Slo Brew Lofts

Although it was rainy the whole trip, it was a blast! We went for our daughters 21st. This place was in a great location for the nightlife!! The room was so spacious. The decorations were very cool! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Easy check in, pet-friendly, great communication! We will be back!

Slo Brew Lofts is undeniably modern, new, comfortable, and clean, but I wouldn't recommend staying there. While the lofts are aesthetically appealing, you can get a hotel of the same or higher caliber with the necessary amenities for the same prices. The lack of sleep and lack of convenient parking is enough to not recommend it. Location 1/5 Parking 1/5. no parking at the facility to difficult to load and unload luggage. Noise 1/5 Noise machine ear buds and sedatives weren’t sufficient enough to drown out noise outside Check in/Check out 1/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Staff hospitality customer service 4/5 Value for cost 2/5 Bed 5/5 Furniture Comfort 5/5 Bathroom 5/5 Privacy 5/5 Security 2/5 Noise: The lofts are located on Higuera St., in the middle of downtown SLO, above a bar with nightly live music and college kids until 2 am, even on Wednesday nights. These same drunk college kids were also hanging in front of the loft's entrance when we returned one night. The walls nor windows have soundproofing, so you can hear everyone's conversations and the music! Music beneath you starts at about 8/9. You can feel the bass vibrating through your body while you try to sleep. By 3 am it is quiet and you can finally sleep, only for the commercial morning mayhem to begin at 6am. The smell and sounds of street cleaning, businesses unloading trucks etc. We are accustomed to loud cities but lodging located within commercial districts should use 3 pane windows, sound proofed and insulated walls etc. Parking: Stating that parking comes with the hotel is a false advertisement and unacceptable and should be excluded from advertisement. There is no parking at the facility so you have to pull up quickly in front of the building to unload your luggage. There are only 2 PUBLIC white loading zone spaces, so if 2 cars are there, which they were for more than 10 mins at check- in, so you cannot guarantee their availability at check-in or check-out. If the spaces are full, then you’re either stuck circling the block or parking in the commercial zone which led to both of our cars getting $53 tickets despite us unloading our bags for less than 10 mins. At check-in, we drove around the block several times waiting for the spots to become available so that we could drop our luggage off in the room since we didn't want to leave our luggage in the car and didn't know where the parking lot was that we would be able to park in (you have to go upstairs to the loft to get the parking vouchers and location). Having a dinner reservation at 6:15pm, we could no longer continue to drive around the block so we parked in front of the two cars parked in the public loading zone. We took our luggage up to the room and came back down in less than 10 minutes because our dinner was in 15 minutes. We both received parking tickets at 5:49 pm, despite free parking starting at 6pm, for parking in the commercial zone right in front of the loading zone. At check-out, we had the same issue with
