Next Door At Granada - San Luis Obispo

This restaurant is an excellent choice for both romantic outings and family gatherings. It boasts a wonderfully convenient location and has a charming ambiance filled with fascinating history.

The service was fantastic and the bed was very comfortable. However, the lighting in the rooms could use an upgrade, and the breakfast should really be labeled as a continental breakfast because it doesn't feel like a full meal. I absolutely loved the bar!

My wife and I were among the youngest guests, and they placed us in a corner room, which was a nice touch. We ended up paying an additional $100 to extend our stay from the standard checkout time of 11 AM to 2 PM, which was worth it since I needed the extra sleep after a long drive. We dined for both lunch and dinner at the hotel. I wouldn’t recommend the lamb burger; it was quite disappointing. However, the ahi tacos were excellent, and I believe their menu changes seasonally. One major issue was the outdoor seating area, which was very dirty. The tables and chairs were not wiped down before being occupied, so we had to request this, and we noticed others doing the same. It was puzzling why they would place clean napkins on filthy tables, and the number of flies was quite bothersome. They left the doors open, so I imagine that inside might have similar cleanliness issues. While I would consider staying here again, I would definitely bring along some extra items like a fold-out table and something to cover the outdoor seating.

Smelly, Noisy Dump The only okay thing about this place is the geographic location. I barely got any sleep because there is a loud and pervasive hum and vibration from equipment on the roof cycling on and off every few minutes. The tone of it was so intense, I could literally feel it in my heart. (In addition to that disturbance, my A/C wasn 't working and my room smelled of mildew so I had the windows open. At 6 am someone fired up their leaf blower, this happened both mornings. I spoke with the concierge about the noise and vibration from the mechanicals and he apologized and said he had heard the same thing from other guests and they would be looking into it. I told him if it wasn 't going to be fixed, I didn 't know if I could complete my stay there as I couldn 't sleep. He said he completely understood. In addition to the mechanical issues, there is a constant din of delivery trucks banging around as The Granada is the only enterprise facing a street that is basically an alley for deliveries for the mall on the other side. The hotel does have a nice terrace, with a view of a Bank of America ATM and a bunch of business 's back doors. The food at their restaurant was mediocre, service, the same. The staff looks like they just rolled out of bed. I 'm pretty sure they purposely installed the dimmest lighting possible everywhere so they don 't have to actually clean the place or iron their clothes. Seriously, make sure your phone is charged at all times because you have to light your own way through this dismal, dusty, 15 watt disaster of a hotel. Couldn 't sleep the second night so I asked to check out a day early. They refused to refund me for the last night for our two rooms even though they knew there was a mechanical issue disrupting many guests ability to sleep, which is the primary purpose of renting a hotel room, no? Anyway, they suck, stay away, it 's a smelly, noisy dump. The place has the feel of a bunch of drunk 20 year olds who said hey gang, let 's run a wacky hotel together . Oh, and the faucet handle fell off my sink and you have to carry around the most ridiculous bulky key with a gross tassel on it that looks like it hasn 't been cleaned since the place was a bordello during the gold rush. Blech. Don 't waste your time or money.

The hotel is superb! For the price, you cannot beat this boutique hotel! The building has a rich history, the rooms are exquisitely appointed and quaint, and the bistro and bar downstairs is on point! I love this place!
