Fodor's Expert Review Hotel San Luis Obispo

Just a block from the mission and steps from restaurants, shops, and night spots, this sleek, three-story hotel has custom-furnished rooms with light wood floors, high ceilings, and either a private balcony or terrace—often with a view of the garden courtyard and mountains. Amenities include two restaurants, three bars (including one on the roof), a full-service spa with eight treatment rooms, pool, and fitness room.
