ALONG COMES MARY

Apple Farm Inn of San Luis Obispo, California, is such a gorgeous getaway up the coast from LA. While I could have gone further on reasons to stay, here are my top nine! xo

1) Ease of Location

Coming off Highway 101, your exit is Monterey Street and Apple Farm will literally be right there. You almost go straight across the road into their parking lot!

2) Cookies Upon Arrival

Their bakery is world-famous for some of the best baked goods around. They aren’t keeping that a secret since you get some cookies given to you at check in!

3) It’s A Girl’s Dream Suite

I was in a King suite and while I don’t know if all rooms are identical, mine was literally the room I never had as a child. Light pink walls and a canopy bed, you truly will feel like a princess staying here. (You can even order Breakfast in Bed for under $20!)

4) Guest Discounts

For every day you’re staying at Apple Farm and decline housekeeping, they will gladly give you $5 off towards their restaurant or bakery.

5) A Quick Answer if you Dial “0”

I had a few questions once I arrived. I no sooner hit zero and a Guest Services Operator was on the other end.

6) Hair Dryer, Robes, Bottled Water, Sparkling Cider and a Souvenir

How often have you wished you brought a hair dryer? Or arrive at your hotel only to realize you’re out of bottled water or need a soda? No worries. You have all these amenities and more in your room. Your souvenir is a beautiful wood carven apple.

7) You’ve Got Beautiful Surroundings

Whether you want to wine taste, shop, hike, or go to the beach, you can accomplish all of this within minutes in SLO County. They’ve also got you covered for Target, Starbucks, and the main brands, too.

8) It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

As I wrote in a previous post, Apple Farm knows how to do Christmas right. From now through the new year, they’re boasting a huge Christmas tree in the lobby, adorable village collections throughout their hallways and one of a kind gifts to take home from their gift shop.

9) Get Pampered With a Massage

Yep, that’s right. This quaint hotel also has a massage center! Open daily with the exception of holidays/special events.
