Sunbeam Motel, San Luis Obispo (CA) - Deals & Reviews

This place suits me perfectly with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, express check-in, and no smoking on site. The staff provided great directions to attractions during my first stay. Highly recommend it! I’m coming back for Christmas.

Super clean and charming place! The owner’s enthusiasm shines through, making it a cozy spot with lots of light and a lovely breeze. Loved the helpful vibe—it felt like a mini-retreat without the hefty price tag.

But if you’re looking for five-star luxury, you might just be disappointed it’s not a palace! Could use a little more attention—my bathroom could’ve used a friend or two to help it sparkle!

The rooms here are surprisingly clean and look like they've had a recent paint job. For $122 a night, I found the amenities, like the fridge and microwave, sufficient for my overnight needs—an unexpected perk for this price range.

it felt a bit chaotic. The bathroom sink in my room was completely clogged, which was a pain, and the coffee maker was missing its lid, making morning caffeine a challenge. While the location was reasonably close to downtown, the noise from traffic on the main road was a bit bothersome at night.

Our stay at the Sunbeam Motel felt like a delightful reunion with an old friend. From the moment we checked in, it was as if we entered a sitcom where the quirky yet charming characters are the hospitable staff. Our room was cozy and equipped with a mini-fridge, coffee maker, and microwave, serving as our trusty sidekicks during our short visit. Just minutes away from both Cal Poly and serene downtown, it was as convenient as stashing your favorite snacks in your old college dorm!

No major complaints.

Charming room, friendly staff, with a clean atmosphere that includes fast Wi-Fi and free parking, making it perfect for quick getaways and conveniently located just 6 km from the nearest airport.

Nothing could be improved.

I arrived late after a long drive and was welcomed by a friendly manager who made check-in easy. My room was clean and comfortable. It had a mini-fridge for drinks. The motel is a short walk to restaurants and shops. One downside was the noise from the freeway nearby, but I brought earplugs and it worked out. My relationship with road trips makes me appreciate a good stopover like this.

I arrived late after a long travel day and was welcomed by a friendly manager who made check-in easy. The coffee maker in my room needed a lid, but I managed to get my morning cup.

The bed was squeaky and there was some inconsistency with the heating.
