If you are looking for a frilly high end chain hotel, look elsewhere. This is a locally owned and operated mom and pop hotel. We were looking for a place to stay on our road trip up the CA coast. This is a great value for the price. It is inexpensive. It is extremely clean. The rooms are spacious and well appointed (though to some may seem dated). The furniture is in good condition and bed was clean and comfy. They have free WiFi, a mini fridge with a decent freezer, a 4 cup coffee maker and a microwave. Closet area has a full length mirror and a small desk with chair. Also has a 36"

I've stayed here for the last time. The price isn't worth it despite being lower priced than nearby hotels. I hate to sound cliche, but it is a "dump".
Just about every item on the inside is old, dirty, and in need of repair. The lamp near our bed had no switch to turn on. There are plaster patches on the walls, the remote to the TV barely works, and in our case if you leave your room after 11 (we were staying for an extra day) they don't clean your room. I also specifically asked for a quiet room which we got the first night. However, on the 2nd night, despite vacancies

I like to support small businesses but not at any price. Do not stay here. It's a total dump and overpriced. They will overcharge when it's a busy weekend in town. I was so disgusted by the condition of my room that I wore socks the entire time and slept in sweat pants. I had to stick around for a wedding but once it was over I picked up my stuff and drove home so I wouldn't have to stay another night. I genuinely was afraid of bed bugs or who knows what else. The moment I stepped into the room I started sneezing. I wouldn't be so angry if the owners actually made an effort

Why 5 stars? Because it served its purpose. Road tripping it up north and needed a place for the night. Nothing fancy since it was just the one night. We were driving around town looking for a place with vacancy and pulled into this place. Man at the desk was very friendly and showed us the room before hand. The price was just right and the room looked clean enough. Was a bit worried about the overall cleanliness because a lot of the furniture was extremely worn out but the sheets and bedding was absolutely clean so I had a good nights rest. Great location ! We walked to the downtown

After booking a room online at their more modern inn across the street (Los Padres) my partner and I arrived at the inn about an hour or so later. When we arrived we were told that our room was given away because we used a credit/ debit card to pay and only major credit cards would be accepted. We received no phone call on this matter. The front desk offered us a room across the street which we felt obligated to comply to after driving for hours that day.

Clean and spacious rooms. They offer free WiFi that's super reliable and fast. The water pressure is absolutely awesome and consistent. The hot water doesn't fluctuate like most hotels (major plus). It's just 2 minutes from downtown SLO and the street is pretty quiet (especially at night). The staff is very friendly and helpful (especially the one that cleans your room). It doesn't get much better for the price. This is my first time staying here and it won't be my last. As long as the price stays the same, this is where I'll be staying every time I come to SLO.

Way overpriced ! $170 after taxes ! Do not trust the reviews ! There are holes in the sheets and blankets, holes in the wall barely covered by plaster, unfriendly and unavailable staff. Banged on the office for 30 minutes before someone answered. Room was dusty and dirty ! No pool and wifi did not work ! Bed was lumpy. Chairs need replacing, appliances need cleaning. Overall very unpleasant stay. Only redeeming quality was the location. Very close to downtown

Stayed at the Villa Motel for 2 nights whilst driving up the coast from LA to San Francisco. The motel was located centrally on the main street and looked pretty neat from the outside with its fresh turquoise and yellow paint work. Our room and bathroom were large, clean and functional. Free wifi was stable. Shower was nice, with strong pressure. Service was good and efficient - checkin was painless, room was cleaned everyday, towels were replaced. Parking was available just in front of the room. Overall this motel was great value for money.

