    Absolutely beautiful area.

    Absolutely beautiful area. Very charming downtown with a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Beaches a short drive away. Highly recommend SLO Provisions for breakfast. El Esquina for a delicious meal. Farmers Market on Thursday nights give a wonderful sense of local products, foods and services. Very easy to walk around downtown. Morro Bay is an easy 20 min away. A beautiful drive. Morro Bay is a charming beach filled with local surfers, people walking their dogs or just hanging out to soak in the waves and surrounding beauty.

    Close to downtown, shopping and restaurants to include the famous Madonna Inn. We were there to visit our student at CalPoly. Great amenities for our family. Always nice to have extra space in our room with the living room/dining area.

    Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes. Easy to get around. I loved how unique all the different buildings and houses were. Food was only decent, but not terrible. Good breweries, too! Very walkable. The highlight was going to the hot spring resort for their hour-use tubs.

    Beautiful place to visit.

    Beautiful place to visit. University town with a lovely walkable downtown. Lots of restaurants. Many people biking. Close to Pismo and Avila Beach, Morro Bay (and Rock) and the gorgeous central coast.Always love coming to SLO but it can be very pricey. This was a quick family visit so didn’t eat out much. Always find time for a latte at Scout coffee. If you are on a budget, check out hotel prices in advance prior to choosing dates. Inexpensive places jump to over $200 per night during certain weekends.

    We went for an early morning run up the convenient bike path into SLO. We had a great tour of the city on foot and visited the El Camino Real sites and the Mission. We ran back through the hills and had a great view of the surrounding areas. Worth returning to visit. High up on the historic trail.

    I like the location right off the freeway and a walk away from the Madonna Inn steak house. Another thing I like is that it was very quite which is a plus if you had a long day. Dennys is right in the same parking lot and get a 10% discount if you decide to eat there. You also get a 10% discount from Round Table pizza. The uber rides are under $10 if you go to downtown San luis obispo which I took advantage. Hearst castle is only 50 min away Pismo beach is 15 min away & Morro bay is 20 min. Like I said location location location.

    Our family travelled in USA for 3 weeks and stayed in about 10 hotels. Quality Suites Downtown SLO is the best. The decoration style in the hall is unique and beautiful. Very friendly and helpful staff (front desk, bar, kitchen etc.). The room is comfortable and spacious. The happy hour (free drinks) and the BBQ every night is very impressive. The breakfast is high-quality and well-prepared.

    We did not plan to stay in San Luis Obispo, but decided to have a rest stop after a long drive. It was a fast and very good decision to book this hotel. Neighborhood is very quiet and welcoming. The price of the room was very nice considering that it’s California where everything is expensive. Room was big and clean, beds were comfy. I would recommend it for anyone.

    The location was fine. The staff was fabulous. The hotel was about a mile from the downtown areas, where most restaurants, shops and the farmers market on Thursday are located. We walked to the Farmer's Market and back to the hotel in the evening and felt safe doing so. The hotel is very convenient to visiting Cal Poly SLO which is why we were in town.

    I've stayed here several times and it's always good. The rooms are quiet and the area is quiet. Jerry is a great guy and he went the extra mile for me when I had a scheduling issue. I think the Sunbeam is the best deal on the central coast and I've stayed at a lot of places around here over the years. Rock on, Jerry!
