Hotels near Pier 1, Paso Robles

Great bang for the buck. Large, clean room with fireplace; great shower; fairly quiet (and we were right off the lobby next to the restaurant). Plenty of parking. Very convenient after visiting westside wineries. Easily one of our favorite stays in Paso.

Date Arrived: Saturday, July 22nd, 2023 Date Checked Out: Sunday, July 23rd, 2023 Time Arrived: around 11:45pm Time Checked Out: around 11am Room Type: 1 King Bed Nonsmoking Room Number: 306 The hubby and I were meeting up some friends for the weekend in Paso Robles. Since I had to wait until he got off work, we arrived rather late. Ended up using the digital key thing thru the app. In the morning, I asked for a real key for the hubs since he doesn't have the app on his phone. We picked up some fast food on the way down, so basically just ate and slept. There was a table with enough room for all our food. (We get a fair amount of fast food for the two of us.) In the morning, I checked out the breakfast and grabbed some coffee. They had a decent spread - omelets, turkey sausage, hash browns, muffins, toast, yogurt, fruit, cereal, hard boiled eggs, waffle station, etc. We had planned on going to Justin on Sunday, so I picked his hotel due to the proximity and my Hilton loyalty program. Used 60k points. Otherwise, I think that night was going for like $400 something. I am Diamond status, but wasn't upgraded or anything. Not sure if they would have upgraded me anyways, but we didn't check in with a person. Just thru the app and headed straight to the room with the digital key. Fine hotel if staying in Paso. Bed was comfy. Room was clean. What I expected for a Hampton Inn. Plus, the breakfast seemed a little better than other Hamptons I've been to.

We stayed here for one night on our way down to Southern California. We have stayed here several times over the years and have always has a good experienced. This time, they were in the middle of a renovation, which had taken out the entire lobby and the second floor of the hotel. Clearly this means that things were moved around a bit and the hotel and staff did everything possible to make sure guests were as inconvenienced as possible. They were well set up and worked hard to minimize noise. I'd particularly like to give a shout out to Beth who was at the front desk when we arrived and several times over our stay. She was beyond welcoming and did everything she should to assist us with our questions and needs. She was polite, attentive and cheerful despite the chaos going on around her and the disruption to her workplace. I'll continue to stop and stay here on my travels down south.

Great place to stay in Paso. Walk to old town with lots of cute shops and great restaurants. Also have a restaurant and full bar on the property. Hotel is old and some of the rooms are on the small side but the beds are very comfortable and the grounds are so cute.

Not worth the Exorbitant price. Northern European-style feel (rooms surround patio which has a nice feel to it with natural social noise), and bad service and amenities also feel European (non-functional, non-existing). High American price. Contrary to the reviews which mislead me, this is not an upscale boutique. The good: you don’t see cleaning staff anywhere, even on day of checkout, so it feels like your own place. Privacy is honored. Full length mirror with adequate lighting for make-up application. ( and you will need it because the bathroom is not a good place to do this) Excellent TV, all cable Channels, and smooth remote for navigating channels, hot water kettle in room with mugs! Great quiet high-quality refrigerator. No microwave. Awesome location. Quiet neighborhood. Small hotel makes it easy to navigate. Parking on street can be easy on weekdays so not forced to valet, but it’s there if you need it. The bad: Not dark at night with too much light even with blackout curtains. Very Uncomfortable sink, uncomfortable outlets for charging or for hairdryer-you need to move furniture to access. Not built by anyone who has personally stayed in a hotel. Room does not feel welcoming and I wanted to leave. Impossible for hair or soap to fall off your body due to the low water pressure. You will waste more water in the end because you will be in there for an hour trying to finish your shower with the trickle of water. Do not book if you want to shower. I would never book here again. Front desk is just there for a job but they don’t understand the hotel industry (which is fine, but if you have a problem, it isn’t). No response if you need anything. Bad service and overall amenities are not convenient. Best people there are outside near the valet, the Doormen—they are awesome. But does that matter once you step into the hotel? Place does not feel welcoming, but it isn't horrible. Would have been good for an average price.

This is a relatively modern and very clean property; we had a family room which included a small kitchen area and sofa as well as two good sized beds. We could not fault the room or the quality of service, and the included breakfast was great for the price. The only things that detracted from our stay were (1) some very loud neighbours after the state fair and (2) our disappointment that Paso Robles itself was not quite as interesting as the marketing had led us to expect but neither of these were things that Holiday Inn could control. We were on a US West Coast road trip and this was to break up our journey from Carmel to Santa Barbara. If we do a similar trip in future we’ll stay in Morro Bay instead.

This past weekend, our family decided to take a last, little, weekend vacation. Our decision turned out to be an exciting opportunity to relax and discover a little more about our beautiful state. BestWestern Plus Black Oak in Paso Robles, CA turned out to be a great addition to our adventure. From the very welcoming and friendly staff note to wish us great staff to the cool pool and comfortable beds, staying here made us feel welcome, secure, and wanting to return soon. Thank you very much for your dedication to making sure we had a memorable time.

I stayed for three nights and this is what I have to say: The room was spacious and super clean. They do room service every day without asking. The office hosts will asked to write the names of all guest and car plate number. Too many construction trucks (big and wide) on one day I had a bit of a hard time exiting the parking. On one night there was a group of men outside next to my room smoking weed so I told the front desk and they immediately resolve the issue. I saw at least one homeless person each day outside of hotel but there was also police around the area and I did feel safe walking during day time. The pool was fun my kids had fun. No breakfast included but there is great food within walking distance.

Just a few blocks north of downtown, in an industrial area, but a very short couple minute drive to downtown. Very nice rooms, nice free breakfast in the morning, with controls to make sure you are staying in the hotel to get access. I would highly recommend in Paso.

We booked 6 months prior for a girls trip for 1 week. 4 of us for our 60th birthday. We requested two rooms next to one another or at least close. You failed miserably and I’m so disappointed. After many visits, I brought my entire friend group for a 60th birthday celebration for the 4 of us. Our only request, rooms next to one another or close. You assigned us rooms not nearly close and on different floors. We stayed for a week!!! I have brought my family and friends to enjoy your resort on several occasions and I will no longer promote your resort. You embarrassed me and impacted the enjoyment of our trip. You have a great product. Get it together!!! You’re a high dollar organization. You should be able to accommodate a simple request. Or…say you cant!!! You have lost a loyal customer Ayer’s. A Very Disappointed, Margaret Parent .
