I was traveling in for an afternoon event and called days in advance to see if early check in was possible so I could dress in the room. Over the phone I was told it wouldn’t be an issue, and while they couldn’t guarantee in advance, that they would make a note in my reservation and if something came up, there would at least be a space on the property where I could dress and drop my bags. When I arrived and asked politely about early check in, I was treated so rudely by the front desk staff. It was frankly the rudest I’ve ever been treated by a hospitality staffer. I was not allowed to finish a sentence, and was told under no condition could I check in, get dressed, or even drop my bag. I don’t mind not being able to accommodate a request, that is merely inconvenient, but the rudeness with which I was treated was completely unacceptable.

The room was not as advertised at all. Had a full bed instead of a queen, the AC unit had no knobs on it to adjust and it was unplugged. I had to plug it in to turn on and then no adjustments were possible. No screen on the window. Homeless looking man just hanging out in the parking lot. There was a very small TV but no cable hooked up even though there was a cable box. I tried to call the front desk but, surprise! the room phone didn't work either. We could not leave fast enough.

Bed was great, room was big and clean, bathroom big and clean. Air Conditioning didn't work, desk chair was broken, bed lamp and desk lamp broken, coffee supplied with no coffee maker. Went to soothe sore muscles after a peak hike and the Hot tub was broken.

I read the previous reviews and was skeptical of making the reservation. The pricewasright for 2 nights, however on checking in the 1st room weweregiven was not cleaned. 2nd room, theA/C did not work. The 3rd room was a handicapped room and was fine. Very big. However, when we showered in the tub, it did not drain. The next morning there was still waterin the tub. I leave early in the morning and there is no staff until 6 am. So I called in with the issue. They graciously gave us another room for the 2nd day. However, the next 3 rooms did not have a working A/C. Finally on the 4th room, it worked. It does not appear any maintenance is being done on the rooms and they are in bad shape. The staff was pleasant and helpful. But the condition of the property is bad. At least the 6 rooms we could not stay in. And, on my way to the 2nd floor, the elevatored stopped suddenly. Now no working elevator for the rest of the stay. I am working in the area, but will not be booking a room there. So, I experienced most of the things that other reviews mention. Just be aware if you book a room, you may to to keep changing to get one that is fully functioning.

- overpriced for the value of room quality - no breakfast was offered except unlabeled plastic packaged highly refined bland muffins and scones were not worth picking up. - the man at the desk was excessively talkative despite a line of people waiting. He even offended the nice couple in front of me by not listening to what they said and implying the back building across the street is a much lesser building despite the couple clearly stating that is where they usually choose to stay there and were fine with it. The desk man went on to say next time they could pay a bit more to stay in the nice main building which is way nicer instead of the worse back building. - the woman at the desk in morning was helpful and kind.

The room I was given wasn’t in the main building but a second property behind the main building across the street. The room I had was not cared for: bedding was worn, had stains and holes. The pillows weren’t pillows. The bathroom had water blisters on the ceiling. Staff didn’t seem to be happy working at the Inn. It was kind of depressing. The Inns location was between Cal Poly and the main downtown.

After checking in went into room and saw bed unmaid, used coffee cups on table, shower dirty with towels on floor. Receptionist said it has happened often where housekeeping say room is clean when its not. Got room upgraded and 2nd room was dirty as well (bathroom). Ended up leaving and paying double for another hotel as it was move in week for CalPoly. (Why we were there).
