What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 216 guest reviews
Petit Soleil earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its charming French-country atmosphere, outstanding complimentary breakfast, and warm, attentive staff — with many guests citing it as the best accommodation they've experienced in San Luis Obispo. The main drawbacks are external construction noise affecting early mornings, and a handful of rooms that some guests found small, dark, or lacking storage. At its price point, a few guests felt small extra touches (bottled water, welcome gifts) would round out the experience.
