We spent two days at this motel as we stopped in SLO, and can honestly say it was a very pleasant experience! The staff were very helpful, informing us about the Farmers Market on Thursday night! The motel was well placed with a pleasant walk into the town, clean, quiet and breakfast too! More

This is the "only downtown motel." The location is very convenient; we walked to the heart of downtown. We knew the room was clean due to the overpowering cleaning agent smell (ammonia?) which amplified the instituational feel of the room. However everything worked (room fridge, microwave, coffemaker, etc) and check-in and check-out were efficient. They also offer free continental breakfast... More

Great location. We can walk downtown for breakfast, come back and change our clothes (temperature changes fast in SLO), head back for some 'retail therapy'. Great price, free wireless internet, nice staff. And always been able to book a room through AAA. When we ask for a specific room we have gotten it..(recommend you ask for an upstairs room) No...

Travelodge in the UK is a budget hotel chain but you can usually expect a certain level of quality. Unfortunately the same does not translate to the motel in SLO. I arrived quite late and whilst the guy behind the desk was speedy, efficient and friendly - he put me into a smoking room which stunk of cigarettes when I... More

The Downtown Travelodge has the best location because it is located only a few blocks away from the main downtown street. They also have the best prices, which include free wireless internet and a free continental breakfast. The staff is always cheerful and willing to help all of their guests with anything they might need. I would highly recommend this... More

I did not pre-book any accommodation in SLO and that was a big mistake, as I had to pay $99 for a room here which was not great value. This is a basic motel. Location is great, five minutes walk into the vibrant downtown area. I had no real issue with the motel apart from that is basic, bed and... More
