    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.

    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.

    Great downtown with lots of restaurants and shops. Safe and easy to get around on foot or with car. Parking is expensive ($3-4/hr) but easily available. Airport is a breeze to get in and out. Museums, etc are mostly on a thur-sunday schedule.

    San Luis Obispo is my favorite city in all of California.

    San Luis Obispo is my favorite city in all of California. It is an idyllic town with lots of unique coffee places and restaurants. It has a great Farmer's Market. The best feature is that you do not need a car. Everything is walking distance.

    This was the perfect hotel for a family road trip stop in San Luis Obispo. I booked one room on Booking.com but when I arrived I learned that somehow I had paid for two rooms. The hotel manager put us in a room that was perfect for our family and helped us get a refund on the unused room through Booking com. The room was comfortable and clean. The kids enjoyed the pool and we were right next door to the Madonna Inn for lunch. I also loved having the grocery store right across the street.

    We were on our way from San Francisco to Los Angeles and so we picked to stay at San Luis Obispo since it was midway through the journey. Sunbeam was the best-rated, value hotel that I could find. We liked that we were given a ground-floor room and we could park our car directly in front of it which made baggage handling way easier. The owner was very helpful in giving us recommendations, especially for dinner. We got to eat at the Hawaiian barbeque joint that he recommended.

    Our stay was fine, but this place has no value for money. The rooms are tiny and extremely hot, the cost for the room for one night was $295 Australian which is huge for the tiny room and mediocre facilities. A 4 star hotel in Melbourne would be a similar price with a lot more on offer.. I would recommend finding somewhere else to stay, not worth the money at all.

    This is a small motel near the downtown area of SLO. Nothing too fancy but very adequate and reasonably priced. The shower was hot, AC worked great, parking very close to the room and 15 min walk to downtown SLO. We booked it on short notice and worked out just fine. I would stay again.

    This hotel was above and beyond. I’m on a long road trip and have stayed in a few hotels in this price range. This one was the best by far. Clean, spacious, excellent facilities, and the best complementary breakfast I’ve had in a while, all while maintaining a safe environment.
