“Idea break between LA & San Francisco”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

On travelling from LA to San Francisco the La Cuesta Inn was the ideal place to stop. We had a large clean room with 1 double bed, a TV, microwave & DVD player & a balcony. A large bathroom with an added feature of a plastic duck, was a fun touch. It was nice & quiet. You can also borrow... More

Gregsoon, Thanks for the review! We're happy that you enjoyed your stay with us! Our convenient location makes us an easy trek to the 101, 1, or to downtown SLO.

All staff has always been friendly and professional. I particularly want to commend the staff on my most recent stay for adjusting the price of my room to the... More

“Much nicer than most in SLO - everything you need”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013

Spent 4 nights at La Cuesta for SLO marathon. First floor room was surprisingly private at back/end of hotel, but a little dark and cool/damp? Towels never dried so we got fresh fluffy ones each day. Microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker but not too much space for prep. Fantastic bed and pillows. Extra sink outside bathroom which was handy. Nice pool... More

“Lovely Find in the Hills”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013

We usually stay in the hotel chains because of points towards free tickets, however, twice we have stayed here when in SLO and it was a lovely stay both times. The rooms are wonderful, the pool and hot tub very cozy and relaxing. The breakfast is fine. We enjoyed it very much. It's too bad that the rates have gone... More

“good value for comfortable accommodations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 28, 2013

just spent several days in slo. the la cuesta provided a comfortable base at a very reasonable price. the staff were very friendly and eager to be helpful. the room was good sized, well maintained and quiet. the occasional scent of cleanser in the public spaces was a little offputting but not a real problem.

“A Good Place to Stay in SLO”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 16, 2013

We stayed a long weekend in SLO, at the La Cuesta Inn across from the Apple Farm. Everything went well. No issues with reservations, no issues with the room, and no issues with noise. We had a view of the pool from the balcony. Parking was not a problem. The room was clean and nicely maintained. In-room wireless worked flawlessly.... More

“Exceeded Expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

As a frequent traveler to SLO, I have stayed in many of the Monterey St. hotels. La Cuesta Inn exceeded my expectations and was actually better than other, more pricey hotels (Comfort Inn, Quality Suites, Holiday Inn Express). The rooms were updated, comfortable, spacious, and clean. The lobby had a decent breakfast and tasty coffee throughout the day. The staff... More
