This is a great little to stay in San Luis Obispo. It was within walking distance of downtown and made it very easy to get around. We didn’t have to take our car anywhere. I love the fact that the house of bread is right next-door and they have wonderful breakfast baguettes. I would definitely recommend this hotel. It was basic clean and the staff was friendly. The only reason I gave it one star off was because the vending machine didn’t work outside the office. It looked pretty old and I have a feeling they’re making a lot of money there and not selling any product. However I was told the vending machine has nothing to do with the hotel but still it’s on the premises, I would recommend not using it.

This motel was fine overall. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were like bricks. It felt clean and safe. I appreciated the parking. The room layout was a bit different but spacious. Like most places, there was shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and hand soap available. The location was the best part. About 6 minutes from Cal Poly and an easy walk to everything downtown. Definitely no frills but not bad either.

I checked in at 6PM and had to leave immediately for a dinner, check in was simple and staff were nice. I came back to my room at 10:15 and immediately noticed the sheets on the bed were dirty with hair and a stain. I opened the sheets to find what looked like poorly cleaned blood stains and other unidentifiable stains across the sheets, hair, and a beetle that looked an awful lot like a bed bug. I went to check the front desk and they were closed. I messaged the desk but no reply. I left the hotel and slept on a friend’s couch.

Good: clean rooms, comfortable beds.
Bad: aggressive staff came around at checkout to collect $50 fee for 1 hr late checkout, not disclosed at time of booking. Same with added charge for one child. And NO service of any kind; no food, snacks, water. Very low-end room amenities.
Bottom line: we WON’T be booking again.

We’ve stayed at the Avenue Inn several times over the years, and it has always been consistent, clean, and a good value.

Yes, it’s a motel, and no, it’s not the fanciest place in town. Sometimes the carpet can be a little worn, but the rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-appointed enough for a solid stay. It gives you exactly what you’d expect from a motel experience: nothing fancy, but dependable.

If you’re looking for a reasonable place in a good part of town, with parking and rooms clean enough to make a picky person happy, this place delivers. We’d stay here again.

The NOISE was outrageous! It stated at 5 am with the upstairs’ tenants or staff making quite a lot of commotion. Then, at 8 am the property had a worker doing wok on the room next to us, using electric saws and drills. Also, they advertise free parking but it’s only for one car. If you are meeting anyone in SLO and/or want to sleep in, DO NOT STAY HERE.

We have stayed here several times now on motorcycle rides to the California Central Coast. The motel is clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. The motel is located close to downtown San Luis Obispo which is an easy walk to reach downtown.

This motel is all very clean and updated. It is located in a great place at the end of town and so is easily walkable to shopping and eating. I would stay here again.

I expected this place to be a dump. What a pleasant surprise, it was actually quite nice. The locations is great and the rate was 1/4 what other \"fancy\" places up the street cost.

I will stay here again.

Clean room, AC didn’t work very well. It was so hot in our room and the fan kept going off even though we had it turned on and cold. Decent parking, staff was fine.
There’s just no real amenities here that make it a great stay but definitely decent.

I'm so glad I selected this hotel instead of the more expensive ones downtown. It was easily walkable to downtown, plenty of parking with no issues. The customer service was wonderful. The room was small but fine for a short trip and clean. One issue was that I couldn't figure out how to get the TV to work. I was only there for one night so I didn't ask for help but I'm sure if I'd asked, they would have helped me get it to work.

Our stay at Avenue Inn was very convenient. The location is perfect—just off the highway and right across the street from a supermarket.

As EV travelers, we really appreciated the options: there is a fast charger (Level 3) right across the street, and the hotel also offers private charging stations in their parking lot for a $25 fee.

Check-in was smooth, and the staff were both professional and efficient. We were very satisfied with the room; it felt larger than others in this price range. A huge plus was the window in the bathroom, which provided great natural light and ventilation.

A fantastic choice for anyone road-tripping through SLO!

It's the perfect less expensive hotel for a few nights. Very walkable to downtown SLO. It's my new hotel to stay in SLO with my family when visiting for a quick trip. Plus, the staff was very helpful, friendly, and accommodating.
