Atascadero Inn

The lobby was gross, smelled like cat pee and cigarettes. It was dirty and the staff dressed like slobs. They were nice though so that was a plus and the room wasn’t as gross as I thought it would be so I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.

I chose a hotel I clicked on their information Looked at the room, The rate and began the process and Then received an Email 10 or 15 minutes later and it was a completely different hotel but it was a room with two queen beds. The problem is is that the hotel was not up to the standard of the hotel that I chose.

Checkin was not available until 530pm, i saw staff working hard to clean the rooms. Manager kept us company and was fun to talk to. Room was relatively clean, comfortable, and felt safe. Adequate parking.

Average

Honestly… this place should be torn down. Filthy, noisy, and a loud, broken fan in the bathroom. Awful stench in the room. Did not stay on

No hand soap or shampoo. Less than half a roll of toilet paper. Room was clean

On the positive side ....... The place is better than Motel 6 in Pismo but not up to a Holiday Inn Express level. The beds were comfortable enough. The room was reasonably clean. The Air Conditioning was great. The room had a decent flatscreen TV, a microwave, and a mini-fridge. The coffeemaker was a real mini-sized coffeemaker. The location was awesome for us because the A-Town Diner was only a half mile away. The shower was fine. It was quiet, not counting one night when some moose walked around on the second floor above us. Being right on the 41 we took our trip out to Morro Bay that we needed to (for a funeral). Being right on the 101 it was easy to get up to Paso Robles and wineries. And the key factor for choosing this location was that it was Dog Friendly. That said, "Dog Friendly" requires you to pay an extra $20 per night and sign off on a bunch of extra rules about damage and not leaving the dog in the room alone, and that's not on the website. ....... On the negative side ........ The water was kinda cloudy. The toilet and the sink drained slowly. Three doors down from us were some of the friendliest meth addicts. (To each their own. It wasn't a problem.) There was an outside trash can - the 32-gallon R2D2 shape can. The trash can was full the first two days of our three day stay - an obvious thing to remedy that they didn't. There is no pool. The guy behind the counter was friendly. ....... Would we go back? We probably wouldn't because the Adelaide Inn in Paso Robles is much better (but it doesn't take dogs), and the Worldmark Pismo is awesome, if you can get into it (but again, no dogs). But for this one trip, we thought it was okay. A light three stars, but I wouldn't trash this place like some of the other reviews.

I didn’t like the smell of cleaner in the room. Like cheap pinesol but the room was clean at least.

It was an older property but has been updated very nicely. The only complaint was that the towels were very thin and quite old, but they did the job.
