An affordable alternative.
Pros:

Staying at the Mission Inn is a good and affordable one or two night base for a SLO visit. The rooms are clean and spacious. You have to log into the streaming services with your own details but hopefully you’ll be too tired to watch TV.

It seemed like the room was newly renovated. It was very comfortable and surprisingly the room was actually very quiet even though we were close to the road.
