If I loved writing negative reviews I would be quite bummed with this place, because EVERYTHING was…read moreAWESOME! The grounds, the room, the mattress, the staff, the food (did I mention the staff)? Just two things, neither will impact the stars. First, the HVAC above the bed and to the left was very loud. But it worked very well Turing on and off when it should. I don't believe there's anything they can do about this. The other is something they can do something about; For such an awesome place, the TV thing was, well, substandard. No, not the TV, the channel selection is extremely limited, and the remote? The guide would not come up, so you have to fumble one (limited) channel at a time to see what's on. Even better, there is no program description, so just be prepared for that. But as I stated it's not enough to take away from the overall awesomeness. I hesitated to book here because of the word "Quality" in the name (see my quality inn review). But this is not a Quality Inn, it's Quality Suites, so I had my fingers crossed. I try to stay in the Comfort Suites family of joints, to get the points (hey! that rhymes)! Well, I knew from the moment I entered the lobby (literally) this place has absolutely nothing else in common with that sack of ineptness with "Inn" in the name. Thank you!

For a one night stay this was perfect. It had the amenities we would need such as coffee maker,…read morerefrigerator and microwave. The room was clean and the bathroom as well. Very spacious room. The bed was comfortable and no creaking while turning in bed. There were no loud noises despite the room facing the pool and bbq area. Well lit walkways and rooms. The couch was clean and comfortable. They offer happy hour in the afternoon and a bbq dinner for purchase in the common area by the pool. Unfortunately was not able to avail any of those but they were available during our stay. Our stay also included a complimentary breakfast coupon that includes a choice of "the works" which is a breakfast platter of waffle, bacon, sausage and eggs OR a breakfast burrito. If those dont appeal to you there are other options such as bagels, muffins, toasts, fruits, yogurts with all the condiments of your choosing. There is a juice and coffee available as well. Great options. Check in was easy and smooth. No complaints whatsoever. Plenty of parking available as well and close to downtown. Would stay again! There is a resort fee on top of the nightly rate though so be aware of that when booking. I believe at our time of visit the resort fee was $25. I still think it was worth it for the comfortability of the room and conveniency of the location.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this awesome hotel on the Michelin Guide for hotels and who knew…read morelittle ole San Luis has a Michelin rated hotel! We checked in around 6pm on a week day and booked a fire place room (room 8). We had no issues checking in and I love how cozy the hotel is. It had a feel of a small, personal hotel which I loved over these big hotel chains. The price was also very fair per night. The room: extremely large and clean. I loved the fire place although it got pretty hot pretty quickly. This would be perfect for the winter! I liked it just because there's something about having a fire place that just makes the room much more cozy. Amenities: The hotel delivers breakfast every morning around 7am with local black coffee and two pastries. We were also very pleasantly surprised to see they have an EV charger. It's $2 per hour which is fair. Charges about 6kwH (even though the charger says 8kW per hour). The good thing is when the charges cut out occasionally, it didn't charge me for that time. Was able to charge fully on my Tesla Y from 10% to 80% for like $14. They also have local Kombucha which you can ask for at the front desk. You can also keep the bags that come with the breakfast which is an awesome momento! Feedback to the hotel: I didn't take any stars off because it's not really a negative but just something you can improve on. We did have really noisy guests next door some back late at night (likely inebriated) but the walls are extremely thin and you can hear everything even people just walking up the stairs to their rooms. It woke us up and made it hard to fall back asleep. We could also hear the laundry machines or something rumbling in the middle of the night as well. Moreover, the sink stopped draining in the bathroom which we told the front desk at checkout and they were appreciative of the feedback. Overall, my wife and I loved this hotel. the rooms were lovely and cozy. It was so awesome they had EV charges which saved me so much time having to run to a super charger. Service was amazing as well. Would definitely stay here again when visiting SLO.

We were…read moreimmediately seated in a plush and semi private booth near the door with curtains providing partial concealment. The space is dimly lit but wonderfully decorated and curated. We were helped initially by Austin, who is a very fun and interactive member of the Nightcap team. The drinks were carefully crafted and delivered with friendly banter from Austin. Later, we decided to head over to Granada Bistro on the other side of the hotel to to get a table for dinner. The host let us know all their tables were reserved but if we wanted to wait for about 30 minutes they would work to create some space for us. Meanwhile they offered to continue drink service for us in their waiting area. Next thing I knew we were being whisked back over to Nightcap and Austin was back letting us know that he'd be taking care of us and our dinner orders. He sat us right back in the corner booth we had before we left, even though it was busy at that time. The meals were delicious, the drinks heavenly, and the service prompt and cheeky, just the way we prefer it. Thank you Austin and Grenada for a wonderful evening. We will return.

