Holy smokes!! This place look quite cute and quaint from the exterior...but it was not this way for long. I called prior to arriving and spoke to a man to check availability. The man did not speak very good English and could not answer my questions about amenities and hung up on me after asking a question. But we thought, hey for $45 it is at least a deal. Upon arrival the man acting like were inconveniencing him by wanting to get a room. We asked about local restaurants and he had no knowledge of the area and stated he only ate Indian food that he cooked. I was annoyed at that point, but it gets worse. We got to our room, it was about 105 degrees in there and reeked of musk and mold. First thing we did was check the sheets. They looked decent so we decided to stay. We then turned on the light and the walls were jacked, mold in the shower-BAD, bugs in bathroom and especially on window seal, fleas and flea eggs mostly. My husband ended up cleaning up the room so we could stay. I didn't see the reviews prior, but I hope when looking for a place to stay in paso, you will read this and it will detour from staying here.

We arrived in Paso Robles late in the afternoon on our way from San Francisco to LA. We usually stay in Hampton Inn but it was fully booked. This place looked clean from the outside so we took a chance. Guys at the counter were characters but were friendly enough. However, there was definitely bed bugs in out room. Realized we had bites all over us the next day when we made it to LA. Spent a day washing all of our stuff and vacuuming out our suit cases.

This is a place to definitely NOT go. Just because it has a fancy name does NOT mean it is a fancy place to stay. Despite reading all the previous reviews, we still ended up there.

Upon arriving, it did look rather 'shabby' but we thought we'd give it a shot. But by 2am we were out the door and onto a Holiday Inn Express. And what got us out of the place were the BUGS in the bed. In the two beds there were at least bugs each in them. I'm sorry, the cleaning staff had to know there were bugs there, they weren't tiny things, big enough to be seen.

PLEASE, take this into consideration when going there... bugs do NOT belong in a bed!

The outside of this dive motel looks much more charming in photographs than in real life. The room (#7) was so disgusting! There was blood and other bodily fluids on the comforters, no matress pads on the beds, the carpet was filthy with debris like it hadn't been vacuumed in weeks, the toilet tank was coming out of the wall with plaster coming off in chunks, the towels were dirty, the shower mildewed, holes in the walls, questionable substance in the toilet. We immediately went back to the office to complain and they insisted the room had been cleaned. They refused to give us a refund and we asked to talk to the owner, who they called. The owner refused to talk to us and refused to give us a refund. I've stayed in $5 hostels in third world countries that were MUCH nicer than this! Thank god our friends who were staying in the beautiful Paso Robles Inn got a free upgrade to a suite so we high tailed it over there and shared their suite! I paid with American Express and have filed a dispute so hopefully I will get my refund.
