cons--parking tight for big vehicles, no room phone, no Bible, no fart fan in bath, no HBO that I could find. That's it and who cares. this old school motel is exactly the experience we were looking for and will come back. FYI the money you save on a $75/night take a walk to 1865 restaurant a block down the street

This was a very affordable and clean motel I found in SLO on my last night on the road. Thank you Jerry for your excellent customer service and warm personality! I’m sure I’ll be back!

This is a nice little motel operated by a local guy. The room was very nice. I appreciated the wood laminate floor instead of the typical old carpeting, and the small microwave and refrigerator were also nice features. The bed was fresh and very comfortable. Our host was also helpful in suggesting some great options for dinner places in town. There is some construction going on as they rebuild the office, but there was no noise at all, plenty of parking, and no inconvenience. I recommend this place to anyone staying in the SLO area.

Friendly and wonderful staff. Super clean rooms, great area. One of the cutest little underated family owned hotels in town. Great for if you are visiting cal poly for any reason. Close to plenty of groceries and convenience stores. Gino's across the street Frank's a bout a block down.

I'm reading through all the reviews and they are very good. This is why I chose to stay here for the weekend in SLO. Upon arrival I realized I made a bad mistake. Ugly, outdated room with a dirty floor that made your feet look black. I will say, everything else looked pretty clean except for the really stanky smell in the bathroom. Source unknown. The curtains were old, filthy, and had pinholes in them that let the light through. The only thing I agree with all the other reviews was the price was cheap. But you get what you pay for! They also charged my card before we got there. Upon check in the front desk guy didn't even check my ID. The room was also hot and stuffy and when you turned the window box fan on you felt like you were in a wind tunnel and the noise deafening.Needless to say, very disappointed. I've stayed in nicer places when I backpacked through Africa 20 years ago! Pay the extra $50 to $75 bucks to stay somewhere decent.

Stayed here for one night. Close to downtown SLO. The reception who I assume is the owner was very friendly, polite and helpful. He put me on to the farmer’s market which was a blast. Pretty decent for what it is - a motel. The room was cute and up to date. I like that my room had wood floors and not carpet. My issues: the bathroom could have been cleaner - the shower curtain was dirty and there were dirt spots in the shower and the sink. I also wish that there was an iron in the room. Nevertheless anyone looking for a low budget option, this motel is a decent choice.

We recommend the Sunbeam Motel if you are looking for a great place to stay in San Luis Obispo. We have always found it to be clean, and affordable. When you need a break the Sunbeam is perfect. The location, near Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is ideal. Take a walk to the nearby creek, or up the hill towards Foothill. And there is a coffee shop just a short distance away, fantastic for an early breakfast.

Excellent for the price point. No frills but the room still has a nice dresser and multiple lights. Room was clean and smelled great, which was our biggest concern. I saw some reviews about limited parking, but I went on a full night and there were 1-2 free slots, so I wouldn't worry. Overall 10/10 recommend. Seems like it's often booked out, so book early

Great affordable place to stay. You will hear traffic noise or neighbors walking up steps so you should bring earplugs. The room is small but the bed is comfortable enough. There's a blow dryer and fridge in room. The location is close to Rite Aid and Smart & Final.

Cute, clean, and comfortable. We hit a lot of traffic and were running quite late. Jerry called to say he was closing the office and would leave the room key in a lockbox. I told him we were at a dead stop by Gaviota and he was kind enough to look up the incident (we were in a dead zone) and let us know there was a bad accident in the tunnel. He offered late checkout since we would be getting in around midnight. Good shower, good towels, good heater, plenty of lighting alternatives. The inside of the microwave was dirty but otherwise this was a flawless, positive experience.
