Homestead Motel 920 Olive Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93405

"Not only are the rooms DESPERATELY in need of updating, they aren't cleaned properly between guests and then the guy in the office will try to keep your deposit to add insult to injury, claiming he needs it to get the carpets deep cleaned. I was wearing pale grey socks the first night, and they were black with dirt when I went to bed. Gross! The paint has clearly been gone over dozens of times; it's thick, peeling, and bubbled. The toilet is straight out the a kindergarten restroom from the 70s, ran nonstop an the outlet above the sink (directly above the sink!) had exposed wiring. The shower is the size of a litter box and filthy with mildew. To have the manager claim he needed to keep the deposit and then, when informed that I took pictures of the room (having been ripped off in this scam before), he suddenly changed his mind and returned my deposit while telling me not to come back... AS IF I EVER WOULD! If there'd been any available rooms anywhere near it, I would have left as soon as I went into the room."

"This is not a very modern hotel if that is what your looking for, think 1960s sheek. It has old carpet, holes in the walls and doors, old musky curtains, and 30-year old AC. Our room had no towels or other amenities when we showed up, had no hot water in shower, and smell coming from AC unit. There was ample parking available, but the rates were way too high for rooms provided. The pool is paved over. There is only comforter (smelly), and the pillows had property of County Hospital printed on all of them. I do not recommend this hotel."

"Not even worth 1 star!!! Worst motel I've ever been to. Infested with roaches, it was so dirty. The room hasn't been vacuumed or wiped down in weeks it looked like Mold in the bathroom. Roaches everywhere. I was refunded after I threw a fit and threatened to complain to health department. (I'm still going to report this motel). Not suitable for anyone. I'm totally discussed."

"Absolutely discusting. There were bugs everywhere. The tables were sticky and dirty from previous guests bed had bugs in it floor hadn't been vacuumed since the place was built. Mold and old hair in the shower.... I was afraid for my family's lives if we were to stay here. We ended up at a different hotel."

"Although it is true that the motel is worn, and that the bed was not comfortable (could have used a plywood board) the place was clean and basic. The microwave and refrigerator were fine, and the air conditioner was fine, so for the price I thought we did well. The staff was hospitable, so yeah for the price, especially in that area, it was ok."
