What guests think

At Hampton Inn & Suites San Luis Obispo, travelers frequently praise clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a satisfying hot breakfast, alongside a convenient location near US-101 that makes reaching downtown SLO and nearby beaches straightforward.

Many guests also appreciate the pet friendly approach, easy parking, and a decent gym. A recurring negative is the indoor pool being closed for renovation or out of service, and some guests report check-in delays or overbooking, occasional freeway or HVAC noise, and sporadic housekeeping or maintenance issues. Expect a clean, convenient stay with friendly service, but confirm pool status and room location if those matter.

A nice place to stay with friendly staff and decent breakfast. The gym was nice as well and not an afterthought as in many other hotels. Elevators were fast and parking was easy. Convenient location as well. Semi near Whole Foods and other stores.

We were very disappointed with the stay because of the entire pool area being closed for service. We chose this hotel based on the pool and jacuzzi and were shocked to find it was closed. The front desk told me that they told Expedia is was closed or not in service however on Expedia website it states the indoor pool is open. I feel we should get a refund from Expedia for our stay because it was false advertising and deceptive to list pool as an amenity when it had been closed for repair. Expedia was notified by the Hampton inn but did not remove pool from the list of hotel features. Hilton Hampton inn states they notified the company Expedia. We would not have stayed here if we had known there was no pool. We feel Expedia should refund us for our stay due to their false advertising. Our family is disappointed with our stay here and feels that we should be refunded due to this issue. Hampton inn employee told us that it states pool closed on their website. Expedia needs to have all updated information for customers to make a good choice for their vacation. False advertising and misleading information. We specifically booked this hotel for the pool! Will never use Expedia again.

The hotel is conveniently located near US-101 and it took us less than 10 minutes to get to downtown San Luis Obispo. The room was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was surprisingly good with waffle machines and great coffee. Free parking was nice too as some hotels in the area charge for parking.

Stayed one night since we were meeting friends for a hike in Montana De Oro State Park. Convenient location right off the highway. Plenty of safe, well lit parking. It is in an area with other similar hotels plus gas stations and shopping and restaurants very close by. The hallways were brightly lit and clean, the elevators were fast and our double queen room was sparkling clean with comfortable beds, plenty of pillows and easy and quiet temperature controls. The complimentary breakfast was above and beyond what I was expecting. There were hot food offerings, oatmeal, a waffle station, cold cereal, breakfast bread and a juice bar. You cannot go wrong with this hotel. I would stay here again. I love the Hampton/Hilton Brand.

Hot water is available all day (a big plus), across the check-in desk, if you wanted to make a cup of tea. 4. It’s nice that they always have someone at the front desk (for convenience and for security). Overall a pleasant stay!

When i checked in around 9:30pm, they had overbooked for the hotel so they sent me to TownePlace Suites in the same area. Check in was fast and staff/service at both hotels were great. Thank you for accommodating me during this stay.

Property condition & facilities is good. Cleanliness, staff service and service was also okay. However, there was not a room available upon our check-in time. We were told that there would be a room available in 30 min. The 30 min passed and we were informed that it'll take another 45 min wait time. This was very disappointing considering we got to the hotel little after 7 p.m. and to be told there was no room available for us. Our kids were exhausted and tired by the time we got to the hotel. The wait time seemed forever in the lobby. Absolutely unacceptable.

I then arrived there an hour and a half earlier than my scheduled check in and was not able to check in early but said they would have a room ready in an hour. I left and came back an hour later and there was no room ready. Finally, an hour after my scheduled check in, I was able to check in

Got them re-keyed. 45 minutes later got in. In the meantime I asked for a refund, they said they couldn't do that because I went through a 3rd party, which is you. So, what are you going to do to make this right?

The room was comfortable and unremarkable. We slept well, the AC was great, no strange smells. The room fridge didn't get cold enough, so ended up using our Igloo and the ice machine; the pool was closed for renovation which was a bummer when traveling with kids. The highlight was the breakfast with the waffle maker and toppings. The eggs, sausage, potatoes and is the heat and serve types sold to hospitals/hotels. We didn't mind and the kids looked forward to it. They subtly changed the menu each day e.g. omelette, scramble, patty sausage, sweet portugese, which was unexpectedly fun.

Not thrilled with a few things. We always book pool hotels so to find out it is out of commission and has been for a long, long time is incredibly disappointing, as it wasn't stated when booking. Our AC doesn't work properly. Have to set it to 60 to come on at night to cool off the stuffy room. There is a 5 inch crack in the bathtub which creaks when you're standing in it. I wonder what damp mold is underneath it. The bathroom feels dirty. The breakfast is the worst I've ever experienced at any hotel I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. Stuff that was out wasn't refilled fast enough and the area felt dirty. The food itself, can only be described as sad. Charging $5 each for a bottle of soda and water is extortionate. Our first Hampton inn experience, and our last. 0/5 if I could, but staff was good and none of the above appeared to be their fault. How on earth they have a 8.8/10 is beyond me. They must be paying for good reviews.
