The parking experience was satisfactory, likely due to the slow weekend. Unfortunately, the front desk staff was unfriendly and failed to greet me. In comparison to other options, Avenue Inn offers a superior location and better overall experience.

8/10 Very good

The room was clean. However there was leftover stains on the sheets which looked like blood but the sheets had been washed. The mirror above the bathroom sink looked like it was something out of a horror movie. The parking is horrific and trying to pull out of the place going left or right is really hard because it's a freeway on ramp and offramp. Very dangerous. The parking lot needs to be resurfaced. And there is not ample parking. But for the price the room was clean-ish. Would I stay here again probably not.

Gent at the front desk seemed Very inconvenienced in "having to" check me in, and was even less enthused when he had to come up and resync my tv so i could watch the news. I don't expect much from staff anymore, vut I do actually expect some small degree of positive attitude as a guest at the property...

Well priced near downtown SLO

It was the cheapest place I could find around San Luis Obispo making a last minute booking on a Friday night. I needed a place crash and it served my needs. No frills, but everything was adequate.

He was really chill about me arriving to my check in late and when accidentally locking my key in my room. Both occasions were around 1am. The room was really nice, and clean I had a microwave, a fridge and a blow drier, and a Roku tv. I’ll be staying there again.
