After a grueling journey from Boston involving a delayed flight and lots of traffic on the roads from LAX, we wanted to unwind and enjoy a slice of heaven by a CA beach. I think our experience would've been a lot different if we had time to enjoy the many facilities this resort offers but for a school tour, particularly one as remote as Cal Poly, you need to get a vibe of the town and surrounds and we only had time to hang out in SLO for an hour after dinner. It's about a 15 minute drive from the hotel. Staff were all very nice and helpful but the club is expensive (approx. $330 for a night) for what we needed. Rooms and decor are tired albeit huge with full kitchen and walk in closet. Remember to go buy some food for breakfast - I am not sure if there was a restaurant serving breakfast. It is great if you are a couple to sleep in a King as most hotels are Queens or Doubles which are tough for us and the sofa bed was comfortable for our 17 year old so we had a good night's sleep after our wretched journey. The weather is much cooler here than in further south in LA and so remember your fleeces and light jackets. On reflection, we would've done a lot better by staying in SLO itself to be nearer the campus and to get a feel of the town although if you visit in the summer, remember that half the population of SLO is comprised of students so summers will be atypical.
