We loved this beautiful hotel and the surroundings. The website said there was a bar and restaurant in the hotel. When we got there it was under construction-no bar or restaurant. Very disappointed about that but our granddaughter took us to a great bar and restaurant just a couple of blocks down and we had a lovely dinner.

Great historical place and location. Big rooms and very clean. The whole lobby was being renovated when we arrived. And downtown construction wasn’t great, but I am guessing that is all improvement.

So clearly On Their Game!

The Carlton was a most welcome surprise - clearly an operation coming into its own as renovations approach completion and (within a year) the long-shuttered bar and restaurant are on a path to reopening. Back Porch Cafe was a highlight. I'll be staying here again, for sure! Here's hoping their next 100 years are as storied as their first.

Staff was great, had requested early check-in but they didn't have the room ready, so they worked it out. We didn't have the wine bottle, and trouble with the TV. I would really stay there again once street construction is done and hopefully a restaurant comes back in.

Second time staying here. Rooms can be a little dated but they're clean and spacious. Excellent coffee and pastries in the adjacent cafe. Lobby is currently being renovated. Location is perfect for us - short walk to the Beer Festival and plenty of great dining options within walking distance. Also a short drive to wine tasting, downtown Paso Robles, SLO or Morro Bay.

Great Place

This is a great hotel in a great area. Pillows this time around were super soft, too soft. It was almost like having a pillow. Last time we stayed, a few months ago, pillows were great. But other than that super minor inconvenience, great place to stay. Looking forward to visiting again.
