We wanted only a place to sleep, so it was ok. Would have liked some options for actual breakfast - rather than just pastries. Excellent location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Friendly service--let me check in early and provided helpful information. Room was pretty clean (minus the empty beer bottle behind the TV table). Excellent location--right off the freeway and within walking distance to downtown shops. In-room fridge and microwave were an unexpected bonus.

I don't understand why the San Luis Obispo Downtown Travelodge does not have a higher rating because overall, it's good for the price. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular but if you're looking for a place near Downtown San Luis Obispo, a place to sleep and shower, and a place to feel safe -- this is the place. I will definitely return to it!

I thought this hotel didn't have microwave/fridge, but it did have both, which was a nice surprise.

manager was very helpful and pleasant

Disappointed. I reserved the more expensive 2 queen room and got knocked down to 2 doubles with no refund. The place was ancient, with flimsy doors that left my friend and I nervous. It was way overpriced for what we got. I will not be staying there ever again. Wish I could have gotten my money back and stayed somewhere else. Thankfully I did take my […] own blanket and pillow.

THE GOOD NEWS: the hotel is incredibly close to the Down Town area, by that I mean shops, food and sights. The room also come with a shower, a toilet, a mattress and a door that locks. I love that the room comes with a refridgerator and microwave. THE BAD NEWS: The room is very dirty. The sheets, the carpet, the bath room, the walls the matress all […] have stains, some rather unsightly. The matress was not even, I would sink in like a hole in some areas. But on the plus side, no bed bugs. Read more

We came home to our hotel room and the screen had fallen off the bathroom window so we had a fright thinking the place had been broken into. That was not the case but by the time we finally fell asleep, we could hear vacuum cleaners all night/early morning! Bring earplugs!

Comfortable. Good value, but basic. Bring your own pillow and comforter if driving.

This hotel is in a great spot, close to the freeway and downtown slo. There are no frills but its a great, low priced spot if you don't care about fancy amenities or lavish rooms. Our heater didn't work but the front desk clerk/owner was very polite and helpful. He came to our room right away to work on the heater and when he could not get it to work […] he brought us a nice portable heater. The rooms are fairly small however we knew this coming in. Don't expect to be blown away by this place but it's perfect for a spot to stay and you can easily get to where you need to go. Will stay again for a low priced spot w/ great customer service.

A no-frills place with good quality for the things that matter, such as the room itself, parking, and convenience to downtown spots. There's no swimming pool or jaccuzzi but there are beaches nearby. The staff was very friendly and was willing to give a reduction in rates.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms were very small and dated. Fortunately, we were only needing it as a place to sleep, as it wasn't the type of room you wanted to spend any time in. The rooms were dated, and the sheets and towels were clean. It did need a good maintenance cleaning. There was no air conditioning, so we relied on the windows... which pointed out how long it […] had been since the screens on the windows had been wiped down. We chose this hotel because of the location. It also had a reasonable price. But, the price we paid was definitely shown in the feel of the hotel room- very cheap. Read more

This is a very bare-bones property. The "free breakfast" is a small counter top in the lobby with coffee and cereal. The property appears very well kept up from the outside, new paint, etc. But the room was a different story. While it was clean, there's no air conditioning or climate control of any kind beyond a ceiling fan and a tiny wall heater with […] no visible means of control. Curtains were ripped and hanging loose from the rod in several places. The TV was a small, old model with a burned-out screen. Bed spread was torn and faded, linens were thin and very well used. Mattress lumpy and sprung, pillows flat and limp. The toilet seat was loose, the linoleum in the bathroom was peeling up in several places. Mold and mildew in the shower stall. Because of the lack of a/c, you have to to leave the windows open all night, which was a problem when the garbage truck came by at 6am banging dumpsters and setting off the dogs in the next yard. At check-in the front desk guy, after trying to upsell me to a more expensive room, was very friendly and helpful. Bottom line: I thought I was getting a good deal, but I feel like I overpaid by about 50% based on the condition of the room and lack of amenities. As a place to sleep for a few hours on the road, it's maybe acceptable but for anything more it's a disappointment. Read more

We booked here just as an overnight on our way North. It was average in every way. It is convenient to the downtown area if you are planning a longer stay and is much cleaner than the uptown (on Monterey) Travellodge. Breakfast is skimpy. But I am accustomed to the Hampton Inn type of breakfast selection. If you are into fruit and muffins for breakfast, […] this would be okay. Friendly staff even at 11 p.m. Read more

Double room is a single bed almost full size. A man and a lady he met were in the room next to me. I kept hearing him ask if things were going to cost extra. As far as cleanliness, I wouldn't walk without shoes anywhere inside the room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was very old and dated, the room was supposed to be non-smoking, but its smelled terrible...smokers definitely stayed there prior to me. So everything I brought smelled of smoke!! :( Also, the shower was ice cold...there was no hot or remotely warm water there. I stayed in room 57 so future travelers beware. Breakfast was meager: yogurt, cereal, […] muffins, and fruit.The only positive is the location. It is close to the freeway and the entertainment of downtown SLO. Read more

When I arrived I was a given smoking room with a double bed when I had reserved a non-smoking room and a king bed. The breakfast was terrible, old pastries, small lobby, very unappetizing. The room looked old with no heater working or any air conditioner of any kind that could be seen. The price was way too much for the quality (I dare say lack of quality) […] of the room. I recommend that this travel lodge be avoided at all cost!!! Read more

