Top California Polytechnic State University Hotel Reviews

Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo

8/10 Good

"This is a very family-friendly hotel in downtown San Luis Obispo. The property could use some updating, and a few items in the room and gym needed maintenance. That said, the staff was excellent, friendly, responsive, and very helpful. The complimentary evening drinks were also a nice bonus, and overall, we had a good stay. The main downside was the noise. We could easily hear people walking by, rolling luggage outside the room, and children playing in the pool. The sound insulation was not as good as I would expect from a hotel in this category. Breakfast was very tasty."

San Luis Creek Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful place to stay, and we felt genuinely well taken care of from check-in to check-out. The staff was friendly, the property was clean, and there were several restaurants and coffee shops within easy walking distance—which is always important when caffeine is part of the itinerary. It is not especially close to the main downtown area, but that was a minor tradeoff for such a comfortable and welcoming stay. I would happily stay here again."

University Inn

10/10 Excellent

"the hotel is basic, but very clean. small fridge, i wish they had coffee makers in the room. shower is clean, bed is comfortable, linens soft. i stayed for a night when visiting cal poly it was pleasant. the breakfast is very basic, coffee, banana, wrapped croissnants, nothing fancy.the lady at the reception was very nice - i can later to ask for hot water she allowed me to use the lobby machine. if you're staying for 1-2 nights and not planning being in the room all day, it's a perfect place to put your head down and rest. wifi was stable."
