I probably wont stay there again. I'll pay $30 more to go somewhere else.
Pros:

Beds weren't too hard. Surprisingly they were okay to sleep on. View was of pool area but grounds weren't very plush. Tub had spots in it and the Sink was way to LOW.

Cons:

For $190.00 I thought there would have been shampoo & conditioner and a built in hair dryer. I wasn't able to do my hair the next day.

Highly priced, horrible quality, sparse accommodations
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

No coffee in room, shower sprayed water all over the bathroom since pressure was so high, no reliable internet. Price ($260/night) was ridiculous for the accommodation. You’d expect to stay in a resort for that nightly rate, instead you get the crap end of the lodging options in CalPoly.

It was adequate and cheaper than alternatives.
Pros:

We needed an affordable hotel in SLO for graduation. Motel 6 only marked up prices on additional 150%.

Cons:

It was in SLO.
