“Budget Inn's name is certainly apt; it's a straightforward, no-frills option for those watching their wallets in San Luis Obispo. While some find the dated facilities and occasional service hiccups challenging, I see it as a pragmatic choice for a brief stay where location and price trump luxury. If you're seeking a simple base to explore the area and aren't overly fussy, it could fit the bill.”
