Courtyard by Marriott Paso Robles is a new hotel (opened Sept 2007), located right at the south end of town along S Vine St, adjacent to US 101. Its 130 rooms have views across the Salinas River Valley towards woods and vineyards on the surrounding hills - there are many wineries within a half hour drive of Paso Robles, and the Pacific Ocean is only 25 miles away, at places like Cambria or Morro Bay. As expected for a Courtyard, the staff are friendly & efficient, all the rooms are clean, spacious & well designed, and the hotel has a good range of amenities, principally a 24 hour fitness center, outdoor pool, hot tub, and the Courtyard Cafe which is open for breakfast & dinner.

Right next to the Best Western, at 2455 Riverside Ave, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel Paso Robles is a modern 73 room, 18 suite building on 3 floors, close to Highway 101 and the town center. Wine is one of the main reasons people visit Paso Robles, and over 200 vineyards are within an hour's drive of the Holiday Inn, many along route 46 to the east and west. Leisure pursuits are well catered for by a health/fitness center, sports court, indoor pool and whirlpool. As well as being large and comfortable, the rooms are well equipped with microwave & refrigerator, coffee maker & ironing facilities.

The Best Western hotel in Paso Robles caters for north-south travelers along US 101 as well as those visiting the over 200 nearby wineries in the sunny foothills of the Santa Lucia mountains. The Black Oak Motor Lodge is just off the highway at the 24th St exit and a few blocks away from the main road through Paso Robles (Spring St), close enough to walk to shops & restaurants there, though the hotel has its own restaurant on site - Margie's Diner, open for breakfast, lunch & diner. The nearest bar is right next door. The 110 rooms are on 2 floors, in the standard motel design linked by exterior corridors, though accommodation is spacious and modern, and the hotel has an above average pool area, embellished by trees, tropical plants & flowers. Other guest amenities are a hot tub, children's playground, sauna, guest laundry and a barbeque area.
