Beautiful setting & spotless inside and out. Located on the outskirts of San Luis Obispo, this is the best hotel to happen to this city in a long time. (For years there were just a bunch of crummy little motels there.) Situated in green, peaceful surroundings. Every staff member we encountered was helpful, efficient, and pleasant. Room was nice, but... More

We stayed here for one night on a scenic drive between southern and northern CA, and this seemed like a convenient place to spend the night. It turned out to be an excellent choice. I've stayed in a few other places in SLO, and this was by far the best. What I particularly liked about this Courtyard is the location.... More

I do a lot of business travel and use Marriott whenever I can since I have a rewards membership with them. This time though, I was seriously disappointed. My room smelled like body odor and was always humid and muggy. Overall, it was a very unpleasant condition to sleep in. There was nothing wrong with the hotel itself. The lobby,... More

I have stayed at the location twice and enjoyed both times. My comments here are a blend of both trips. A benefit of the Courtyard brand is consistency in style and amenities. This location is no exception, an excellent example of the best and latest brand hallmarks. The trademark courtyard is well designed to screen views of the nearby highway... More

We stayed here for one night before moving on to the pismo beach area. The hotel is very nice and well kept. It had a restaurant, bar, pool and hot tub. I got a good deal on Priceline. The staff was courteous and the rooms were updated with granite and such. I would definitely stay there again. The only concern... More

Stopped at this Courtyard on the drive from San Francisco to LA. We had been staying at Courtyards the whole trip due to Marriott Rewards membership and Courtyard preference.

While taking our daughter to SLO to tour Cal Poly we stayed at the Courtyard. It was a newer version, so it had the bistro amenities, a nice sitting area with daily newspapers, they had coffee, tea and water available in the lobby.
