“Hotel Cerro, part of the Autograph Collection, presents a paradox. While its downtown San Luis Obispo location grants access to attractions, it also seems prone to noise issues that management hasn't fully addressed, based on some accounts. The hotel notably emphasizes farm-to-table dining and spa treatments, but improvements in soundproofing and front desk attentiveness appear necessary to ensure a consistently luxurious experience.”
