We stayed at the Avenue Inn in San Luis Obispo for one night. Overall, everything was excellent — the room was clean, comfortable, and well-kept. The only downside was the noise from the guests upstairs; it sounded like they were stomping around, which made it a bit hard to relax. Otherwise, we had a great stay and would definitely consider coming back.
