The hotel offers unique and interesting room styles, but my accommodation experience fell short, leading me to leave early. The staff, although generally friendly and accommodating, sometimes displayed a little attitude. The location, though peaceful and lovely, might require a car for convenience. The dining experience was a mix of delicious meals and slow service. Overall, an intriguing but not ideal stay.

The hotel has a convenient location close to downtown SLO and a few beaches, nestled by serene hills. The rooms were pitch black and a little creepy, up two flights of stairs, but service was very friendly and attentive at check-in and the restaurant. The dining experience was a vast improvement with delicious options at the Copper Pot. Good value for money overall.

The hotel rooms were immaculately clean and well taken care of; each one uniquely themed, promising a memorable stay. While on the small side, perfect for a brief visit, the coziness was inviting. The service was top-notch, hospitable from the moment we arrived, making every interaction enjoyable. The location, with stunning views and unique Tyrolean touches, provided a relaxing retreat after a day of adventures. The dining experience, though bustling, offered excellent fare across the hotel's areas, with a minor hiccup of food arriving slightly cold. Overall, a charming hotel with a pleasant ambiance and delightful service.

Our stay was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms, although fun with a rock shower, felt more like basic 1950s motel rooms and were cramped for four people. The staff at the Cafe were incredibly friendly and helpful, showing continuous improvement over the years. The location, while beautiful with great views, required a car due to being a bit isolated. The dining experience was lacking variety and cleanliness needs improvement. Overall, the value for money was decent but could be better.

The hotel offers fun rooms that are very dated and somewhat dingy. While the separate room setup exceeded my expectations from the photos, the overall ambiance was dark, facing a poorly vegetated hillside with peeling paint columns.

The service was friendly and welcoming, with a nice gesture of a gift basket and champagne in the room. However, there could be more focus on improving room-related services.

The hotel's location right in front of the freeway exit was convenient for easy access. The terraced building layout, although a few hundred yards from the reception, provided a quiet retreat conducive to relaxation.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms definitely need some love and attention, but they were amazing overall with a huge bed and plenty of space. The bathroom was sparkling and colorful, though lacking counter space. The service left much to be desired, with staff being disrespectful and rude, almost like robots reciting rules. The location was a surprising gem with beautiful landscaping and access to various amenities, though not a luxury resort by any means. Dining was a pleasant surprise, and the facilities were decent.

Staying at this hotel was a unique experience with wacky rooms that have everything you need, but be cautious of noise if you're under a deck. The service was incredibly helpful and lovely, making my stay enjoyable. The location was nice and easy to access, although being next to a main road was a downside. The dining was good, but timing and temperature of the food could be improved. Overall, a quirky stay with some highlights and drawbacks.
