Scene
A mid-range hotel with value prices and charming courtyards
The Quality Suites San Luis Obispo has mid-range amenities at economy rates. The casual interior takes its cue from the nearby vineyards -- the decorative pottery, fireplace, floral curtains, wicker ceiling fans, rattan furniture, fountains, terra-cotta tiles, and graceful archways evoke its locale, and a homey library lounge contributes to the vibe. The three-story, white-exterior, gold-trimmed building is surrounded by greenery, and the interior courtyards, which include a gazebo, patio seating, fountains, and turquoise doors and shutters, are serene with tropical foliage. Dark rattan furniture, portable heaters and firepits can be found at the outdoor barbecue area, where there are regularly scheduled cookouts.
