Great Staycation

We spent the weekend in SLO and stayed at The Kinney. What a great experience! The hotel had a super cool vibe and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We ate at Leroy’s (inside the hotel) and it was just as awesome. Will be back for sure!

The staff was very welcoming at this lovely hotel. This hotel really is quite charming with its modern decor and bright photograph walls around the bed. The rooms are incredibly spacious and well-cleaned. We wouldn't hesitate to come back here during another stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kinney SLO. We were greeted by a friendly front desk agent that set the tone for an enjoyable day. Our room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Thank you Kinney SLO staff! I will definitely recommend your hotel to friends and family.

Hip & Comfortable

The ultra mid-century modern Kinney is comfortable and creatively decorated. The bar is cozy and fun with retro games like skee-ball and shuffleboard. There is a great fire pit outside, a pool, good craft beers on tap, and the staff were very welcoming.
