    fantastic location

    Can't recommend highly enough for a weekend stopover

    Charming inn, inviting atmosphere, with a fantastic location just a couple of minutes' walk to all the interesting parts of town, where I enjoyed a comfortable bed and a delightful breakfast that included fresh poached eggs.

    Entirely happy.

    cozy breakfast area
    delicious poached eggs
    family-friendly ambiance
    limited teen activities

    The beautiful decor and cozy breakfast area made our family feel right at home. My teenagers loved the delicious poached eggs with veggie sauce. This place truly captured the charm of San Luis Obispo!

    My kids wished there were more activities for teens.

    spacious bathroom
    limited breakfast options
    no dietary flexibility

    The Garden Street Inn Downtown San Luis Obispo offers charming, antique decor that makes you feel at home. The accessible room was spacious and had a modern bathroom, perfect for comfort and ease of movement for seniors.

    More options for breakfast would be nice.

    charming inn
    delightful breakfast
    painted shut windows
    no refrigerator
    limited airflow

    Charming and centrally located, this small inn offered a fantastic stay. The breakfast featured delightful homemade banana bread and avocado toast that was a highlight of my mornings. I appreciated the cozy library with a fireplace and the welcoming staff who allowed late check-out, making it easy to work on my laptop. However, a couple of windows in my room were painted shut, which limited airflow, and having no refrigerator was somewhat inconvenient. Overall, an enjoyable experience with delightful decor.

    local eats
    cozy library
    delicious breakfast
    steep stairs
    limited parking

    Oh man, if you’re a foodie like me, you're gonna love the local eats just a hop away! Libertine Brewing Company and Linnaea's Cafe are pure gems. Plus, the cozy library with a fire was a perfect setting for relaxation. Breakfast? A delicious start to the day, and those afternoon cookies really hit home!

    Now, let’s keep it real—those stairs to the front door can feel like a mini workout, especially with heavy bags. And parking? It’s a dance around the town, so be prepared.

    uncomfortable a/c
    limited breakfast options
    areas needing updates

    The charming atmosphere and the convenience of a complimentary breakfast made my short stay enjoyable. However, I found the a/c placement uncomfortable and noted that some breakfast options could be improved. I appreciate the character of the hotel but feel there are aspects that need updating for a better experience.

    complimentary breakfast
    afternoon cookies
    great location
    painted shut windows
    outdated furniture

    I enjoyed my comfortable stay. The location made it easy to explore the area on foot, and I appreciated the complimentary breakfast. The best part was the afternoon cookies that reminded me of home. I would definitely come back.

    Two of the windows in my room were painted shut. Additionally, I felt the furniture could be updated for a better experience.

    cozy room
    lovely fireplace
    charming decor
    limited breakfast options

    cozy and charming stay!

    We had a lovely night in this old Victorian spot. The room was just like the pics, super cozy! We loved snuggling by the little fireplace during the rainy night. Only downside was no elevator, so be ready to haul your bags up. Oh, and breakfast was pretty basic—a little more variety would be great.
