My wife and I booked this hotel mainly because of the excellent reviews that I saw posted on TripAdvisor. The purpose of our trip was a relaxing, romantic, three-day trip to San Luis Obispo and San Luis Creek Lodge couldn't have been a better place to stay! We were pleasantly greeted by the hotel staff upon arriving and given the option to choose what building in which we wanted to stay. All three were excellently appointed and decorated in a unique theme. We fell in love with the Londonderry in particular and stayed there for 2 nights. Coming back from a recent trip from London, I must say that the rooms were completely in the Tudor style and showed much attention to detail. Above all, the hardware, beds, bathrooms etc. all reflect good quality and choice. The bathrooms are all very nice, displaying beautiful tile, sinks etc. As other reviewers noted, the customer service at this hotel is excellent. You get a good sense of a cozy "bed and breakfast" combined with a feel of the quality found at larger hotel chains. The staff was more than happy to suggest ideas on wine touring, good beaches, maps and more!
I don't think you could stay anywhere in SLO with better quality for the amount of money you'll be spending here. Embassy suites is much more expensive and offers none of the 'character' and design found at this hotel.
I will however mention a few minor points that can be improved at this hotel. The bed comforter/blankets are in good style but should should be washed more frequently. We found a few "suspicious" marks but who knows? The bed/pillows are not Sheraton quality and could use slight upgrading to make this a perfect hotel. We could hear a child running around upstairs after 9 in the morning (we like to sleep in!) which was annoying but not really the fault of the hotel's I suppose. Lastly, my wife pointed out that the hair dryer was quite outdated so be sure to bring you own.
Even with these small disappointments, I would recommend this hotel to all my family and friends.
I haven't stayed at the Apple Farm but it seems like this is also a better choice, particularly for the value.
Stay here!
