Recommend!

Super nice hotel that will likely be back to its former glory once renovations are completed (currently underway).

The rooms were very nice and large. It's being remodeled, but didn't impede our stay. The only negative is the amount of parking spaces they have which is across the street. Other than that, a good stay.

A very nice hotel with huge rooms. They are under renovation, so you have to go with that. Will be beautiful when done. The only down side is the parking situation. If you get in late, you have to look for parking on the street.

Great hotel. Going through a renovation. Big rooms with jetted tub and separate shower. Construction started way too early, though and they would not stop the banging when asked twice! This was very frustrating and unacceptable for a weekend visit. If this had not happened they would have received excellent across the board.

Historical gem

Amazing very large rooms with jetted tubs. The building is historical but well taken care of. The staff were great and very helpful. Hope to stay here again on my next visit to Atascadero.

Rooms were clean, updating, so it depends on what room you are placed in as to how nice it is. I had multiple good stays until my most recent stay, September 30-October 3rd, when I was bitten by bedbugs on my lower extremities and buttocks. At first I thought it was spiders, but it was your typically three bite pattern.

Based upon previous stays at the Carlton, & the reason for going back is because of its “old world charm”….it has completely lost all that pizzazz. The new color green is horrible & the rooms are very corporate America & lacking class. The staff booked us right next door to construction, which began at 7:50 am!! We couldn’t get out of there fast enough & our next trip, No Thank You, we’ll stay in Paseo Robles.

Great place to stay !

I had a great time at the “Carlton Hotel”. Great location for everything you may need. They were having a re-model, but it didn’t put a negative to my stay. I would highly recommend this hotel.

The Carlton - Best place to stay in Atascadero.

We have been staying at the Carlton for years and enjoy it every time. The new owners are doing a renovation on it which is a great thing as it needs some loving upgrades. The staff is always friendly, helpful and welcoming. There are new restaurants and stores opening up in Atascadero making it more chic for the central coast tourists.
