Location is very close to downtown (one block away to the main drag). Room was very clean. Easy checkin. Parking available. We usually stay here when we're in town because of these aspects. And the price is great!
Do not bring your pet or you will be charged a large amount of money. We made the mistake of bringing our dog and were charged for it afterward. They aren't even allowed ON the property, so don't even think about staying there and having your dog sleep in the car. I'm sure there were signs posted in the lobby during check in but I didn't see them and the person checking us in didn't mention it, so I didn't think about it until after we checked out. Once we left, I received a call claiming they "found dog hair in our room" and that they were going to charge us for it. That's fine, I just wish I had read the fine print on the contract first. And I wish the property details during reservation were more explicit about their no pet policy.

Great location, walkable to great restaurants, etc. The room was clean. Main reason I selected this hotel was because it had a microwave and refrigerator. It is budget friendly. Nothing fancy but met the needs.
Noise. The rooms are not soundproof, so it can very loud when people talk, especially outside and the parking lot. The person who was staying above my room was heavy footed so everytime he/she walked they were huge thuds.

DAILY room service! I was so very pleasantly surprised! It was awesome - when staying for multiple nights - to not need to beg for additional towels, as fresh new ones appeared! It appears that late check ins are doable and not ideal. It is a noteworthy, but not uncomfortable and certainly flat, walk to downtown amenities. The money we saved on lodging made it easy to grab the occasional Uber, have a snack/breakfast at a fun local place, and still have many funds available! There is enough parking for everyone!
It appears that late check ins are doable and not ideal. No Lobby / common area to gather if traveling with others.

Great value for money. Perfect for short stay Great location, short walk to downtown. Very Comfortable bed, clean linens, good pillows, very clean bathroom. Blackout curtains. Good bedside lights with bedside plug-in for your phone charger. Has iron, extra blanket, good shower if you are tall. Insulated windows keep it quiet in the room despite busy street outside. . Owner kindly kept our bags in office for a few hours while we went for lunch and waited for our afternoon train
Not necessarily negatives given the affordable price point, just FYI: Only local channels on TV, no way to hook to paid channels via your phone/ tablet. No usb charging in room, bring your plug-in charger (plenty if plugs). No pool or recreational amenities, so not a vacation resort place. 1/2 the rooms are up stairs with no elevator, so book accordingly. (Busy concierge hauled our bags up the stairs for us, which was very nice of him) No hairdryer in room. Maybe one available at front desk? Only Negative: $50/hour for late checkout - ouch. So plan to check out on time.(college town, aparantly late ckeckouts have caused problems for them in the past?)

This is a motel, not a hotel or anything fancy. Your room faces the parking lot and you have a small room on the ground floor or second floor with a bathroom (that is a hotel). So as far as hotels go, we liked the location, the rooms were fine, the site was fine, coffee in the lobby and ice was available. Checking in and out was easy and parking was easy. We paid graduation weekend prices (2x normal), but that is to be expected in demand based pricing.

The room was more spacious than I expected. The bed was comfortable and there were places to open two suitcases. The bathroom was spacious also and the shower was excellent. The location was within walking distance of my brother's home and almost next door to a lovely bakery.
for some reason we had a difficult time sleeping and couldn't get the correct temperature in the room. The A/C worked correctly but we just couldn't figure out a good temp to keep the room at.

The front desk personnel was more than gracious. Made it super comfortable and easy to check in and out. The room was very clean and neat. My wife drove 6 hours to meet me there with our 3 week old baby, and she was treated with the same courtesy and respect upon her arrival. The front desk called my room for approval before giving out any information. We really liked that. It made us feel safe and comfortable.
I have no dislikes about our stay

It was an excellent value. The location is very good -- access to downtown SLO. The staff was very courteous and accommodating. I have stayed here previously and would stay again.
The best way to describe the Avenue Inn Downtown District is that it is a former Travelodge that has been painted, has new basic furniture. and is quiet.

The location is excellent, the staff is friendly, and they called us when we forgot and left some stuff. They were nice enough to keep it for us and return it. Overall, everything was good enough for our task-oriented travel and the value we paid, and we certainly would like to go back again.
One thing: The refrigerator was noisy, so we had to take the power off and bring your water with us!

Excellent position for downtown restaurants, shops and Thursday evening market Clean, quiet, updated room. Comfortable bed, good shower, fridge, television etc. Requested a quiet room on the upper floor and were given our choice.
Parking might be a problem if you are late checking in.
