Comfy, clean and in a nice location near Paso Robles.
Pros:

They’ve been renovating the property, and the room was clean, the bed and bedding was comfortable and since the street construction was done, it was quiet too.

Cons:

My only complaint would be that the restaurant downstairs is still not done and there was some construction work going on mid-morning on Monday.

Pros:

I was visiting family in Atascadero and the hotel was 5 min from their house. The hotel is at the center of town, conveniently located for food and the interior is funky elegance. Parking is easy - unloading at the front and a lot closeby on the next corner. It all worked well for me, was closer and much more interesting than one of the chains, and was a good price. Street and highway noise was minor and the windows opened. HVAC worked well. We'll be back.
