Heritage Inn Bed and Breakfast

Stayed here for a bachelorette weekend and had a really great experience. The service was great and we will definitely return again one day!

This is was surprise find for us as we had messed up our reservation at hotel Obispo (hosteling international) and were desperately in need of a place to stay for couple of nights. I found this place on Unilocal and called Barbara and she immediately booked the room. And boy was this a beautiful little house. This is a heritage house and has long history associated to it. It has all sorts of neat pictures, books and objects — you can spend all day exploring this cute little house. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. Oh and the best part is the breakfast! Freshly baked cakes and muffins and amazing coffee Looks peaceful and well maintained. The host Barbara is vey helpful and polite. I would recommend this place to couples. They also have their own parking and a little path down to a stream running right behind the house. Go for this place ! You’ll love it !

Nuzzled in between cheap, bright, noisy motels, the freeway on-​ramp and the freeway. Old and musty, with furniture from a yard sale. Very, very noisy (think car doors slamming and fights in the adjoining motel parking lot, cars and motor cycles rev-​ing onto the freeway ramp) and light from the motels penetrated the room. Dirty and run down. The back yard, what there was of it through the parking lot and down the hill was trashy… didn’t even go there. The proprietor was friendly and nice, but sorry, it didn’t come close to my expectation, or resemble any of the other reviews.

This is an inn with a heart. Recently we had some confusion about our check-​in date. They were good enough to call to check (very much unlike the Rose Garden Inn). I explained that I had sent an email regarding the change. Georgia was just wonderful. She did not charge me and was able to rent one of the days to a nice family. I would recommend avoiding the Rose Garden Inn and stay here at the Heritage Inn instead. Plus they are dog-​friendly!

Great b&b in slo! Lovely historic house with a great story.
Breakfast is great and the room we stayed in had plenty of room.
My only comment is that if you are a light sleeper to ask for a bedroom on the opposite side of the home from the freeway.

Doesn’t get much better. Very friendly staff. Cozy home feel. Good conversation with other guests and delicious breakfast!

This B&B is so charming and homey. I searched and searched for a place I could somewhat afford, that was also pet-​friendly. I called dozens of hotels and was shocked that this lovely B&B was the most reasonably priced.
Georgia, the owner, was so incredibly accommodating to us and my dog. They didn’t charge us any sort of pet fee and were genuinely and sincerely happy to have us stay there. From the second we arrived it was like coming to stay with family. Oh… and there were fresh baked cookies in the hallway when we arrived!
My sister and I (and my large black lab) stayed in the «White Lace and Promises» room with a queen bed and private bathroom. It was so quaint and adorable. The bed was a little firm for my liking, but better than most hotels. They provided more than enough pillows and it was so nice to sleep under a real comforter. The windows could use some darker curtains as it was very bright, but didn’t prevent us from a wonderful stay.
After we checked in we explored the garden and creek. When you walk down the hill you are suddenly transported to this quiet, relaxing oasis. We sat and and splashed our legs in the creek while my pooch happily ran amuck through the calm waters. It was very much needed after our 4-​hour drive.
Later when we went to dinner and a show, I asked Georgia if it would be okay if I left Leila (my dog) in our room. She was completely fine with that and said she would call if Leila was stressed out. How kind was that?!
They also had wine and cheese in the parlor at 5pm.
There were only 3 other guests that evening and they were extremely silent. So although the walls are thin in this old Victorian, we were not disturbed at all.
Breakfast was delightful. Waffles, frittata, pastries, fresh banana bread, fresh fruit, oatmeal, cereal, orange juice and coffee. The cook was so excited to have us eat her food.
Overall, our stay here was marvelous. Everyone was so kind, accommodating, and made us feel cared for and welcomed. It felt like staying at a home-​away-​from-​home and I hope I can stay here again someday!

I can’t imagine this place gets any good reviews. Maybe if you’re very young and don’t know better. First, it’s filthy. The carpets smell and the bathrooms are dirty. The house is way too small to host a bed & breakfast business. It’s next to parking lots with super bright lights that keep you awake and not enough shades to block the light. I know, the website looks like the house would be in a cozy neighborhood but it’s smack next to the Best Western and Travel Lodge type motels. The place is cheap which means it’s like a frat party house with too much noise and chaos from the 20 something’s. The inn keeper is very noisy and in your face so if you like space to yourself forget it. You’ll have someone. talking to you while you’re trying to drink your coffee and wake up in the morning.

