Last week, the San Luis Obispo planning commission approved the latest design intending to revive the world’s first motel.

The new development plans to preserve and build around parts of the original hotel, and will feature 83 guest rooms, 29 mission revival-style bungalows, a courtyard, restaurant, pool, and 12-foot sound wall along highway 101.
