    I've stayed here regularly over the past four years, back when it was called "The Kinney." Great location, near some nice restaurants, with easy access to the 101. The restaurant inside is a bonus, although I preferred it when it was called "Leroy's."

    Very nice stay at the Garden Street Inn. Our room was comfortable, spacious, and clean. Liked that complimentary coffee, tea, and wine are usually available, along with the yummy cookies they put out in the afternoon. The location is perfect for seeing SLO downtown on foot. Parking was no problem at all; we were always able to park just two or three blocks away on Garden Street. Dining recos: Luna Red, Locanda, Buffalo, SLO Provisions - all excellent!

    We were on our way from San Francisco to Los Angeles and so we picked to stay at San Luis Obispo since it was midway through the journey. Sunbeam was the best-rated, value hotel that I could find. We liked that we were given a ground-floor room and we could park our car directly in front of it which made baggage handling way easier. The owner was very helpful in giving us recommendations, especially for dinner. We got to eat at the Hawaiian barbeque joint that he recommended.

    Apple Farm Inn in staff is so friendly and helpful. The home I rented for school was undergoing major renovation and it was inhabitable. I needed a place to stay for a few days while I found another place to live. AFI was so relaxing and safe. I enjoyed my evening cookies and tea. Rooms are lovely and clean. I would recommend AFI. Thank you for helping me out with a wonderful room while I figured out everything.

    The main inn rooms were spacious and lovely. We had two rooms and one was clearly more updated than the other, so it seems like a work in progress, maybe? Still, excellent size and very quiet and comfortable. Loved the Apple cider in the lobby! Oh! And the warm chocolate chip cookies! We would absolutely come again.

    I liked the location right next to the Madonna Inn and a short walk to Laguna Lake Park. The room was clean and comfortable.

    Every staff member we came into contact with was pleasant, professional and happy. This kind of service post-Covid is very hard to come by. The food was also excellent. We will be telling all our friends and family about the Madonna Inn’s excellent service!

    The service at the Copper Kettle and the Gold Rush Steak house were both exceptional. The decor and ambiance of the Madonna Inn is outstanding. I think they should consider opening a small sandwich/snack shop in the old service station to service the folks at the nearby Supercharger. A small lounge area with coffee/sodas and snacks up to sandwiches would be a sure way to delight those charging. The staff at the Madonna Inn were all outstanding.
