Thproughly enjoyed our stay at Beach House - we'll definitely be back. Stayed in the Aloha Mahalo room on 3rd floor which has a great ocean view and private balcony with comfortable patio furniture. The hotel was quiet, had private parking and was close to the beach, pier, dining and shops. Staff was polite and friendly. The king size bed was very comfortable, the room has a nice gas fireplace plus a convenient kitchenette with large refrigerator, microwave and coffeepot. The room exceeded our expectations and made our Pismo stay memorable. Note: Bathroom has limited counterspace

We absolutely loved our stay at Paso Robles Inn! From the moment we arrived, everything was wonderful. Our room ( 1889 House King) was very spacious, spotless, and comfortable, which made our stay even more relaxing. The breakfast was amazing, with plenty of delicious options, and the pool and jacuzzi were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Paso Robles. Everything was clean and well maintained. We also loved the restaurant at the hotel ( Cattlemen’s Bar) the food was excellent and it was so convenient to have such a great restaurant right on the property. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would definitely stay here again. The only downside was that Expedia said we would get a free wine bottle per stay and that was not offered when we checked in but no big deal. I would definitely recommend Paso Robles Inn and can’t wait to go back.