We stayed here on New Years Eve and were delighted by this little gem! The rooms have fun flair with fireplaces and old time theming. However the most memorable part of the stay was the friendly Innkeeper Richard. He offered us a glass of wine at checkin and cooked a fantastic veggie egg fritatta for breakfast. This place is a brisk walk from downtown SLO, if you plan to head out for a night on the town. 15 – 20
/​minutes

Georgia was absolutely wonderful. We were sad we didn’t get to meet Richard as well since we’ve read so much about him. Although, he did leave a very nice note on the table before he left for his vacation in Hawaii.
She set us up with a little red and white wine in the common room.
Cozy, pleasant, quiet. Right off the 101. Minutes from everything.
Warm breakfast. Warm bed. Amazing shower. Plenty of bathrooms. Ours had a private bathroom, but no fireplace. (We stayed in the White Lace room I think it was called?) Highly recommended!

Breakfast was over rated– not much selection and so so egg dish.
Rooms were nice.
Had to ask for the wine and cheese advertised in the evening
Richard was nice but a little too chatty
Noisy main street
Garden down back needs work
Not worth the money– nicer places in a quieter area

While I didn’t stay here, my Mom, Grandma, younger brother, and dog spent one Saturday night.
Richard was very helpful when I called to inquire about the rates, so much so that I put in the reservation at the end of the phone call.
Although my Mom appreciated Richard’s homey hospitality, she learned after staying at her first B&B that she prefers the privacy of a hotel. We were late getting to bed and were told to be quiet as other guests were trying to sleep early– it’s an old wooden house, you can hear some noise through the walls. We did not have the option to leave until our bedtime either because Richard locks the front door himself before he goes to bed.
My younger brother loved the breakfast and talked about the omelet all day. Props Richard on your hard work throughout the weekend!
No doggie beds nor dog bowls provided but my dog seemed to enjoy her stay, she was not too confused, like she can get in a hotel hallway where everything looks similar (although she’s also 13 human years old).
My Grandma appreciated the one-​on-​one assistance but she prefers an elevator. There was no a/​c nor a fan in the bedroom either– unfortunately it was not a normally cool night so maybe check the weather forecast before deciding to spend the night here!
Overall, I would recommend this place, but I would be picky about who I would recommend to, and when.

Richard was very friendly and helpful. However, staying here was not worth the price and I wish we had stayed somewhere else. There is a breakfast included and it starts at 9am. We told Richard the night before that we would be leaving at 8am, and we needed breakfast beforehand. We ended up waiting till 9 for him to cook us eggs. They were delicious and we loved them, but we wish we had known we’d have to wait an hour. I think this place is better if you are really taking your time and sleeping in. The bed was old and not very comfortable. If the room was cheaper, we wouldn’t have minded; I just don’t think the quality matched the price we paid.

We will probably go back there to stay.
The host Richard is very nice. And the young lady who served breakfast was very kind.
We liked the house, the room, the bathroom, the breakfast, the creek in the back, and the location.
Thank you very much. Will see you again.

My Mom and I were driving to SB and decided to stop in SLO for the night instead of driving 2 more hours. I called maybe 12 hotels and this was one of the only ones open. They were sweet and welcoming to us and my puppy, a no no in many hotels. We walked in and there were people drinking wine and chatting in the parlor, acting as if they were staying with friends and not at a boutique hotel. I’m sorry that I don’t remember the name of the gentleman who helped us, but he was sweet as could.
Our room was small and absolutely precious. There was a small bathroom and balcony! The décor was really cute, clearly someone had put lots of work into this.
Breakfast was included the following morning and it was wonderful. Everyone sat in a small dining room and enjoyed a meal together. The small staff was sweet and especially helpful to a party next to us with difficult dietary needs.
Considering that these days a chain hotel with a fraction of the service costs the same amount, I would much rather stay somewhere quaint like this!

I strongly advice you to stay here. There is a really good employee Richard. You should come here just to meet with him. He prepared really good organic breakfast for us in a way we like. He was always ready for our needs. He helped us to find place for traveling.
Hotel is in really good condition with a really fair price. When you search about other hotels around there you will understand how fair price it is.

Terrific cozy place — good value for the price. Our room had antique photos of people on the dresser, so it felt like were were staying with relatives in a guest room.
Pros:
— Adorable room with fire place
— Close to everything you’d want to do in town
— Good breakfast in the morning. Fresh fruit baked quiche and fruit.
— Friendly staff
— Affordable
A creek runs behind the property, so we took a walk and watched birds.
— No minimum night stays — some B and Bs require two nights.
–Only a few rooms, so it will not be crowded.
Cons:
— Walls are thin.
— Quaint house in not so quaint an area. Nestled between large chain motels.
Your room key is also the front door key, so you can come and go as you like.

