I loved that it was right downtown walking distance. The roof top heated pool was fun. That edible garden was also pretty cool. Our room Was amazing and super cute.

The bed was a bit soft for our bodies so left with a tweaked back. And the indoor fireplace didn’t work. We asked the front desk to have it looked at but they didn’t come. We decided to not bother to ask again since we had a nice fire pit out on our patio.

The best hotel we’ve ever stayed at!!! Cleanliness was exceptional…. The details of the room were incredible modern but still rustic. The best was the firm bed!!! The room was very large with a great large walk-in shower and separate bath room !! Oh, for women over 55 the large mirror on the wall was magnified for us Perfect!!! I’m getting one for my house !!! We are staying here from now on in SLO!! Staff was very helpful and friendly too!!! We had the best experience there and everything is within walking distance downtown !!!thank you !!

One of the best hotels we have stayed in. Flat out very well done. From the moment you arrive in the car, easy to find park up with great staff. Big rooms with modern feel, amazing roof pool and bar with 100% best location centrally. Highly recommend you stay its a proper hotel. + check out the sushi place in the market one of the best... + the local craft beer bar is amazing... just 5 mins walk away.

No much, I mean maybe the pool could have been a bit longer for swimming. The Gym was very hard to find and they must put up a sign to show its a right by the pool. A larger water carrier for the water dispenser in the hallway would have been good too.

Great location and comfortable beds. Plenty of room and great shower. Nice bar with excellent food and our bartender was very friendly.

Our third stay and we always get the garden and rooftop side, which may be cheaper, but Friday and Saturday nights are pretty loud as the rooms on that side overlook several bars with music. Also being a cash-less establishment when we went to check out there is no cash on hand to make change to tip the parking attendants who were great.

I loved the location of the hotel, I thought it was a really pretty place and the service at chackin and any encounters with the desk were excellent.

We went to the rooftop bar upon checkin, the young man tending bar was brand new and he was awesome! The girl training him however sat at the bar and read a book never coming to our table to ask if we needed anything, I had to go to the bar to order the drinks and food, not realizing she worked there. Gym lacked cleanliness. My husband felt there was a lot of noise from the bar that kept him awake.

The location was perfect. A 15 minute walk from the train station in the heart of Downtown. The layout of the room was great. Lots of space dedicated to the bathroom/shower/dressing area. The hotel was modern/rustic with clean lines that were pleasing to the eye. Very quiet. Good food at the in-house restaurant. Did not get a chance to use the pool but very pretty area. The gym was well equipped

Could use a second chair on the balcony.

great property, very nice finishes, perfect location, fantastic views from pool. great restaurant and bar on property

The rooms facing the alley are subject to a lot of noise at night, esp from Thursday’s till Saturdays. Our weekend rate was $429 a night and the management figures noise complaints can be a profit opportunity to offer rooms on the other side as an upgrade from an additional $50 and up a night. Obviously not the hotel’s fault that the bars are noisy till 2 or 3 AM but I would think for >$400 bucks I and lots of others expect a pretty quiet experience.

The accommodations and staff were top tier. The front desk girl that checked us in was so kind and helpful during our booking process. She deserves a raise. The room was magical, and we will definitely book 222 again when we come back. Thank you Hotel Cerro for a wonderful weekend for my wife’s birthday. Cheers!

The hotel is beautiful and is in the heart of everything. The restaurant and bar is enjoyable, and the $30 credit for the restaurant is a nice touch. This was our third time staying there, and we will be back!

Nothing; we really enjoyed our stay.