For what you [pay per night to stay here I definatly think a remodel is in order. I have stayed cheaper at no-name hotels and had better rooms. Layout is horrible, amentaties need updated. Was told conflicking information by same hotel clerk as to whether or not I could leave car parked after checkout to attend a wedding 2 blks away(the whole reason […] I chose this hotel). Turns out i could not leave car. Read more

This hotel was not a nice experience, the floor carpet pretty stained and nasty hard spots on it. No hot water available in the sink to wash hands or face, shower ok. No heat available and windows cracked open and locked.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room wasn't clean and we had neighbors upstairs that partied all night. We didn't get any rest and had to drive 9 hrs back home the next day. It was very difficult to even get caught up on rest to be alert for work that Monday. I thought that we had gotten a room with a hotel that guarded their guests against this kind of happening.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Conveniently close to downtown. Bathroom and bedroom were both clean and roomy. We had two rooms, and the hotel made sure to give me adjacent rooms.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location of this hotel is ideal for visiting downtown San Luis Obispo; however, it was not clean. Sheets have holes, as well as blanket having holes. All chairs had terrible stains, carpet was stained, lamp shades had excessive dirt.

This place was absurdly bad. The shower was all moldy, the coffee maker was on the bedside table, the closet was a metal bar hanging next to the tv, the table was so wobbly it wouldn't support two gallons of water, the sheets were not fitted and therefore pulled up in the night, the mattress was probably 15 years old and you could feel every single […] spring. The single redeeming quality of this motel was that it was walking distance to where our event was, so I guess worth it? I'll probably just suck it up and pay more for a hotel that is at least clean next time. Read more

I usually stay at Hotel 8 but decided to try an new spot closer to downtown, I have a daughter going to Cal Poly. The space was pretty small, no iron or ironing board. no real counter space in bathroom..very noisy.

Hotel was a bit beat-up -- chairs were stained, the electronic key card kept failing, and they almost forgot to clean the room one day. Shower was good, location was very handy, staff was friendly. Rate it cheap but adequate.

Sure, it's close to downtown, and probably a cheap rate, but don't do it! Had I known how terrible this place was, I would have GLADLY shelled out the extra $20-40 a night for a better place. The owner was a really nice guy, but the staff was a nightmare. I got in an altercation with some "night security" kid who clearly thought I was a 20 year old […] college student. He tried forcing me inside my room when I went outside to make a phone call. Physically pushed me and threatened to call the police on me... for a phone call and a cigarette?! Then in the morning, I noticed my car windows were down (very silly feature on a Nissan that rolls down the windows if you hold down the unlock button, and I unknowingly sat on my keys or something.. yeah, not cool) and it had rained during the night. So the interior of my car was pretty soaked. I asked the front desk for a couple towels, and the lady asked me "what for?" Slightly taken aback from the question, I answered honestly and told her that I needed to wipe down the interior of my car because of the rain. Her response, and I KID YOU NOT, was: "we don't give towels out to wipe down cars." I mean, really?!? Is that Travelodge Rule #372? What DO you give towels out for? I couldn't believe it. Anyway, aside from all of that, the room was prison small, stuffy, and more uncomfortable than I could have ever imagined. I visit SLO regularly and you couldn't pay me to sleep here again. I strongly recommend paying just a little more for a nicer place. Fool me once... Read more

It's like the old drive up motel where you park just outside your room. So, its modest. But, the price was right, the location was GREAT (we walked everywhere downtown), the room and bathroom were clean, the bed was much more comfortable that I expected, everything worked fine and the staff was very friendly. I would definitively stay again.

A place you end up when it's the end of the line. Non-smoking room (#56) had cigarette burns on the bathroom sink and the front window curtain. Did not smell of smoke, but reeked of masking scent like from a deodorizer you hang from your car mirror. All neighbors (both sides of unit and unit above us) were noisy jerks you could hear through thin walls. […] Wall heaters were old/dusty, covered over post-installation with metal mesh and a hole cut out for the on/off dial (thermostats broken on both, one didn't even have a knob, you just twisted the metal post hoping you wouldn't be electrocuted), leaving dangerously sharp edges right where you turn the dial. Everything was overused and broken down. One bedside lampshade had been crushed and then re-blocked instead of replaced, all full of splits. Indoor/outdoor type carpet was unclean--too gross for bare feet. Walls must be on their millionth coat of paint. Bathroom was too bleah to shower in, toilet in a weird narrow space, bathroom door hard to close and open. We almost left early the second night but needed to sleep and then left earlier than planned the next morning, just to get out of the dump. Worst place I've ever stayed in. Intensely depressing. Avoid. Read more

The only reason you want to stay in this hotel is for the location. If you are looking to spend the night in downtown SLO. This is the hotel for you. Plenty of great food, bars, and music only a couple a blocks away. Easy to stumble back to the hotel at 2AM. The rest of the hotel is not worth writing about. same as a motel 6 or super 8.

Smoking room, Hotel empty. Asked to be moved. Wanted to charge more. Aweful smell

Genuine Expedia guest review

One of the few motels in San Luis Obispo that has smoking rooms.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location was great. right in downtown San Luis near all the great eateries, bars, and shops. On the downside the rooms were small, dirty, and noisy. There was a dried blood stain on the comforter and you could hear everything going on around your room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Simple but clean motel. Adequate for quick stay in SLO.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I would not recommend this hotel. While it is close to Cal Poly and downtown SLO, it was quite run down and the quality of the linens was poor. Also, there is no air conditioning, so in mid-September it was stuffy and hot, and keeping the windows open meant traffic noise. The hotel staff was friendly and nice, however.
