Being an "ex" local, the Garden Street Inn was just what we were looking for. You can't beat the location if you want to wander around town. We were there over Spring Break which I must say helped out on the "noise factor" since the Cal Poly students were gone for the week. We loved the cookies hanging on our... more

When I contacted the Garden Street Inn directly to book a room (that I could not book online because their website was not working), I was told that I had to book two nights in order to secure a reservation. Their policy reads "two nights room reservations are required for special event weekends or holidays." Neither applied to the date... more

My husband and I recently traveled to Cambria and SLO for our first trip without our kids in five years. We spent one night at the FogCatcher Inn in Cambria, which was amazing. Then we stayed the next night at the Garden Street Inn. What a disappointment. While the staff was very welcoming and friendly when we arrived, we started... more

I am exhausted after my one night stay at Garden Street Inn... if you are of the mind that a hotel should accommodate guests in attempting to provide a good nights rest, do NOT stay here. I came on a Wed. night and had read the reviews warning against noise, but was flabbergasted as to what was in store for... more

I've lived in San Luis my whole life, and this Inn has been a local fixture for as long as I can remember. It is the only Inn/Hotel that is in the downtown area. It is close to Farmers Market on Thursday, close to all the restaurants and bars, and close to all the shopping. By close, I mean that... more

Great location, kind of nice Victorian decor, but just not a very good feeling place. When I stay in a good B&B, I expect to be pampered a little bit. Instead, I felt as though it was very rule-oriented with little attention to traveler comfort. The wine and cheese hour in the evening consisted of one large bottle of white... more

The Garden Street Inn was a wonderful choice for my families vacation. The food was great, the staff was cheerful which made our stay enjoyable. The room was clean and whenever we needed something the staff tried their best to get it for us. If you want to have a wonderful time in San Luis Obispo stay at the Garden... more

The Inn is a very attractive place, with a very friendly and responsive staff, well-appointed rooms, and excellent breakfasts. The rooms were fairly large and quite clean. There were a few glitches - a broken bath fan, a for some unknown reason, an artifical Christmas tree was stored beneath our bed. The location is superb, with easy walking to the... more

We decided to stop in San Luis Obispo for a night during our drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles and tried the Garden Street Inn as it appears to be the only accommodation in downtown SLO – i.e. walking distance of the restaurants. We didn’t arrive until 7.30 but luckily they had rooms available and due to the late... more