My husband and I (and our two medium sized dogs) recently stayed here for the weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We drove up to the Inn from about 3.5 hours away after work on a Friday, so we didn’t arrive until around midnight. I had spoken with one of the ladies and she said this would be fine; she left our key in the mailbox with a little handwritten note to say ‘hello Ivonne!’ and little reminders about the room and when breakfast would be served.
The room was so dainty and cute. We stayed in the Jasmine room; it was nice and airy with the windows half open and the fan on the lowest setting. I saw some comments on here about the bedding – while it wasn’t the absolute best, it was comfortable and we slept soundly. If I had felt it was unclean, I wouldn’t have slept well at all!
Breakfast each morning was great! The cook was very friendly and drank his coffee out in the parlor with us while we ate, joining in friendly conversation with us and the other guests. Each morning we were there, we were offered hot egg casseroles, banana bread, coffee cake and fresh fruit (in addition to toast and cereal). I had seconds each morning.
After going on a hike to Bishops Peak, we came back to the Inn and were met by one of the ladies who kindly asked if we would like any wine and cheese. How lovely! She had also *just* made brownies… they were still warm! She asked if I had any diet restrictions and also offered gluten free baked goods… all the baked goods were left out on glass plates and covered with plastic wrap so that we could have them throughout the day. I forgot to mention that I had a cookie immediately upon our Friday night arrival!
The second day, after coming back to the Inn from another hike, we were greeted by the owner and she said ‘Welcome home” with a smile.
That’s why we chose a bed and breakfast place to stay. B&Bs may not always have the very best sheets or views, but this place offered a great room to us and our dogs, a wonderful breakfast and welcoming hosts.
Thanks, we had a wonderful time :)

This was my first B&B experience and I was so glad to have tried it out! We drove up for a weekend getaway from LA, did our first night a cheap motel in San Simeon and after Hearst Castle did some sight seeing. We wanted a nicer place to stay for the second night and were glad to Heritage Inn becuase it was within our budget even during a marathon weeknd and still really cute and interesting.
Pros:
— Adorable room with fire place
— Close to everything you’d want to do in town
— Amazing breakfast in the morning. Fresh fruit baked quiche and breads.
— Attentive staff (although I didn’t know anybody’s name really because no one really introduced themselves to me).
— Wine and snacks at 5pm
— Made the stay feel like a vacation experience instead of squatting in a crappy hotel
— Affordable
— No minimum night stays –we stayed just for Saturday night.
Cons:
— Was told one room had view of a creek over the phone… but this would be past the parking lot I later learned.
— Walls are thin… soooo we could hear the couple laughing at some video on their computer as though they were right next to use.
— Quaint house in not so quaint an area. Nestled between motels.
This place was mainly perfect because we wanted to do so much in town that we just needed a comfortable place to crash for the night. I’d suggest doing what we did below. So much fun!
— Sycamore springs hourly hot tub rentals — real hot spring water in a secluded hot tub
— Sunset Drive in theatre — so much fun 7:30 /9:30 stay for one of both.
— Bob Jones Trial and Avila beach — I rollerbladed he walked :)

Rented out the entire place for the weekend of my wedding. Everyone who works here is so sweet! The place is charming– you definitely have to go here expecting that. It’s a B&B, not the Four Seasons. The sheets and towels may be rougher than those luxury resorts, but they were not bad at all. The charm of the place makes up for everything it lacks and makes me feel like I stepped into a scene from Gilmore Girls. Food was delicious– Rachel was an amazing cook who sat and chatted with us as we readied for the wedding. She was so sweet and fun! Anaya (spelling?) was also too sweet and welcomed us like we were part of the family. The owner also came by to say hello, and all accommodated us for our special wedding needs. Each room was a good size, and several rooms have their own private bathrooms. Just be sure to pull down the window shades in the bathrooms so the adjacent buildings cannot peek in! There is also wine & cheese around 5 and snacks later in the night if you are there. The scones were amazingly delish. There is a creek down in the garden that lends a peaceful element to the location.
I love that I got the additional experience staying in a B&B altogether with my bridesmaids. It gave us enough distance from each other when we needed it but allowed us to come together as only living under one roof can. Definitely recommend if you want a cute, quaint weekend away. Plus it’s a short half-​mile walk from downtown SLO– checkout the farmers market at night on Thursdays!
