We stayed here for one night as we toured the Cal Poly campus. The rooms were spacious and well decorated. The beds were comfortable as were the pillows. The linens on the beds were fine but not as high quality as I was expecting. The location is on the same street at many hotels which are all within a mile... More

We stayed one night when visiting Cal Poly with our son. This turned out to be a fine place to stay and they offered a breakfast as well. We drove the short distance to town and had dinner and finished our night off in the hot tub. Close to the Cal Poly campus, clean, and comfortable.

Expensive for the kind of hotel service and location. It is just a place to spend a night, no kitchen / even restaurants closeby. We had to drive for 10 mins to get water for the night. Best if you stay near the main street (near the mission) at SLO.

My friend and I had a great time in SLO. The hotel was just what we needed. Great location (close to airport, the main town and wineries), clean rooms and friendly staff. They have a good breakfast each morning (even eggs and bacon:) would definitely stay here again!

The Holiday Inn Express allowed me to plan a surprise party for my husband using their huge dining area. They were very friendly and helpful for the many days leading up to the event. They even moved some furniture to allow the band I'd hired to have an area to set up, and they moved tables to allow for a... More
