Although we stayed only for a night, I really liked this hotel. The staff was helpful. They gave as cookies and a decorative apple on check-in, which we really liked. Parking was easy. The room was clean. We had breakfast at their restaurant and we also enjoyed that very much.

The bed was really comfortable!
New table lamps with plug sockets have been installed by bed side to make up for lack of sockets to meet modern traveller requirements (it is an old hotel)
The shower pressure and temperature was good.

From my experience, its gorgeous scenery BUT the transportation is antiquated, resulting in higher travel expenses because I had to Uber everywhere.... Rent a car or have alternative transportation set up if you do decide to visit SLO.
Theres only two buses out there that run once an hour.
And one bus on the weekends.

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.
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.

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.
I like that the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the pool area was lit up so beautifully, the jacuzzi was amazing! The beds were very clean and comfortable. For the money we paid, I think it was so worth it. Didn’t feel like a cheap / dirty hotel. The bed sheets and blankets felt good quality.
Also, we were a 6 minute drive from San Luis Obispo, and only a 15 minute drive from Pismo beach.
Very weird but interesting place. Room was fun and decor in restaurant and bar was crazy and weird, tacky but in a good way. Nice with a hotel with some character. The food was nice in the Cooper cafe, didn’t try the steak house as it was very pricey. The best part was the pool area - lovely big pool, bar that served drinks and sandwiches and just nice spot to be.
This is the best hotel of my trip. Kansas City to Newport Beach, CA then to Northern Calif. Outstanding hotel ... 5 star all the way. Walked in the room and was "blown away" at the amenities, a fire place, awesome shower, sink area was stocked up and beautiful. If your traveling you have to stay here, period.
The location was the best part of the stay. The Inn is located a block away from a main street in the heart of San Luis Obispo. Holly and Kava were very pleasant staff members and the decor in the reception area was very warm and friendly. The bathroom was spacious and modern with a large shower area.
The location wasn’t too far from downtown area. So, that’s nice. We did an overnight leisure biking trip though, so it wasn’t the best from the train station since the last 0.4 miles is a slight incline.
Place is clean. Pool and jacuzzi were good.
Checked in quickly, staff very nice. Bed was comfortable, room was very clean. Nice hotel with pool. Decent breakfast included. Area is convenient, just off highway and a 20 minute stroll to "downtown".
We stay in the hotel only for one night on the way to San Francisco. It is a super stop direkt on the highway. Room was big, clean and comfortable. Near to the hotel is a nice Breakfast Restaurant.
The staff! Super friendly and nice!
Lina, you rock.
Rooms are big, clean and comfy.
Walking distance to downtown.
Probably the best motel your gonna find in slo
Lovely, historical house and immaculate B&B. Great location in central San Luis Obispo, easy to walk anywhere. Free parking (in a nearby public garage).
