SLO downtown hotel gem

Nicely up-dated room with everything functioning in good order. Front desk helped us extend our stay and provided map with dining recommendations. We breakfasted at House of Bread just across street. Walked or bused from Marsh & Archer into downtown SLO, enjoying Mission, Art Museum, History Ctr, and abundant shopping, plus Thursday night Farmers' Market.
