Pleasantly surprised the Beauty of the room and amenities.

Even though I live local Lee, I had friends coming up for an event in downtown SLO. I could not have asked for a better hotel with all of the amenities in the most perfect location to everything we wanted to do. It truly is a gem of a hotel and I would recommend this place to absolutely anyone visiting our area.

Staying at Cerro Hotel was a lovely experience. Located in the downtown area of San Luis Obispo is a beautiful place with access to restaurants and coffee shops.
6.0
I'll start with the pros: location is great and our room was beautiful.
The cons: We only stayed one night- after taxes, fees, parking, the cost at checkout was about $300 more than the listed nightly price. If you're going to charge $700 per night, my expectation of the level of service is going to go WAY up- so it's not that the service was bad, it just wasn't to the level I would expect for such an expensive hotel. Part of the fees we paid was a $150 pet fee. Kind of ridiculous to me to charge a flat rate fee as opposed to a nightly fee- so we had to pay an extra $150 to bring the pup for one night.. On top of that- the room had nothing cute/special for the dog- not even a water bowl in the room.. I wrote a review on their website and included this critique, and it does seem that they have no added some pet amenities to the rooms. I also felt there was a lack of transparency about the pet fee- they literally sent 3 emails reminding me that parking was not included and we would have to pay $40/night to park on site- but the pet fee is not included in the cost when you book and it's also not mentioned in these emails. I looked back and it is listed under 'policies,' but felt it could have been made more clear at the time of booking or before we got onsite. I probably would've booked somewhere else had I know how much the taxes and fees would add up to.

This unique modern hotel was very clean & beds so comfortable. I’d come back.
4.0
First, while the hotel is located in a great place near all the restaurants, it is geared more towards a younger crowd. They do not take any cash, making tipping the valet hard to do. They cannot make change to make it easy to leave a tip to the maid. It is nuts.
Second, there is no sign at all other than one far away from the gym and pool - especially the gym - and none for which way to walk to the valet. Everything is very poorly marked, so you have to go explore to find anything.
Last, I had a so-called "city view" but it was of the HVAC units on the buildings in front of the hotel window. It was really ugly. And the room layout was odd - you walk into the bathroom - I kid you not! The TV was not made to be watched from the bed as it was off to the left of the bed.
Last, the pool is around four feet deep, and trash cans in the bathrooms were around four inches high.
Very expensive hotel, decorated nicely, but not comfortable.
8.0
The room is very clean and comfortable. It sits in the middle of SLO downtown, and is very convenient for shopping. The only problem is across from my room there is a pub, and it played loud EDM music all night until 1:30am, and their were talking so loud that I can hear them talking on third floor.

Beautiful property. Downtown location very walkable.

Love this hotel! Perfectly located next to many nice restaurants. We enjoyed hanging out by the pool and the service staff was amazing. We had a nightcap at their restaurant and bar downstairs before getting a good nights rest. We took the bikes for a ride the next day before checking out. We’ll be back!

Valen, the desk clerk when we checked in was excellent. The morning desk clerk with a mustache should look for a career where he does not interact with people.

This was a great find! And it's nice to know it's part of the Bonvoy/Marriott family. Over the past several years, we have only stayed at The Granada Hotel while visiting SLO, unaware of this property. The location was perfect for us, as we like walking around town. With valet parking, it was easy to forget we had a car. The rooms were beautiful. The living garden used by the restaurant was lovely, the pool was refreshing, there were many beautiful sitting areas, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. The only annoying issue is that the property is cashless, so everything has to go to your room or a credit card. I tried to get a change for $20 to give the valet and housekeeping a tip, but they couldn't do that because they were cashless. We would have kept small bills on us if we had known that. Management should keep a little cash so that tips can be left by those trying to check out and get on the road.

Hotel Cerro was great. Facility was very clean and highly secure. Staff very friendly and helpful. Close to downtown market which we appreciated.

My favorite kind of hotel - great sense of style and wonderful grounds and staff.
4.0
Hotel is very overpriced relative to other choices in SLO. Several add on charges such as $40.00 a night for parking plus a $30.00 service charge beyond what Expedia advertises. you get a $30.00 "food voucher" but that only buys one glass of wine with no redemption of balance. I have never stayed a place so uncertain of what it actially is.
10.0
We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Cerro! Our room was very spacious, the rooftop pool was great and the onsite restaurant was quite good. My only complaint was charging me for drip coffee in the morning,$6 !! Honestly drip coffee at a hotel like this should be complimentary and ( in the hotel lobby) especially in the mornings… Overall we enjoyed our stay - conveniently located downtown and walking distance to many great spots!

Great centrally located hotel! Loved the rooftop pool and restaurant.
6.0
bar restaurant by the pool not open despite front desk saying it’s “supposed to be open” - 3 days in a row. Found a contact lens in our bed, gross. Charged $40 for a soda and beer despite showing a $30 beverage free/card? Handed vouchers for free beverages but then told they were only for one certain type of drink? the motion sensor in the bathroom when you walk in the restroom bothersome as it wakes everyone up in the middle of the night and is a blaring light at 2am. The nightlight on the wall had to be covered up with a stack of chairs. Noise from a corner DJ on the street at 8:30am. Not the stay we recall. Disappointed this round. Lots of incremental charges on our bill and the amenities list feels like a bait and switch. Help us with something that will convince us to return.

SO CUTE, really lovely – would stay again. Only complaint: we stayed on the third floor and woke up at 6am to incredibly loud banging sounds from the ceiling. It went on for two hours – until I finally went upstairs to find out what was going on.
THE GYM WAS RIGHT ABOVE US! People had been dropping free weights on the ground, our ceiling! Absolutely unbelievable.
Make sure you ask for a room that is not immediately below the gym, or you're going to wake up to the earlybirds dropping free weights right above your head.

This property earned all of its stars. There was nothing that I could say was disappointing. As long as they keep this up, I would make it my regular stay any time my wife and I go to San Luis Obispo.
