“Quiet peacefull long weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

My wife and I have eaten at the excellent Apple Farm restaurant several times when passing through the area but have never stayed sat the Inn. We decided this time to stay as we had an engagement in Pismo Beach on a thurday evening and decided to stay through the weekend. We were both in need of some rest and just some peace and quiet. The room was charming and the staff was very accomodating and friendly even down to the cleaning crew. The private hot tub and patio was a welcome addition. We had a very relaxing time and will definitely come back.

“such a nice place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

We called to San Luis Obispo on our tour of the cal coast and we were sorry we did not stay more than the one night we did. It is a really nice relaxing hotel with beautiful rooms and friendly staff. The following morning we had breakfast at the restaurant and it was really super . We wont forget our stay here ...full marks. P S the shop is also a nice place to visit.

“Peaceful getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

My wife and I have always enjoyed stopping at the Apple Farm restaurant while traveling on 101. One year, we decided to come here to stay at the Inn and had a wonderful, restful week end. There is much to see in the area and we enjoy the break from the busyness of the Bay Area. Over the years, as our children have grown, we have grown weary of providing a full blown Thanksgiving Dinner for family and guests. We chose to come to this peaceful spot for the holiday with our teenage sons last year and had such a wonderful experience, we will be returning. Our room was nicely decorated and quiet. The grounds are beautiful with fresh flowers. The staff is attentive and friendly. Our boys love the fresh baked cookies placed in the hotel lobby for guests each evening. If a family needs a break from the hustle and bustle of life, this is a great getaway destination. The grounds are very nicely decorated for the holidays. Highly recommend staying here if ambience and quiet are on your list of requirements.

Room Tip: Rooms at the back of the property, off the creek are quiet.

“Quaint and comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

This is a homely retreat with inviting reception on arrival and our unit had a lovely 4 poster bed and reminded us of a dolls house with its unique decor. No breakfast included but the bakery on site was more than adequate to get us going

“Comfortable, but needs updating. Mediocre restaurant.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

Stayed here while in SLO for a wedding. Room was nicely sized for our family. Enjoyed the large bathroom. Beds were old, but comfortable. We slept well. There were a few cracked tiles on the bathroom floor, and the toilet seat was loose, but everything was clean. I know this hotel is in the process of renovation, but the price was steep considering the condition of the room.
We were given a $5 credit toward the restaurant, so we opted for breakfast. While in college, I remember eating at the restaurant, and thinking it was great. Apparently it has gone downhill. Server was not attentive, and disappeared halfway through our meal, and another server got our ticket for us. Food was just ok, but prices were high, so food should have been top notch.
Also, this hotel has no laundry facility. Kind of a pain to drive to the laundromat.

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel and restaurant. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! You are correct, we are in the process of renovating all of our rooms which involves redoing everything in the room from flooring, bathrooms and decor. In regards to your experience at the restaurant, I am disappointed to hear that we did not exceed your expectations. The service you described is not up to our standards and I have notified our Restaurant Manager about your comments so he can improve upon the problems you mentioned. While we do not have a laundry facility on site, we do offer a laundry service that will pick up and drop off at our hotel. Thank you again for your comments. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Apple Farm in the future!
