This motel is a second home for me and my girlfriend whenever she visits me while I’m at school. I greatly appreciate the warm kindness of Debra who runs the motel, she’s genuine.

We enjoyed our two-day stay. There isn’t enough handicap parking. There is only one handicap parking space and it’s used by the motel proprietor

We had a great one night stay here. We were pleasantly surprised by how big the room was (and high ceilings!) it felt very clean and well taken care of. Just one note that the headboard was a bit frayed/didn’t look great, but we try to stay away from them at hotels anyways while sleeping.
Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was pleasant with a nice spacious room. The staff person at check in was very helpful. The small dining table in the room was very much appreciated. I would be happy to stay again when visiting San Luis Obispo.

What a nice place to stay in SLO! The kind lady at the desk told us about the weekly Farmers Market in walking distance. It was fantastic! (Thursday nights) Villa Motel is directly across the street from The Hub which houses Central Coast Brewery and Krobar Distillery. Both wonderful and they have food trucks on site.
SLO is a great city, very walkable and friendly. Villa Motel is quaint and comfy. Would definitely stay again!

Older, but perfectly adequate
Perfectly adequate for a one night stop over. The hotel is older and could use some repairs outside. The room was clean, in good repair, and spacious. The staff was super nice. No problems.

The room we stayed in had a vaulted, open beam ceiling with finished wood. It was a simple room, but it was very very well maintained. It had a coffee pot, a very quiet heater and a lovely shower. We were checked in by a very sweet, older lady who walked us to our room and showed us how the TV and heater worked. We'll be back.
