TRAVELODGE SAN LUIS OBISPO

A great little hotel with comfortable beds, good breakfast, friendly staff and close to CalPoly SLO. There is covered parking, good internet and a very nice restaurant next door.

The La Quinte by Wyndham San Luis Obispo (SLO) is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for an accomodation in this town. Situated at the principal street, Monterey street, one can visit the city center right on foot. Great car park behind the hotel, too. The (complementary) breakfast was OK/good, so was the gym. Latter actually, was really nice! My room was spacious and very clean, liked it! Staff at the reception has also been very helpful, supportlive and friendly throughout my short stay👍 Overall, thank you so much!

My stay started off with the unpleasant surprise that there is a fee for parking at the location. This is a ridiculous charge considering that SLO is a small town and feels like a money grab at the expense of the guest. The location was a long way from downtown, the room was small and cramped which for 210 dollars a night was not a good value. The hotel was loud with a lot of ambient hall and room noise from all sides and at all hours of the night. The front desk associate did not make eye contact and did not seem welcoming and kept referring to me as "My friend" especially after giving me the surprise that there would be a parking fee. The only hotel staff that made eye contact and seemed interested in making my stay a good one were the Hispanic support staff who always greeted me with a smile and asked if they could assist me with any needs I might have. Even though I've been a long standing member of Wyndham resorts I felt that I wasn't valued as a repeat customer in this location. Because of the front desk and management staff looking through me with a tolerant air instead of being welcoming and engaged with me the hotel and Wyndham corporation failed to adequately appreciate me as a repeat customer. With the exception of the Hispanic support staff I was basically ignored throughout my stay. The only thing that was a positive about this location was the breakfast which was well above average. Wyndham was always my go-to accommodations both in the US and abroad until they started to value corporate policies over customer service. Their locations which were always well kept and clean have now become a mishmash of the good, the bad, and the ugly. The last experience I had with the La Quinta hotel in Central Point Oregon was an awful experience of bullet holes in the ceiling of the room mixed with people in the parking lot using IV drugs and camping out on the property to the point where I didn't feel safe taking my dog out at night to take care of his business. When I complained to Wyndham corporate I was referred to the location owner who refunded me 10 percent and told me to shove off. When I went back to corporate I got the shrug and "Oh well. There's nothing we can do" routine. It left such a bad taste in my mouth I booked my vacation to Mexico with the competition. This stay was my first since that experience and given the negative nature of my stay I won't be booking with Wyndham again.