Unfortunately, we had a terrible dinner at the Granada on Sat night. Even if they were just having…read morea bad night the food is way overpriced. There were 6 (?) entrees to choose from all from around $39 to $50. 2 ppl ordered scallops. It came with 4 scallops and they tried to fill the rest of the plate up with a tablespoon of the sauce. 2 had the pasta. It was undercooked, cold and with very little flavor. I had the Sea bass. It was a decent size and taste. We were all still hungry and luckily the roasted vegetables that I had ordered and we thought they forgot came late. They were very good. Desserts were ok, but again small slices for the price. I would not go back again. I gave a 2 because the Nightcap lounge is a great little place from a drink after dinner

Just off the 101 north heading towards SLO or Paso is the famous hotel, Madonna Inn. The last time I've visited the place we stayed in their Kona Rock Room. A fun caveman style room with boulders as the walls. Also the funky shower made out of rocks. The whole concept of rock room. Not just that, each room has a different theme so whatever mood you like, the place is your oyster. We stopped by just to show the property off to some friends who's never been but have alway wondered about the place. It's off the freeway so you won't miss it. The cute facade and the massive grassy knoll out front. Big decent size parking lot utilizes more for the restaurant as there's another lot heading towards the room. Of course everyone comes for the hotel but you can't miss the funky pink restaurant. A staples at the property. Let's say valentines on crack times 1000. It's funky but the cutest. It was closed when we arrived but I believe it's more for dinner. The cafe to the side was packed so that does get utilized often. There was a major line waiting for a table. You could walk through the restaurant to check it out. They were setting up the banquet room for a wedding reception happening later that day. Right when you walk into the restaurant, you're greeted with the pink room. Beautiful pink tufted booth similar to old school Vegas mob vibes but hot pink. Behind that is the bar with similar concept. A beautiful large stone fireplace situated in between the entrance and the bar area. There's a staircase that leads you upstairs to the shops. To the left is the main boutique with pretty much everything. Dresses, apparel, gifts, male and female clothing, costumes but really are gowns, shoes and so on. Cowboys vibes with a lot of the clothing. Some things are very eccentric but quite funky and cool. The more upscale of the boutique. The opposite side is where you find more of the souvenir and kids items as well as all the sweets and toys. There's also a cute little secret garden behind the property. Of course we happened to walk in while they were setting up for a wedding. It's nothing too crazy but a cute garden area with beautiful plants and colorful bold choices of colors growing. Of course the main focal piece, the cute lake right in the middle. Most wedding will take place near it. If you haven't been here, it's worth a stop and wander through. Grab a meal at the cafe if you fancy a more elegant night, dinner in the main pink room. If you get a chance to stay at the property, the many funky rooms to choose from. It's a cute and fun place that's a staples in California. Everyone knows about the Madonna Inn. Love it. Guess I'll need to make another weekend trip here to utilize the hotel again as it's been way too long.

I would LOVE to send my out-of-town visitors here on recommendation, but don't feel like I want to be embarrassed in that way. The food is not good. Last time I went, I stared for about 20 minutes at the menu looking for *anything* i wanted to eat. I'm not a big meateater, and I realize it's a steakhouse, but every other good steakhouse I've been to has absolutely amazing ALL the other options, veggie sides, veggie options, variety of seafood. Madonna *could* do this, so why do they continue choosing not to. I settles on a portabello mushroom. I didn't like it. I just connected with a friend on Facebook who said it perfectly: "It was SO BAD when I was there. Soggy portabella mushrooms stuffed with unflavored bread and supposedly herbs but I doubt it based on the flavor profile, limp steamed vegetables, and unflavored polenta cakes. Not even salted. Seriously dog food." And I realized this was my exact experience, and it's prompting me to write this review. You don't have to be vegetarian to like veggies. DO BETTER Madonna.

It looked super cute, but it seemed unconventional. I might be okay with it, but would my husband be? (The answer is yes- we loved it!) There are six rooms. It is self check-in. It used to be an auto repair garage. I can attest that everything in the photos look just as lovely if not even better in person. I booked a room exactly a month in advance. Everything truly was done electronically. The access code to the hotel and room is emailed and texted to you. I have to say that I loved not having to grab a key to put in my pocket every time I walked out. We had our pup with us, so we took quick relief trips outside. I didn't have to worry about getting locked out. When you walk in, you immediately notice the different art pieces placed around the hotel. There are also paintings in the rooms. There are two bicycles near the front door for you to use (I'm assuming, but we didn't utilize them). Everything was immaculately clean -- everything in our room & bathroom and the shared kitchen and lounge space. There is hand sanitizer in the shared spaces as well as a hand soap by the kitchen sink. The soap and shampoo brands are great quality. There are extra blankets in your room as well as in the lounge (I noticed them neatly folded in a basket. I was up early Sunday morning to take my dog out for a walk. I came back to make myself a cup of coffee w/ the coffee and individual French presses provided. This is when I met Kelly, manager of the Butler Hotel. In a word, she's fantastic. She is friendly, kind, and truly made our stay even more special. I mentioned that it was our 20 year anniversary. Later that day when we got back to our room, there was a small bottle of champagne, glasses, caramels, and a sweet note wishing us a happy anniversary. On the weekends, they bring in fresh baked pastries from The Splash Cafe, which is directly across the street. In the afternoons, there is complimentary wine. We stayed in Room 1, which is the first room to the left. It was comfortable and the size was great. I think it's one of the bigger rooms, according to the website. The bathroom, in my opinion, was large. It had the ADA roll-in shower with an adjustable height and removable shower head. I read that there were complaints about the noise, but we didn't experience loud noise from the street nor from within the hotel. We could tell there was another dog next door, but it wasn't noisy in our opinion. For anyone worried about no on-site staff, do not worry! I accidentally knocked over a glass in our room. Kelly leaves her phone number if you need anything. In that instance, she offered to come right away, but we opted to wait until we left for the day to have it vacuumed. Can you tell by the length of this review that we loved our stay? Lol

Luckily, the safe guard kept him from coming all the way in. 2. The bathroom shower's over head hardly has any water pressure.
