Honestly the best hotel stay we’ve had. The staff was so welcoming and the hotel is very cozy. The bed was so comfortable and a nice clean bathroom. There’s hors d’oeuvres a drink and an excellent breakfast all included and free parking which made the stay extra special. We will 100% come back to stay.

Beautiful
This is a beautiful little boutique hotel, close enough to downtown SLO. Loved everything.
Only one small fault: breakfast was included and super yummy, expect for the coffee: bitter and too acidic. My suggestion: upgrade to Bulletproof Coffee! Thank you!

Loved this place! Super convenient/walking distance to downtown, super easy check in and out, fairly priced, super friendly/helpful staff, and just really cute! Love the boutique vibe. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres/drink hour each evening & breakfast each morning was a bonus. They also allow pets which is awesome! Will definitely stay here again when we’re back in SLO!!

We had a great stay at Petit Soleil! The staff is really friendly and they had an amazing aperitif hour (free class of wines, beers, snacks, and charcuterie!) and a great included breakfast of various pastries and several hot options to choose from as well. We loved our stay at this quaint little inn!
