Beautiful hotel in Atascadero downtown
The hotel is beautiful, right at downtown Atascadero and is very clean. The reason for our visit was the sensorio park, which is a little far (Paso Robles is closer). I’d definitely recommend the hotel the staff was very helpful!

We have stayed at the Carlton many times and we really enjoy it. This time it was a little different because they’re doing a renovation of the downstairs including their lobby area so things were not as clean and tidy as they usually are but we will be back because we love the place.

Beautiful!
We loved it! The hotel is beautiful not to mention the room!! The rooms are spacious, clean, well stocked (water, coffee, wine-for a few, coffee is free) We had double doors to a very cute courtyard. Only thing I wasn't happy about was that their website states they have a restaurant, and it's no longer open. It wasn't a deal breaker tho, there are several restaurants near by. We'll definitely stay there again!

Check before you stsy
We have stayed at this hotel twice before and loved it both times. The last time was a few years ago and it has not been maintained very well. Apparently Marriott just bought them and when we arrived, the entire lobby was masked off. There was no restaurant and the first two rooms we saw had filthy carpet

A Nice Change
I've stayed here 2 or 3 times. I like to stay here when I want to stay at a nicer place. It's near the city hall, which has a big park. The room was very nice, but we couldn't find the remote for the TV. Didn't matter to us that much so we didn't call the front desk.

A lovely stay with a beautiful esthetic and a wonderful room. A lot of hotels or inns have the same modern and boring look with room that are really just copied for other places, this place is unique and grand. For a stay in a truck stop town it is certainly a magnificent stay. If you like the old English style this place is for you.
