Fraudulent misrepresentation

Complete fraudulent misrepresentation by the Carlton hotel. Instead of Booking the beautiful classic rooms, we were given completely different rooms of green slimy color, bare rooms, exposed boxspring. It felt we stayed at a cheap motel. And the colors are from the horror movies. Apparently they failed to mention that they have been doing renovations. Do not stay. New owners ruined the classic hotel. Look at photos. What we booked and what we got.

Historical gem

Amazing very large rooms with jetted tubs. The building is historical but well taken care of. The staff were great and very helpful. Hope to stay here again on my next visit to Atascadero.

Pardoning their dust is easy!

The hotel is gorgeous. Too bad the timing made it so that half my floor and other parts were closed for construction. That wasn't the best sight to see but most of the other beautiful sights mostly made up for it!

Don’t change too much.

Love the new mural. However the new green color in the room does not look good at night w the lights on. It turns a sickly green. The old color works better. It’s more restful in the rooms. Don’t change too much. The old furniture is lovely. Just need a good shampooing if the carpet. And larger bath towels.

This was our 2nd stay in the last few weeks, the Carlton is a beautiful property and the rooms are beautifully decorated. After recently renovating our bathrooms I would imagine the bathrooms must have cost $50,000+ to have such a high level of finish, very nice!
