We have a child at CP and have stayed at a number of places and this has been the best for the money. The staff is always VERY friendly. We have never been dissappointed. Thanks More

With it's close proximity to the 101, I was surprised how quiet our room was. Nice breakfast items in lobby, nothing fancy but quick. Our bathroom fan just did not work efficiently, we had to open the window to draw out steamy air. Weird decor thru out the hotel, nothing really coordinated just a little off. Carpet in common areas... More

No, it's not the Fairmont and there's no beach. I think it's important to make that point because I think some of the other reviewers are confused. This is a small hotel in a small, Central California college town. And for that, it's great. Stayed here for the Cal Poly open house. This is the perfect place to stay for... More

Average. Nothing special. As a loyal TA traveller, this was one of the very few hotels that did not meet excellent reviews. Older hotel that was remodeled in the past, but beginning to show wear. Rooms and bathrooms on small side. Beds okay. Paid extra for a balcony that was useless. Decent continental breakfast, but sitting area crowded and not... More

So this isn't the fanciest property (definitely not what I'd call a boutique hotel), but it's clean and comfortable, and the people are very nice. Perks: * Comfy beds * Rubber duckies in the bathroom * Two sinks so two people can get ready at the same time * Bath & Body Works amenities * Free DVD rentals (and the... More

La Cuesta Inn is a spot that a few of my collegues have stayed at when in SLO for business. I dont think I would choose this Inn if I was in town for vacation, but for a quick stay for business its perfect. Clean rooms, welcoming staff, good coffee! My only issue is the noise level from the room... More

We have stayed at La Cuesta numerous times and really enjoy it. We met friends from northern California and it was perfect for us. The General Manager and staff are super friendly and very helpful. The rooms are nice and always clean and having the continental breakfast is nice. We'll be back. More

So, we booked this hotel over other SLO hotels based on the Trip Advisor reviews and rankings, but I am not sure if SLO hotels are just lesser quality or if we just had higher expectations based on the reviews. It was fairly clean and nice, but not a boutique hotel as it was stated in something I read. It... More

All of us at La Cuesta Inn strive to offer the best we can to all of our guests. We have a very high standard for our linen washing, and change all bed sheets with each guest departure. We are currently in the process of upgrading our pillows, after receiving feedback from our guests about the preference. Our housekeeping staff... More

We have stayed at La Cuesta Inn twice while visiting San Luis Obispo and our CP student. We have stayed at many of the SLO hotels over the past few years...this has become our favorite. It is clean, the staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable (especially compared to the other SLO hotels) and it is close to where we... More

- clean rooms - friendly and accommodating staff - hearty continental breakfast (waffles, toast, cereal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fruits, etc.) - really good price for the kind of service and place they provide, though I did go in November More
