Everything one needs at an. Affordable
Price. Comfy beds, safe area, walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Not fancy but refrigerator, microwave, iron, ironing board, nice Tv WiFi. I’m happy!
Haha, continental breakfast was coffee and a granola bar. But, you don't book a hotel for the breakfast. We usually stay elsewhere when visiting Cal Poly. The price was about half of where we typically stay so tried out. Not exactly modern, but very clean. Staff was super pleasant, asked for upstairs room and 100% accommodating. Parking on premises was more than adequate, especially for SLO. Bed was fine, slept great. Seriously, zero complaints, would absolutely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Location is great for the price. Staff are helpful and efficient. Pillows could use an upgrade.
We always try and stay at the Avenue Inn when we travel to SLO. It’s always consistently clean, friendly staff, convenient to downtown, and a safe area!
I loved it I went for my anniversary to SLO. So simple and cheap! Very friendly staff! I would recommend :) Every place was walkable and so nice for a night out <3
