Rose Garden Inn San Luis Obispo, San Luis Obispo

Our room had mold everywhere, the sheets were dirty, and someone had written "willy" in some sort of milky white something on the way. Staff did not care - do not stay here!!!

I was charged a higher rate than what I was quoted over the phone. The owner said it was a busy weekend and I could "take it or leave it". Since I was concerned with not finding another room...I took it. The room smelled funky. No coffee pot and no blow dryer. Also, the gardeners were using the leave blower right outside my window at 6:30 in the morning. Bad experience.

Service and employees were helpful and kind. Location was 5 minutes from Cal Poly. The value for the money was half of other hotels in the area. The room and bedding was clean with no stains. New carpet was nice. Bathrooms are in need of a update old & tired, Clean but black mold can be seen under wallpaper that was comming up.

The hallway smells; the room smells; the maintenance is poor; the ironing board when it was delivered after a 2nd request and 12 hours after the first request, was absolutely deplorable it looked like the cover had not been changed in 30 years. I was apprehensive prior to arrival after reading the other reviews, but did not express that apprehension to my family. The comments so far are those of my kids. Here's my comment: Management is mismanaging their property. Do yourself a favor. Book a room across the street where they leave the light on for you. Doing so is a huge step up in quality and comfort.

This was by far the worst experience I have ever had! First they lost my reservation and told me that they were booked and had no room to give me. Then she told me they do have a room but she couldn't rent it to me for the original price! They we rude and in no way accommodating! Rather then dealing with me and the fact THEY lost my reservation (which I had proof of) she kept pushing me aside to help other customers that walked through the door. When we first pulled up the building did look a little run down. When we walked into the lobby the first thing to notic was the horrible stench of mold and smoke...it felt very musty! In the end she chose not to rent to us because we "treated her with disrespect"!!! I was floored! We called Motel 6 right next door and stayed there. The room was cleen and fresh and the front desk was nice and helpful!

I stayed there for six weeks while working an outage at Diablo Canyon. It wasn't the most modern, up to date place I've ever stayed, but it was great for what it was. The room was always clean, fresh towels and sheets, fridge and microwave in the room, cable TV that worked, friendly staff. They had great weekly rates for the outage people. Two thumbs up.

Simply the worst motel I have ever set foot in. Upon entering the musty room, I noticed dirty carpet, and stained bedspreads. I removed the bedspreads before my children sat on them, but to my horror, even the blankets had, uh, 'exudate' and stains on them. We completely stripped the beds to prevent contact from other occupants body fluids. We nearly walked out and drove hours home right then and there. Stuck on a holiday weekend with plans the next day, we thought it could not get worse, but it did. We slept under the white sheets only because those were clean and smelled of bleach. The bathroom was bad too. No stopper in the sink. Missing tiles with moldy grout EVERYWHERE. Oh- and don't forget NO SHOWER NOZZEL, water squirted out of the pipe. Don't even dare try to flush anything other than urine in the toilet. Just don't. We kept smelling smoke in our non smoking room. Apparently the room above us was a smoking room, because the guest above our ground floor room was smoking and dropping still burning cigarette butts down in front of our door. Smoke was drifting under our door from the smoldering butts dropped there from upstairs. Don't bother complaining. Apparently the front desk has heard it all before. They don't ask how your stay was, they already know and don't care. We even paid a holiday rate of over $100 for that dump. We had difficulty sleeping with all the filth in that room and imagining all the. Just don't stay there. It is not worth a single dime. A truely horrible experience. Even my children were scared to be in such an aweful place

Any number of issue make this place not worth the high price they charge; sheets don't stay tucked in, there is no light at the entryway, the shower is only a fine cool mist, the formica vanity was damaged and not repaired, the shower was tile-damaged with a horribly amatuer repair. I tried to email management but their business cards list a dead email address. Would not return here on a bet or for free.

Very clean spacious room and suitable for a low cost place to stay. Bring earplugs because sound tends to travel through the walls. Great diner next door, Margie's.

We were only staying there for a day, but suprisingly this hotel was beautiful and the people were so great. I would stay here again!
