Sweet Old Hotel with a Warm Welcome

The Carlton was a lovely hotel. The room was large and clean and very quiet. Check in was a very pleasant experience and we felt welcome the moment we arrived.

The hotel was perfect - rooms were huge, centrally located to shops and restaurants, lots of parking nearby, friendly staff and overall a perfect hotel for a weekend away.

I will be coming back!

This is a beautiful historic hotel! Our room was large and the furniture/beds were very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were there only one night and I picked the hotel simply because I needed something affordable and it was less than many others. Now, I wish I was there for a few days. The neighborhood around the hotel looks so charming and the restaurants look yummy... I will have to plan a trip just to stay here again.

8/10 Very good

Great historical place and location. Big rooms and very clean. The whole lobby was being renovated when we arrived. And downtown construction wasn’t great, but I am guessing that is all improvement.

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!

So clearly On Their Game!

The Carlton was a most welcome surprise - clearly an operation coming into its own as renovations approach completion and (within a year) the long-shuttered bar and restaurant are on a path to reopening. Back Porch Cafe was a highlight. I'll be staying here again, for sure! Here's hoping their next 100 years are as storied as their first.

Great Place

This is a great hotel in a great area. Pillows this time around were super soft, too soft. It was almost like having a pillow. Last time we stayed, a few months ago, pillows were great. But other than that super minor inconvenience, great place to stay. Looking forward to visiting again.

Hotel Carlton Atascadero

What a lovely hotel! Staying at Hotel Carlton felt like being transported back in time to another era. Beautifully decorated room and furnishings. A perfect escape from reality. Definitely worth staying if traveling through the area.
