Apple Farm Inn, hotel in San Luis Obispo

Located a short walk from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, this California hotel offers on-site dining, and an outdoor pool. All charming guest rooms include free Wi-Fi.

The place is just right off the highway but very quiet, except for the noisy frogs right next to the old water mill (we like the sound of nature so it was nice to hear, but if you're sensitive to the sound you can ask to have your room farther from it). The home baked biscuits offered when checking in were very good, and it's amazing to relax at the warm jacuzzi on a misty day. We made good use of the pool and the jacuzzi during our stay there. Room was clean and spacious. Their bakery made the best croissant I've seen in the US!

Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo, hotel in San Luis Obispo

The Quality Suites Central Coast hotel is conveniently located off Highway 101, and walking distance from California Polytechnic State University and downtown.

The room was larger than I had expected and i liked that it was separate from the living area. They had a good happy hour and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that they had food under $10.

    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.

    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.

    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 loved how clean this place was. Our room was spotless and all of our toiletries and towels were super clean. Plus excellent location right off the freeway. A quick drive away from Pismo Beach and in walking distance of downtown San Luis Obispo. We had excellent food on this trip, even got pizza delivered to our room one night. We loved being able to walk around downtown SLO and come back to a room that wasn't right in the center of the foot traffic.

    For what looks like a standard motel, this place has little touches that punch above its weight. Friendly staff, good breakfast including good coffee, cute outdoor seating areas (chairs on balcony outside breakfast room, Adirondack under a tree, might even be some by the creek), local newspapers. We were able to walk Downtown (maybe 15-20 minutes), though there are also some nice restaurants just down the block.

    One of the best hotels we have stayed in. Flat out very well done. From the moment you arrive in the car, easy to find park up with great staff. Big rooms with modern feel, amazing roof pool and bar with 100% best location centrally. Highly recommend you stay its a proper hotel. + check out the sushi place in the market one of the best... + the local craft beer bar is amazing... just 5 mins walk away.

    I often visit San Luis Obispo for my sibling, This is my fifth time staying here. Staff is always kind and feel welcome, very clean. Another thing I like about Motel 6 is pet friendly and stay free. This location has multiple grass area in property, close to the large dog park and hiking trails. Highly recommended and I'll be back soon!

    Cute waterfall hot tub and relaxing pool. Nice picnic area near the pool. Room felt large. You can tell the place was recently remodeled. Close to where we wanted to go. OK for the price. Staff was nice. It's mainly a no smoking hotel so the hallways and room smelled clean. Great for families.

    Among hotels in this range, this one is pretty good. 60's or 70s construction, 2 story, exterior corridor, rooms renovated pretty recently, nothing fancy. Pretty clean, tile floors in the room (better than rugs IMHO).
