Check in was easy and fast. The room was clean, but too much air freshener. The room had only two bath towels, one hand towel, and one wash cloth for two people. And only one coffee cup. Breakfast was supposed to be "grab and go", but was really non-existent.

Rooms were dirty. Stains all over the couch, bed linen, and towels. There was a hair tie left on the door knob with a handful of hair stuck to it. I was walking around in my socks inside the room and the bottom of my socks were black. Not clean whatsoever.

Room layout was funky, couldn't get in front door as it kept jamming - needed desk clerk to help. Clerk said it was just purchased by another hotel chain, and had been fumigated for bugs (that didn't sit well with me). Nice that it was close to downtown and freeway.

Super busy weekend at SLO this was the only spot available. Room was spacious and comfortable but not clean, at all. The tile and hardwood had not been cleaned in what seemed liked forever out feet and shoes were black after walking on it. We were there for 4 nights and didn't receive any housekeeping.
