Lovely hotel with really neat architecture right downtown in Atascadero. Really comfy beds. Excellent wall finishings and fixtures. There's some in-progress construction on the ground level that won't impact your stay but should make the area even better in the near future. We really enjoyed our stay and loved walking to dinner and breakfast nearby. Shout-out to Sylvester's and Huckleberry's!

Oddly cheap flooring in the room, and the carpet in the shared hallways could use a refresh.

This is a beautiful hotel that is not only at the center of Atascadero’s downtown, it defines what the city’s downtown wants to become. The staff is great, too!

Hotel construction noise! The incessant hammering during work hours was very very loud. Couldn’t nap or enjoy the room during the day. Fortunately, the construction should wrap up soon

Beautiful interior architecture. Everything comfortable and clean. Large room and bathroom. Right off Highway 101. Good brew pub right downstairs for dinner and lovely cafe also right there for breakfast.

No humans around. One woman sitting in a backroom eventually ventured out to check us in. She was not dressed to go to work and it appeared we were interrupting her relaxation. Pleasant enough once we dealt with her, but her training needs improvement to match the quality of the hotel.

We stayed at The Carlton for just one night after a long 12-hour drive from Oregon. The hotel is a delightful blend of old-world elegance with modern comforts. The tasteful decor was a welcome change from the generic chain hotels we had endured the past few days. Best overall for us - We didn’t have to drive to a restaurant for dinner since great restaurants are within easy walking distance (1-2 blocks) - We highly recommend Mr. Q's. The Carlton's perfect location, combined with its charming atmosphere, made it the perfect stopover.

Everything was perfect

Love the historic building and furnishings. Rooms are large and confortable. Love the bathrooms and interior courtyard. Atascadero is a good location for wine tasting, golfing, and other activities around SLO. or Paso Robles or the coast. The bakery next door has excellent pastries and coffee.

Fear the new ownership won't respect and maintain the historic character of the hotel. It can be updated/freshened, if that's what they want to do, without destroying the historic vibe. It's a gem of a place, please don't turn it in to a Hampton Inn.

Very nice and clean, renovations still taking place but the room was very nice, and there is a bathtub/hot tub in the bathroom.

I was unfortunately right above the construction, it woke me up in the morning. The room was also warm in the morning, I’m not sure why, I would assume it’s because I was on the third floor.

First time we stayed here was about a month ago. We returned as it was so great. Loved the staff and holiday decorations and the character. Super location to walk to 'about anywhere in Atascadero Central Business District.

This time, there were some noted repairs: worn carpet meeting the tiled bathroom flooring was a negative impression and unattractive.

Very nice clean facility. We wish they had at least a light breakfast included, that would have made it perfect. They could also have microwaves in the room which would help. Very nice hotel though and we would stay again even knowing the things they don't offer.

Mainly just the lake of breakfast in the morning. There is really nothing close by for breakfast unless a bakery item will do it for you.

The hotel is beautiful and our room was very spacious. The large tub with jets was a real treat. The front desk staff was welcoming and provided good recommendations for places to eat within walking distance from the hotel.

The hotel's restaurant was closed for refurbishments and had been closed for several months. The Booking.com website did not reflect this information.

Loved the historical feel of the property and the room. Staff was over the top friendly and helpful.

Inconvenient parking. The parking lot is located several doors away and across the street. Loading in front of the hotel has space for about 3 cars at a time.
