"TLDR: Hotel is made for couples We stayed at the Granada for one night while passing through the area. Purposely staying on a Thursday to spend some time at the SLO farmer 's market. Location is right in the middle of where the farmer 's market is, close to all the shops, bars and restaurants. Parked and never had to go to my car until we left. There is not enough parking for all the rooms and the driveway is super narrow not ideal for SUVs. Additional parking is a block away and they will reimburse or validate. The hotel is very unique. I was told that it was built in the 1920 's as a hotel, transformed into low income housing then back into a hotel. The hotel has a restaurant on one side and a little speakeasy on the other. Upstairs where the rooms are, the middle area is a common area with soft seating as well as a terrace overlooking the street with a gas fireplace. We ate our dinner and the continental breakfast they offer with the room stay out on the terrace. Loved this area! We stayed in a queen room (no fireplace). The room itself was not large but enough space for 2 people with minimal luggage. There is one soft chair, no closet. The toiletries provided were spa quality in the form of refillables. The reason for the statement that the hotel is made for couples is because the shower is fully exposed. The walls of the shower are visible to the room and are made of glass almost all the way around. There is one room where one side had 3 long window like openings but still completely visible to anyone in the room. In other rooms, the shower also has windows to the outside however those windows do not face anything so no one can see. So if you are staying with a friend or sibling or someone other than your partner, be prepared to be seen. They provide a bunch of snacks and drinks on a tray for purchase as well as a lovers kit . I suggest going through to make sure everything is there as soon as you get in. We got charged for gummy bears that weren 't on the tray when we arrived. I just thought they must have run out but then was charged. There is a $20 amenity fee but the only amenities were a glass of wine upon check in and the breakfast. Maybe the common areas are also included in that? If you like funky, unique hotels and like it when your partner watches you shower, then this is the place for you!"
