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.

We were not told that they were in the process of renovations. While we would have stayed regardless, we walked into the room and it had bed, nightstands, a desk and a TV. The normal furniture we expected left a lot of open space and we had to request a second luggage stand to keep the 2nd suitcase off the floor.
Also, not sure the new renovations match the character of the building.
We will stay again because it is close to family and the best in town.
