I know, an odd title for a review of a hotel, and more about that later. First, my compliments to staff who were polite and accommodating. The construction was a minor inconvenience. The room itself was comfortable with excellent wi-fi, reasonably comfortably furniture, and good facilities. Certainly nothing to complain about, and better than many hotels I had stayed in... more

We had high hopes for this hotel because we've stayed at many Holiday Inn express resorts before, but this one was atrocious. We were greeted immediately in the lobby with a pungeant, offensive smell of cleaning product, and a terrible odor I couldn't begin to describe When we entered our room, the carpets were dirty (pet room), and the bed... more

After reading the reviews about the hotel and the refurbishment that is taking place I was a bit scared of booking the place but I have to say that this was no bother to me at all. We arrived late and at the moment the reception is located in room 120 as the lobby is now being developed. The rooms... more

Having checked the hotel website there is a small mention of this but I did miss the statement when booking. The hotel is still advertising a swimming pool and spa with lovely pictures on its website but these are closed. Breakfast is... more

We stayed in the hotel during our trip in Highway one. The rooms were maintained nice and the service attitude of the hotel staff is commendable. I was so satisfied that we stayed in this hotel during our return from our trip, this time on 101. more

Stayed here at the suggestion of a colleague because I had meetings at Cal Poly Univ. which is conveniently located very close to the hotel. Made reservations online. No mention however of the major reconstruction going on there which made the stay uncomfortable and overpriced. Heavy paint and wallpaper fumes, torn carpets, dust, building supplies, workmen all over the place...... more

This hotel, which is about as close to Cal Poly as you can get without being on campus, is undergoing a major renovation inside and out and from top to bottom. There was a lot of work in progress while we were there, and it was apparent the rooms were being stripped bare before being completely remodeled. The parking lot,... more

The staff was warm and welcoming and paid great attention to our comfort. Their kind hospitality makes the Holiday Inn Express a special place to us and we enjoy staying there every time we come to San Luis Obispo. The staff is very helpful providing us with information on events in town, great resturants and other happenings in the surrounding... more

We stayed here for 2 nights in January while our daughter visited Cal Poly, and whereas the hotel is going through a pretty major renovation all things considered the staff and General Manager were just excellent, very accommodating, and courteous. If our daughter college of choice is Cal Poly, we will be back.. We requested a king, non-smoking room on... more
