Paso Robles Hotels

Courtyard by Marriott Paso Robles is a relatively new hotel, located right at the south end of town along Vine Street, 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 Bistro restaurant which is open for breakfast & dinner.

The Oaks Hotel, a member of the upscale Ascend Collection from Choice Hotels, is part of a row of shops and other businesses on the west side of US 101 near the Hwy 46 intersection, just north of downtown Paso Robles, also within walking distance of several restaurants. The tree-lined Salinas River flows past a short distance away, on the far side of the freeway. The hotel has an outdoor pool at the front and plenty of parking spaces all around, while inside, amenities are a restaurant (Indulge), meeting space and a business center. Full breakfast is complimentary.

Hilton are represented in Paso Robles by the Hampton Inn, a modern, well managed property with an easily reached location at the south edge of town by the intersection of Hwy 46 with US 101, set back slightly from both roads and so offering a quiet place to stay.

Also close by, within walking distance, is a shopping complex with restaurants and several large stores. The main amenities are free hot breakfast, an outdoor pool, fitness center, business center and meeting space for up to 100 people.

Leisure pursuits are well catered for by a health/fitness center, sports court, indoor saltwater pool and whirlpool. As well as being large and comfortable, the rooms are well equipped with microwave & refrigerator, coffee maker & ironing facilities. Free hot breakfast is prepared each morning, and a free beer/wine reception weekday evenings.

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.
