Overall pleasant stay

Overall experience was pleasant. It was currently in renovations so some areas were still being worked on. Room was clean with no issues. The only drawback was ice machine was missing from the floor which I assume was due to the construction. Would stay again.

I love the historic charm of this hotel. Updates are done tastefully. Rooms are large and comfortable. Some of the furniture could use replacing, but there is a lot of work being done. Everyone we talked to on staff was professional, polite and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

This is a cool old property, but with modernized rooms.The front desk is very helpful and courteous with great level of service. Super comfortable beds and great shower. It's located in the heart of downtown Atascadero and is within walking distance to fantastic restaurants. Make sure you try the Back Porch Bakery, which is attached to the hotel. Excellent!

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 The room was a little outdated, but very clean, and I know they're in the process of renovating.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.

There was only sugar for the coffee. I prefer stevia or equal. Also there was nothing to stir the coffee. The young man at the front desk was very helpful.

This beautiful hotel is located so close to everything you need. The inside has been beautifully renovated and the best part about an older building like this, it is sooooo quiet. Definitely no thin walls or floors here. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The best part is it is pet-friendly. I will stay here again!
