This was a cute hotel, clean, nice staff, great breakfast, but zero amenities. For a "4 star" hotel, I would expect a little more. The rooms were charming, but not comfortable. No where to set your phone at night, no robes in the rooms, not even a decent mirror in the bathroom. 4 stars

Its a beautiful b&b. There wasn't anyone there when i checked in. They were off property and I had to call and wait for them to arrive. That was a pain, parking is inconvenient. Other than that I'd stay again. Its a beautiful home.

This is truly a unique property. More like an old bed and breakfast vibe with lovely old rooms and old furniture and care. Don’t expect modern facilities like a big TV or fridge in room. But do expect a clean, fun and super friendly experience

Best place to stay in downtown SLO

Great atmosphere, close to everything, and a top notch staff. Parking is at a nearby city structure, and overnight parking cost me $16. Also, some of the room descriptions on hotels.com are inaccurate.

Lovely hotel and great location.

Lovely historic building right in downtown SLO with parking close by. We had an amazing claw foot tub which my husband was a little concerned about getting in and out of. Delicious breakfast made on-site.
