Kaleidoscope Inn and Gardens, Nipomo

My wife and I booked at this hotel because it came up under a search for San Louis Obispo Hotels; however it's about 20 miles outside of SLO on the other side of Pismo. 1. The first sign that this was a bad decision was the first second we drove up. This B&B is not located in any sort of scenic area by any means, something you will not see in pictures. In fact, it is located smack in the middle of a middle-lower class residential area, directly across from some low-rent apartments. If we were not going to be charged with an extra nights stay, we would have driven off without setting foot inside. Hey at least there's a community liquor store a block away, so you can always pick up a bottle of Thunderbird to fit in. 2. The reservation company assured my wife that the room we reserved had a private bathroom in the room. Well it did have a private bathroom, but it was located up the hall. My wife was very specific about wanting a bathroom in the room. Had we been told the truth about this, we would not have stayed. Had we not been charged before we saw the room, we would have left. 3. The residential neighborhood in which this B&B is located has everything you would expect from a residential neighborhood: Dogs, Harley Davidson’s, Peacocks. Bring ear plugs. 4. Apparently the B&B did not bill us correctly for our stay and decided to withdrawal an extra nights stay from spending account without permission a month later. After much pain and a horribly unprofessional email from the owner (that blamed us for not ensuring they charged us correctly), they finally refunded the $35 overdraft fee that was assessed to our account from their unauthorized charge.
