We booked this stay through AAA and also used our Hilton Honors points. At check-in, we were…read moresurprised to be charged an additional $70 deposit that wasn't clearly explained beforehand. Unfortunately, our stay was filled with several maintenance and service issues. The elevator felt unsafe, the doors opened before the elevator had fully reached the floor, which was concerning. About an hour after checking in, we went to the pool. There was only one other guest there, but the towel rack was completely empty. Thankfully, we had brought our own towels. A staff member later came out to restock them. The pool itself was okay, although there were quite a few bugs in the water. The jacuzzi looked like it needed maintenance or a fresh coat of paint because it appeared greenish-brown, and there were no umbrellas or shade available around the pool. When we returned to our room, our key card had stopped working. We had to call the front desk from my personal phone, and a staff member kindly brought us a new key. We appreciated his prompt help. However, after returning from dinner later that evening, our key card stopped working again. The room also needed better upkeep. The shower tub had visible stains that made it appear unclean. The ice machine on our floor was out of service, so we had to go to the lobby for ice. We also noticed curtain rods left on the floor, which made the hallway look unfinished and poorly maintained. The staff members we interacted with were courteous and helpful, especially the employee who restocked the pool towels and assisted us with our room keys. However, the number of maintenance issues and inconveniences made this stay disappointing. For the price we paid, we expected a much better experience. Unfortunately, we ran into several issues during our stay that made it difficult to feel the value matched the cost. While there were aspects that were disappointing, we did appreciate being able to check out late, and the pet-friendly accommodations were a definite plus. Those conveniences were helpful, but overall, the number of issues we encountered outweighed the positives.

My 28 year old self, athletic and adventuresome, would love this place so much…read more First, the staff (Alyssa on the front desk) is wonderful and represents the Hilton brand so well. The space at reception is bright, with a great minimal decor and plenty of light. There is a gym and a pool and many rooms on the lower level get a small patio with Adirondack chairs facing a fountain or the pool. There is a sweet cafe on the upper level and parking is good. Right off Fourth Street exit from 101 I cannot complain. Gas stations and shops are a couple of blocks away. My 76 year old self, accompanied by my husband, a stroke survivor using a wheeled walker, find the weird configuration of the building to be a challenge. ****See my notes and suggestions on the safety/ADA features below. If you enter on the rear parking lot level, there is a lengthy walk from the disabled parking spots. You have to enter through the second floor from the pool area or walk around the back near the dog/pet park where there is no sign, through a door using your key card to see the first floor. The third floor and fourth floor (lobby and snack shop) are also accessible by two elevators, referred to as the North and South elevators. We managed to get in thousands of steps just maneuvering the sign-free environment. Being the only one of us capable of carrying bags, I used up all my unsavory words in the first two hours. Thank goodness my husband is stable enough with his rollator walker to be able to sit in the room while I hiked my way around making observations about how to Hansel and Gretel my way back to him after pulling our gear out of the car. I really like our room which is on the ocean side of the second floor. (The entire hotel is east of the freeway, and on the hill overlooking the sea a bit.) Beds are nice, lights and charger plugs plentiful. There is a desk and a nice upholstered chair. I feel the room is clean. Closet and bathroom area are spacious. You will see iron, hairdryer, Keurig coffee setup and towels. No icky tiny soap bars but much cleaner dispensers for hand soap and lotion. Same for the shower with shampoo, body wash and conditioner. Seriously, I would choose the configuration of this very spacious room anywhere. We were in need of a shower chair for my husband and the desk had a fantastic maintenance man install one. The experience is good for the most part, but be sure to call them with safety questions if you are a caregver. I could have done my due diligence too. The bathroom has no grab bar for the low toilet. There is only one grab bar but it is at the opposite end from faucet and shower head. I have to either let my husband sit very low on the tub edge (this is not a walk-in shower) AND- the shower is enclosed only by a soft curtain- there is no shower door for added stability, either. So I would have to have my husband stand and hold the grab bar with two hands while I wash him - but there is nothing to grab onto with his wet hands... definite no!! I decided to have him sit on the toilet lid to wash with the nearby sink that is in the toilet area to avoid injury. I would rather have a secure bathroom to avoid incidents than a free ADA parking permit, Mr. Hilton. ****Notes to self and to you especially if you have a special needs elderly traveler: Call the hotel as soon as you decide to visit, and request the following: ---Ask for a room close to the elevators and not down a long corridor. ---Request ADA parking which is free if you have an ADA parking placard. (Even if you are not able to secure one of the 4 or so designated spaces you should benefit from that privilege. --/When you arrive, as the driver, walk around the property and if you were given any complicated room assignment vis a vis long corridors or distance to parking or elevators, change your room. This may not be possible if you haven't asked up front for a convenient location. ---Bring a shower chair. Be prepared to set up a secure bathing experience to avoid accidents. I get so frustrated that corporations like to sound ecologically responsible when they cut so many housekeeping jobs and tell you there are no daily services. Pffft we see you, Hiltons. If I gave you some useful information and avoided frustration and injury, my job is done. Three stars for Alyssa who is an amazing staff member and the maintenance worker.

