Our check in experience was stupendous. The location of the Carlton in Atascadero is perfect for those that like to walk around and explore. The restaurants are walking distance and the free parking experience was a plus. Now the rooms were outstanding and super clean. I would recommend this hotel to any family member of close friend.

Our room was lovely. They are making renovations to the hotel, but we did not hear any noise over the weekend we were there. The only "issue" we had was the room was not cleaned during our stay. We had to secure additional towels with the front desk.