We came here for the price, really. We called around to try to get the most decent deal for three days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I really hate the pricing scheme in this area. Thursday was $79, Friday was $120 or something and Saturday was $180, plus fees and taxes our bill totaled $500 and some change. Believe it or not, we called other crappier places and they wanted $240 a night, so this was still good. The room is not bad, it is spacious, flat screen Tv, niceish bath, beds are ok. It is rather quiet at night with the occasional drunk student walking on the street trying to sing Rihanna

First there is no pool (from the pictures posted here and another reviewer mentioned pool). This is a very clean Motel and nice owners. I like the large parking lot and location for Cal Poly students. Roomy rooms with tall ceilings. I've stayed in a king room and a two bed queen room. Prices vary depending on whether it's a Poly Parent weekend, or some other in demand weekend and then it goes way up. In off season more reasonable. I think they keep it very clean and we didn't find it that noisy (but we run fan/a-c wherever we stay to drown out noise). As someone mentioned, it&apos

Usual place we stay in Pismo Beach was booked. Our fallback spot in SLO was also booked. Ended up here with a bid thru Priceline.com... VERY inexpensive, extremely clean, courteous staff, flat screen TV, free Wi-Fi.. Refrigerator and microwave in the room. Pleasantly surprised! :-)
7-11 is right up the street from motel and a big grocery store Von's (which is basically a Safeway) is 2-3 miles away.
I think some of the reviews are unfairly comparing this to a ritzy hotel. Area is well travelled, but peaceful, with multiple motels on same street..
I would come here again, mainly because of

This motel is a lot better than a lot of other motels I have seen, even though there isn't any crackheads or prostitutes hanging around there, this place is not worth $100 a night or whatever they are asking for. I got lucky & booked it through Priceline for $50 a night ($63 including tax & fees), the owner(?) wanted to charge me an extra $20 for 2 queen beds when I had called & asked if I could get 2 beds instead of a queen size bed, trippin'.
Overall I give this place three stars & it's only because the motel itself is clean & because there's a microwave

The room was clean. I was concerned when my room was right next door to the ice machine, the office, and the apartment for the Manager & family. Not a problem. My first night, I enjoyed a quiet comfortable deep sleep. Parking spaces are just outside The room & bathroom were clean. Weak Wi-Fi ;almost non-existent, Free coffee yuck. I needed a lot of coffee Sunday morning; the people in the next room were very rude. They woke me @ 12:00 am, and I had to call the manager to ask them to quiet down. Safe, clean, inexpensive. I would stay there

The worst night's sleep 140 dollars can buy. After driving and calling around for a room, I called Villa Motel and they had a room. I asked what their rates were and was told $125. I asked what it would be after tax, and I was again told $125. We reserve the room and drive 30 minutes over to the motel. We arrived tired at nearly 1am, and upon check in I was told that the price was $140 after tax. After a halfhearted, sleepy protest from me, I just paid it so I could go to sleep. She was also very nosey about what car we had, what we had in our trailer, etc. Nunya, Lady.

My girlfriend found this place on Priceline offering $49.99 for two persons, and even that felt like I was somewhat overcharged.
I'm kindof a stickler for being safe and secure, and the first thing I noticed was that the window in the bathroom would not lock, and there was no lock on the door to the bathroom. This wouldn't be a concern...if only I wasn't in a strange place nearly 250 miles from home. We managed to jury rig something with an umbrella that would keep the window from opening, but I slept very lightly.
I wouldn't stay here again - I would rather find a place

This motel was okay. It was clean and very simple. The staff was nice and very accommodating.
The downside is that the walls are paper thin. I can hear everything if the person is loud enough. I heard sneezing in the next room. I heard people laughing really loud with the TV blaring. I just slept with the TV on to drown out the sounds. If you're a light sleeper and noise bothers you, then this would not be the place for you. The pillows are thin. I could have rolled up the towels and it would have been thicker than the pillows.
But you get what you pay for and it is a very inexpensive

You know that when all cities between Santa Barbara and Carmel are sold out except for this place...there is much to be questioned. Nonetheless when money doesn't matter because there really are no options but this place and when you really cannot stay on the road another minute...you actually can catch a wink or two .
There'll be no hotel ratings in this place. Instead think of it as your good friend's friend offering you hospitality in a location convenient to everything so you don't need to rely on what they are offering!