I am writing this review because I believe other guests should know about my experience at the…read moreGarden Inn in San Luis Obispo. I stayed at this hotel from August 23rd through August 29th. Unfortunately, what should have been a pleasant stay was overshadowed by an extremely disrespectful and upsetting encounter with a housekeeper named Mary L. I politely asked Mary if she could please provide tissues and toilet paper because these basic supplies had not been replenished in our room. Instead of simply helping me, she became confrontational and insisted that she had already left the supplies. When I told her that she had not, she then said that she remembered leaving the supplies in the room next door instead. She then handed me a box of tissues and two rolls of toilet paper in a very rude manner. I told her politely that I only needed one roll. She gave it to me with an extremely unpleasant attitude. As I was walking back into my room, I heard her loudly say, "What a fucking bitch." I was stunned. I have never been treated this way by a hotel employee, especially when I was simply requesting basic items that should have been available in my room. I am a senior citizen and a paying guest. I was not asking for anything unreasonable, and there was absolutely no justification for an employee to insult me in this manner. What made the situation even more concerning was that we had previously seen this same housekeeper entering rooms without knocking on more than one occasion. After being treated so aggressively, I became very uncomfortable knowing that she had access to guest rooms and, therefore, to guests' personal belongings. I immediately told my daughter what had happened. We were preparing to leave for Pismo Beach, and she encouraged me to report the situation to management because she was also concerned about our privacy and belongings. To be clear, this review is NOT about a missing roll of toilet paper. It is about basic respect, professionalism, privacy, and the way a paying guest was treated by an employee who has access to hotel rooms. Guests should not have to worry about being insulted for politely requesting supplies. They should also feel confident that their privacy will be respected when they are inside their rooms. I sincerely hope hotel management takes this complaint seriously and addresses this employee's conduct. Employees who interact with guests and have access to occupied rooms should be held to a high standard of professionalism and respect. This experience left me feeling humiliated, disrespected, and uncomfortable. Based on what happened, I would not recommend this hotel and would strongly encourage management to review what occurred and take appropriate action. If you are considering staying here, I hope management addresses these concerns so that other guests do not have a similar experience.

Oxford Suites markets itself as a quality family hotel. This is not it. Also, be careful in the bathtub. Just an exposed screw sticking out. With young children this is a genuine safety hazard. Between the dirty bedding and broken bathroom fixtures, this room was clearly not inspected before check-in. The front staffs were amazing, but I don't think we'll come back to this place

The room was very clean, and the hotel itself was well maintained. One thing to note is that the bathrooms have an open concept shower, so water can splash onto the floor.

It isn't a huge selection, but with so many stores nearby, it wasn't an issue. They offer on site parking for a fee, which was convenient, and one of my favorite features was the rooftop area it's a great place to relax, eat, and enjoy the atmosphere.

I booked a room before reading reviews because it was part of the American Express "Hotel Collection." Usually, I don't worry about issues since they promote it. We stayed in room 205. I chose it because it was far from the elevator and on the opposite side of the street from the nightclub. Little did I know, we were actually right above the lobby kitchen. On our first morning, my wife said it sounded like they were doing maintenance because it was so loud, I was dead asleep! On the second night, we were woken around 5am to music so loud I could make out the words. At first, I thought, "maybe it's the bar across the street and they should be closing soon," since I thought it was still before 2am since the blinds were closed. I was wrong the music kept going. Eventually, I couldn't stand it anymore and got up, realizing it was almost 6am!!! I got up and followed the sound. Using the stairs next to my room, I found the music coming from inside the kitchen right below us. I went in and saw no one there! I went around the building through the front door and found no one there, I used the kitchen door by the lobby to see if I could spot an employee, but there was no one. When I turned back towards the lobby, the front desk attendant was returning and asked if I needed help. I told him, "Yes, turn the music down! It's 6am!" I went back to my room, but I was already awake. I could still hear it, though not as loud. Management should do a better job of enforcing quiet hours; this should not be a free-for-all, especially as the price wasn't cheap. I will not be returning to this property. My wife said, "this is the loudest hotel we've ever stayed at!" We did enjoy the beach chairs, bikes and happy hour up on the roof. Bartender service up there, not so much. Not a good choice on a wedding anniversary trip.

When I asked about room availability, the front desk agent told me there were no rooms available. However, while standing there, I checked Marriott's website and found multiple rooms available to book immediately. When I pointed this out, she claimed the online booking inventory didn't match the hotel's actual inventory, which made no sense and felt dishonest. Rather than trying to help resolve the situation, she came across as patronizing, offering unnecessary explanations about hotel hours as if that addressed the issue. The interaction felt dismissive from start to finish. To make matters worse, she offered a 2:00 p.m. late checkout because I'm a Marriott Bonvoy Platinum member, but then made a point of telling me she was not offering the 4:00 p.m. late checkout because she wasn't required to honor that benefit for Bonvoy members. It felt unnecessarily confrontational and came across as though she wanted to emphasize what she didn't have to do rather than provide good hospitality. Great hotels are remembered for exceptional service, especially when something doesn't go as planned. Unfortunately, this experience was the opposite. I've stayed at many Marriott properties, and this was one of the poorest customer service experiences I've encountered. I hope management reviews how guests are treated, because no one should leave feeling dismissed and misled.
