I love the old buildings so this place was great, but the absolute highlight of my stay was meeting Peyton. What a beautiful human being. The hotel is lucky to have him working there.
Definitely get a morning bun and or an almond croissant at the bakery.

The hotel is centrally located, both in Atascadero and if you have plans to travel around Northen San Luis Obispo county. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were always greeted with a genuine smile and they were quick to address any questions we of had. The room was a little outdated, but very clean, and I know they're in the process of renovating.
There is free parking and plenty of places to eat or have drinks at within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this hotel and plan on staying here in the future.

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.

This is a beautiful historic hotel! Our room was large and the furniture/beds were very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were there only one night and I picked the hotel simply because I needed something affordable and it was less than many others. Now, I wish I was there for a few days. The neighborhood around the hotel looks so charming and the restaurants look yummy... I will have to plan a trip just to stay here again.

The hotel is beautiful, right at downtown Atascadero and is very clean. The reason for our visit was the sensorio park, which is a little far (Paso Robles is closer). I’d definitely recommend the hotel the staff was very helpful!

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.

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.
