Highly Recommend Avenue Inn

Highly recommend the Avenue Inn - it's quiet, comfortable and very close walking distance to the downtown. I appreciate Jesse's friendliness and recommendations when checking in.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rain forest shower head is a nice touch but there’s not enough room in the shower to move out of the way for a second.
Doug, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable and clean

Clean and comfortable place, very near to downtown, and right off the freeway, which is very convenient. Our room had two beds, so space was a little tight, but that is ok. The bathroom is renovated and very nice. The room had a refrigerator and a microwave, which we appreciate as we always travel with our own food. We'd stay here again.

Melissa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid!

The room had a horrible smell. Largely unidentifiable, but something between a cleaning agent and mold. The walls are thin, as is the ceiling, and we were awakened several times by guests above and beside us. Extremely tiny rooms.
Mitch, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice accommodations, clean, reasonable, and quiet location even though it’s one of the main streets in SLO. Definitely will stay there next time I’m in town.
