The Kinney San Luis Obispo

Comfortable place to stay. Cute restaurant on site.

Not what I had hoped for. Hotel location was ok, but the room was poorly located in the rear of the hotel--way in the back with a view of a wall. Disappointing!! Pool was very good, and the service was good.

Walked in to funny sewage-type smell in lobby/main desk area, this didn't go away during our stay. Our room did not have a functioning air conditioner (which the hotel already knew about when they gave us the room, but did not mention it). This was ok because the room cooled down over night, but I thought it was seedy to assign us a room without it though we made our purchase online for a room that included air-conditioning. The price is outrageous for what you get, but this expected for SLO. It wouldn't be my first, second, third, or fourth choice for hotels in the area, but my fault for not booking sooner and everything else was booked solid.

Very friendly and helpful staff a wonderfully updated property. On the downside the hotel is not pet friendly.
