8/10 Very good

Beautiful property. Great location. Very clean and modern. My only complaint is the price for valet a night ($45) and the incidental cost a night ($125), seems a bit steep for a hotel in SLO. Nonetheless, there is a public parking building kitty corner from the property for $16 a night.

Great location. I loved having bikes. The staff is very friendly. The spa is very pricey and so is the valet parking. So I got a massage outside of the hotel and also parked in a local garage instead of the hotel.
