Los Padres Inn

While it was just me, a 54 year old travel savvy father, this hotel was fine for the night. I wasn't spending much time in the room so it was just for sleeping and showering. The hotel and room are tired, with scuffed walls, missing paint and a very tiny shower with shower head below chin level. The sinks hot water was turned off, not sure why, and the dated AC almost got the room cool enough. It was fine for a pinch, but at $230 all in, I thought this place would have a bit more charm. The bed was OK, sheets clean and while staff were slow to answer the locked door to the office for check in and out, my stay was fine. Shocked at hotel prices in SLO so settled here. If you know and your OK with a 2-star'ish stay, its fine. Easy walk to town (5 mins) onsite parking, and a place to rest your head...

An easy 5-star review! The room was meticulously clean, and the staff was incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful. When I locked my key in the room, the owner dropped everything and literally ran over to help me out.
