Great location. Decent breakfast offerings, with good variety.
Entire hotel, pool, parking lot were under renovation. Elevator was inoperative most of stay.

The hotel has potential. It is near the freeway, and very close to Cal Poly. The room was average in size, clean and newly furnished. Since the entire hotel was being renovated, the lobby, pool and most of the parking lot were closed. Since it was early summer, we were hoping for some pool and spa time. Both were closed. Construction, machinery, and noise were non-stop during daylight hours. It would be interesting to re-visit this hotel after renovation is completed. ...read more

It was a construction zone!

Someone should have told us they were remodeling! Our room was fine. OK passable. But nothing to write home about.

The hotel was in the midst of a remodel so one floor was closed, the lobby was in a makeshift hotel room and the pool, spa and restaurant were closed.
The hotel was clean and the room was a quick remodel, pretty much bare bones makeover. ...read more

The rooms were upgraded and clean.
The beds were way to soft and spongy, uncomfortable to sleep on.

The hotel was be renovated. The rooms were clean and met our expectations. The beds were awful. They were extremely soft.

Significant repairs.

The Holiday Inn Express in SLO was under going major repairs. Significant portions of the hotel were closed and not available - the lobby, reception, restaurant, pool and spa. We were very unhappy.

Staff was very responsive and friendly.
Next time I would not accept a room across from the ice machine-too noisy early in the morning.

It is a very convenient place to stay if you are visiting a student at Cal Poly; short drive to Campus-nice walk into downtown SLO and near coffee shops and restaurants. The complimentary breakfast was varied and abundant and the staff very efficient and friendly. The room was relatively spacious, clean and comfortable. ...read more

The staff was wonderful. They went out of their way to be friendly & helpful without forcing it.
The pool towels were very tiny. Smaller than the room bath towels!

The breakfast was better than the hotel across the street per friends that were staying at the Best Western. No in house restaurant opens yet. The front desk staff was terrific. We had contact with at least four different people and all were so friendly and responsive. We were also allowed a late checkout which was extremely helpful. ...read more

Friendly staff, clean, cont. breakfast.
We left a shirt in the room, and even though they said they looked, we did not get our shirt back.

This is the second time we have stayed in this hotel in SLO. We were pleased the first trip. If our son ends up going to the University there next year, we will continue to stay here as long as it remains clean friendly. ...read more
