Budget Inn

last minute motel

Prós: location is convenient, breakfast was acceptable even it was small portions a 1/4 of a muffin, cereal, milk, oj, and coffee.

Contras: room has a smell, poor maintenance, handicapped room when we are not in that need.

Prós: It was cheap and located close to the college and downtown San Luis Obispo.

Contras: It needs some TLC, missing light bulbs, slightly torn curtain, bathtub tiling done very poorly.

For the Budget Traveler

Prós: This is literally the cheapest hotel in the area, literally. There were at least 3 other hotels within spitting distance, but this one is the least expensive. It was fine for a quick stopover in SLO but I wouldn't recommend spending your vacation here. It's definitely a budget hotel but it was clean, warm and safe. As long as you have a decent buzz and a good sense of humor this place will do just fine. The bed was firm, the pillows were soft and the water was hot. Contrary to other reviews, the heater worked. The remote however, did not.

Contras: We were placed in a handicapped equipped room, though neither of us have a disability. Overall it was ok but the shower was laughable at about 4 ft high and poor drainage. The bathroom was practically flooded by the time I finished splashing water on myself. But the water was hot.
