Hotels near Phoenix Books, San Luis Obispo

Our stay at Hotel Cerro was fantastic! We had a beautiful garden view room with the best patio, which was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the serene atmosphere. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The on-site restaurant was also a highlight of our stay—every meal was delicious, with fresh ingredients and impeccable service. We especially loved the laid-back and charming vibe of San Luis Obispo. The little town has such a cute, friendly atmosphere, and everyone we met was so kind and laid-back. We can’t wait to come back for another perfect getaway!

This is a family-run motel with rooms that open to the balconies or the parking lot. It is located on the edge of downtown SLO, close to the exit from Highway 101. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Rooms are clean. Plenty of towels and hot water. Housekeeping service every day. They even maintained this service during the pandemic! Showers, no bathtubs. Refrigerator and microwave and coffee service in the rooms. No elevator. Coffee and snacks are available in the office. There is a gas station across Marsh street with an extensive selection of food and drink. Headstrong gym, a very well-equipped training facility, is across the street at the back. You can get daily access for $20. This is a pleasant, affordable space to stay.

The suites are large: a living room area and a separate bedroom. Ours had two TVs, a microwave, a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. But the real selling point is there is a wonderful free breakfast daily from 6:30 to 9:30am. The cafe and outside tables allow for plenty of room to enjoy the wide variety of breakfast items, including egg dishes prepared to order. The cafe staff are uniformly friendly. Also from 5:30 to 7:30pm there if Happy Hour in the bar. Beer and wine are free. Sit in the bar or sit out by the pool. If you want a quick hot dog or burger, a barbecue is available and the prices for that food are nominal. The hotel is right off the 101 on Monterey St, which goes right down to the old downtown section. I can't say enough good things about this operation and it is the only place we stay when we visit San Luis Obispo. I have to assume that the management of this hotel knows what they are doing and seems to have employees who are happy and service oriented.

It's a quiet town on Highway 1. The sanitation and environment are very good. Maybe there aren't any good hotels nearby on Highway 1. The price/performance ratio is not very good. It might cost 3,000 during the peak season when I made the reservation. ➕RMB, the room is only 30 square meters, a 5-star price with a 3-star package, no slippers, no toothbrush, and it is not recommended for people with neurasthenia who can’t stand the noise. The air conditioner in the room is very noisy, and the breakfast is just like a domestic 3-star hotel. The hotel is about the same. If you can choose not to, I don’t recommend eating it. The service staff are quite friendly. The main reason is that there are not many choices. There are only a few nearby hotels that can be booked on Ctrip.

This is not my first review of the Wayfarer SLO. The facilities, room, and staff are great. After several visits, the reason for pause continues to be the breakfast. The hotel charges full bore for a breakfast that is very mediocre. The food quality is not on par with the ambiance of the hotel, and neither is the dining room service. Coffee refills while dining? Sure, if you pay for it. Come on, really? (BTW, each time I have paid 18-20% tip, which is done before the food is served.) Going forward, we will be skipping the hotel breakfast and going to a real restaurant. There are several solid options in area. The Del Monte Cafe is a 5 minute drive and well worth the price.

I am very disappointed in our stay. This was our first staycation after getting married and we’re looking forward to a cute hotel with a bakery and quaint rooms. At around 3:30am the power went out and it got extremely hot in the room. Also, we were on the lower level underneath the lobby which means we didn’t have good windows. It just had a full fenced staircase which means it was pitch black because the sun wasn’t coming through. We had plans for the day and needed to get dressed, ready, put makeup on and do my hair to dress up and couldn’t get ready at all since outlets didn’t work and again, it was pitch black. my husband even tripped trying to move around since it was so dark. We partially booked this place for the nice bakery breakfast spot, and it was closed because of the outage. What we paid for we didn’t get. Also, there was no communication. We didn’t know anything was closed or that there was a hotel wide power outage until we went up to ask what was going on. In top of all of that, we also booked this place for the pool and hot tub. Once we went to go to the pool and hot tub, we realized it was out of service. So we couldn’t use that either. We asked for some sort of a discount or compensation for our room since it was not at all what we paid for and we were told no, they wouldn’t do anything. Last night before bed we said we loved this place and would totally come back but after the bad customer service and lack of compensation for not getting what we paid for, we will be staying at the neighboring hotels unless they get back to us and make this right.

This place had been on my list for years. We were in the area and finally got to go. We went in the afternoon. The fancy pink restaurant isn’t open at that time but you are able to tour the grounds on your own. We walked around and took pictures. The pink is unreal and everywhere. It’s eccentric and feels like you’re in Alice and Wonderland or Barbie Land. There’s a gift shop upstairs where you can buy the goblets. There’s a gift shop downstairs and a restroom. Go into the restrooms. The eccentric details are even there. The men’s bathroom has a waterfall urinal. The women’s bathroom has beautiful details. On the main floor we had lunch at the Copper Cafe. It was good food. Service was great. Order the world famous Pink Champagne cake. I’m not even a fan of cake and I enjoyed it. This place was definitely a highlight of our visit to the Pismo area.

Very appreciated welcome, as gentle and smile. Free appetizer with everything you want. Abundant and quality breakfast. spacious and clean rooms. Very pleasant cover pool. A plausible goes to the bar man

Desiree and all the staff members are amazing. My husband and I stayed for two weeks and that two weeks..everyone has treated us so well. We both had to be up by 4:40am and leaving the hotel by 5:20am..and they already have hot water for my husband hot tea and hot coffee for me. Our experience at the TownePlace Suites San Luis Obispo was one of the best place we stayed in. Thank You From. The Qasem

It took a little longer than expected to check in, but nonetheless it was good. I was told to go around back to park closer to my room. However, the parking lot was being slurried so it wasn’t at all closer. Maybe could be slightly more conscientious of what’s going on around the hotel.
