I would NEVER recommend anyone to this hotel. Don’t waste your money!! First of all there was a dead cockroach on the bathroom floor. I know things happen so I didn’t say anything. Then the neighbors were so loud. I’m reasonable but at 2 am when I have to be up at 6 am… they kept slamming the door, people were partying, music so loud. I had to call several times to the front desk as I had to be up. The front desk acted so annoyed that he had to do his job. After the 3rd call he had me change my room. I was given a room with no heater (see attached pictures) and also a dirty bathroom. Just disgusting. I dealt with it because I was so tired. Front desk is no help as the few days I stayed my key never worked. Again, he acted annoyed and asked if I was using it properly.?!! I’m very understanding but this place is a very unprofessional and an unclean establishment. I was warned by other travelers at the hospital to not stay here and I should have listened. Think twice before you book your stay!

Avoid!

The place was a total dump. The lobby smelled like smoke. There was no one in the front desk to check me in. The room was disgusting... hair in the drain and on the floor. The back of the door had dried glue stuck on it. The right knob of every drawer and door was missing. The pool and spa were out of order and even if they were available were absolutely filthy. Definitely not the Comfort Inn it used to be.

The staff was great. They need to buy a new luggage cart, the other one is falling apart. It was very difficult to maneuver once you get your luggage on. Otherwise had a nice stay.

For such a nice place, this is very reasonably priced, especially for the day before Thanksgiving. It's now my go-to booking for out of town relatives! Walking distance to the beautiful SLO downtown, so especially convenient for folks who come in on a train and don't want to rent a car. Highly recommended!
