Travel Note
We will not be hosting any room blocks, so please choose an option that works best for you. Our venue is located in the heart of Downtown SLO, and in an area surrounded by lodging options within a one mile radius. Uber/Lyft are also very active in the area and can transport you to/from the venue at all hours without an issue if you do not choose to stay in the immediate area. SLO is a small town in general, so even if you stay at one of the “further” hotels, you’re still within a 5-10 minute drive. RECOMMENDATIONS --------------> If you’ve never been to SLO or California, there are also many options if you want to use the experience to stay by the beach. Pismo Beach, Avila Beach and Shell Beach have oceanside beach access rooms, where Morro Bay has a mellow, inn-style beach town vibe.
