Carlton Hotel, The
6005 El Camino Rd.
Atascadero, California
The hotel is kinda nice , but I don't see the huge deal. May be Because it's somewhat historic. I got there within the check in time in my room wasn't ready for almost an hour after I arrived. When I got in there was a few things in the bathroom that looked rundown in the bed area slipped and slide it all over the floor I almost fell a couple times. They were doing construction again. The restaurant wasn't open the gym wasn't open and the other people that were in the hotel kept slamming doors and going up-and-down the hall like maniacs, I told the front desk about this and all they did was, say, sorry, I would hope that something would have been done to tell the people in the hotel that other people are here, and they'd like a little bit of peace, but that was not the case. Anyway, after staying at the Carlton for the first time, I won't stay there again.You had to park across the street to be at the hotel which I thought was.I mean , after a hotel being there for so long you think they'd have their own private parking.

So booked hotel through their website. Got a confirmation number and a greeting from the general manager. Show up and no rooms no help and told us to go on our way. They even charged my credit card. Don’t go here unless you want to be unsure if you have a booking. Never experienced anything like this before!!! Go rlsewhere

I've been staying at the Carlton Hotel for the past 13 years. It's been consistently a pleasant experience. The rooms are large with nice amenities. The hotel rooms are currently undergoing renovation. I preferred the previous look which reflected the period of the hotel. For the quietest experience, request a room facing the courtyard or the back of the hotel.

My first time staying here, I came here to avoid the fireworks in my town and asked arrow is good for avoiding fireworks.I got there inside looks nice but there was a lot of construction again.No restaurant , there was a bakery next door that was very overpriced. It took them nearly 3 hours to get my room ready.When they didn't tell the maid that I was here, so I had to wait, I walked around town, which was nice, looked a few places.Anyway the room was just subpar. The bathroom tub jet didn't work. One of them didn't work. There was some strange thing in the shower ceiling. The TV remote was horrible, it barely worked.You had to push the button really hard to change the channel, The nightstand by the couch charger did not work.There was a lot of noise outside my door in the middle of the night. I asked for it to be quiet. The hotel overall is nice and historic. The people were pretty friendly but I wouldn't give this hotel a 4 or 5 star and the room wasn't anything special, Certainly not worth over a hundred dollars. The rug moved around a lot, which, you know, I almost slipped and fell. The one thing I really like about this hotel is they allow pets, but 1 of the front desk lady asked if the people had a service animal which she's actually not allowed to ask that I've been an animal rescue for a long time.And that's against the laws to ask them , if it's a service animal that's almost like asking people about their medical privacy , so I didn't approve of that. So no Restaurant, no gym ice machine was dirty.I got ice and a bunch of black stuff came out. The hotel should also provide you with some water for the coffee maker.I don't do tap water.They should give you bottled water complementary . I got a couple beers from the front desk and they put it on my bill , and I have yet to see that receipt yet.I'm glad I was able to visit the Carlton Because it's historic, but I won't get a room there again.I wasn't impressed above 3 stars , and that was being generous.

This was a nice boutique hotel in the heart of Atascadero. The bathroom was large with both a shower and bathtub. The room was fine although no bed skirt on any beds in the 3 rooms we reserved.
