We were just travelling through from San Francisco to San Diego and needed a place to stop for the night. We were in the Paso Robles - San Luis Obispo area and decided to turn off to check out this hotel because it had a couple of advertisements on highway billboards on southbound 101. We were expecting a simple Motel... more

We stayed our 2nd time at The Carlton Hotel for Valentines weekend. We always enjoy this boutique luxury hotel in downtown Atascadero. The rooms are VERY roomy, and include spa tubs.

We booked nearly the entire hotel for our daughter's wedding. First of all, I was very happy with the group rate I was given by the hotel's manager (Christine).
