Best avocado toast EVER! 2 people could probably share this 1/2 order, the basil aoli, feta and balsamic glaze are sooo good together with the bacon, acid and egg! Great service, friendly staff, and lots of other yummy menu items, fresh baked goodies and fresh brewed coffees. Make this a must try for breakfast/brunch or lunch!

"We love this hotel. The entire staff are wonderful and so friendly. The evening manager reception drinks are well received. Plus in the evening the BBQ steak sandwich is the best meal for a quick and filling meal for a busy day of touring around. We also love the breakfast in the morning. Every time we have gone the grounds and the rooms are spotless and relaxing. We will be back to this hotel next time we are in SLO. "
