. I would've liked a little more water pressure in the shower though. Other than that a wonderful place to stay!

Quiet rooms. Lots if amenities. Full Direct TV with a DVD player. Continental breakfast was very good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Even had loaner bikes you could use to ride through downtown. Only drawback was the parking, very tight with no outlet on a steep grade

Love this quaint and charming lodge. Staff is amazing and the rooms are clean, welcoming and breakfast is a nice touch.
My second time being a guest here. Anytime I'm in SLO I hope this place is available.

This is one of the most comfortable rooms I have ever stayed in. The bedroom and bathroom are lovely - the bed is so comfortable. Only downside I can think of is all rooms are on a staircase landing and doors are next to each other. Walls are thin so you hear people coming up and down. Annoying for light sleepers like myself, but I would still stay here again and again

Small rooms and difficult parking. I wasn't overwhelmed for the value.

This is an outstanding property. Well- designed and well-staffed. The rooms were very creatively laid out. Free breakfast provided was excellent. San Luis Obispo is an interesting City to visit with many excellent dining opportunities available. The Mission Church is also a must-see.

Beautiful place to stay. Very professional and courteous staff. They're extremely pleasant when asking typical tourist questions. The rooms are VERY clean! Breakfast is delicious! My two downfalls are the out of place shower. I think they forgot to update it with the rest of the room. And the sloped and heavily cramped parking, yuck! I saw an elderly couple struggling to get their luggage up the driveway to their vehicle. I ran to help them out of course. The man said, "they should tell people that this place isn't well laid out for us old folks and the disabled". If you are either, stay at the first chateau closest to the office. You'll be on level ground.

The rooms are spacious, the beds are very large and comfortable, and the parking lot is large and safe.

Was a nice place the shower points at the wall and was rather annoying and the maid was making rounds at 8 the day we were leaving seems like we were rushed out.

Super nice staff with amazing full breakfest. It also comes with great homemade yogurt. Rooms are fine, clean and useful.

Rooms are nice. But sound travels with the hardwood floors.

A hidden gem, cozy, comfortable, Nordic clean style, nice service. It was recently renewed so the room was missing simple things like trash can or a place to hang your coat.

Very nicely appointed rooms, away from traffic noise. Were able to check in early without any problem. Very polite staff member on check in desk updated us happily with information about the town, restuarants etc.

Great hotel with themed buildings and a fantastic breakfast included.

Very cute hotel composed of three buildings with different themes. A nice breakfast is included, but you have to stop by Apple Farm a couple doors down at least once! Our room was very spacious and relaxing. And they're dog friendly, which is a great plus.

We really enjoyed the stay here and the staff was excellent.

Very nice, clean, big TV, delicious breakfast, big bathroom, free warm robes.

Very nice rooms. The bathroom and shower were amazing. The bed was very comfortable. I received a phone call within an hour checking out informing me I had left a pair of shoes in my room. They offered to ship them to me if I had already left town. I have never had another hotel notify me like that! The only disappointing thing was realizing I had to schlep my big suitcase up several flights of stairs because none of the buildings had elevators. I will definitely stay here on my next trip to SLO and will bring two smaller bags instead of one big suitcase.

This place such a place of rest. Absolutely loved the style and decor. The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom is beautiful with amazing Aesop products. Fresh coffee and pastries delivered to your door every morning. I wish I lived here... but seriously.

Great hotel. Convenient, nice rooms. I know it's not a reason to pick a hotel, but the shower is awesome

WOW! Home away from home. From entry into the check in. Smell of fresh baked, free cookies. I was greeted by Craig a San Luis Obisbo raised local whole knew the whole area and answered all of my many question on getting acclimated to the local activities. I prefer what the locals do not tourist spots so I had a lot of questions. He couldn't of been any friendlier. Centrally located cottage style rooms. Near downtown and minutes from the ocean. This room felt like I was at home. Super clean & modern, his and hers sinks, fireplace, robes, 4 post wood bed, jetted tub, exposed wood beem ceielings, sitting area to eat or watch tv, free WI FI at the media desk if you work from a computer, high quality TV with access to movies or the free DVD selection in the lobby with all the latest titles.
