"This is the honest truth -- we just spent three nights in the famous Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie, WA, and this property is better maintained, the rooms are nicer, and the amenities are better (Hello -- breakfast is included here but not at the Salish??).
All for $130 vs. $400+/night at the Salish.
This La Quinta was built with comfort in mind. The room had plenty of space, a desk, a small sofa and coffee table, and the huge bathroom had DOUBLE sinks! I cannot tell you how useful double sinks with plenty of counter space is. Extra points awarded for having plenty of towels, a large bottle of lotion, and a trash can in the toilet area, not the sink area.
The floors were LVP, which was fine with me. Some might prefer carpet, but LVP is easier to keep clean, and the room was really clean.
There was also a refrigerator, microwave, and coffeemaker in the room, and my only complaint is that the fridege had no freezer compartment to freeze ice packs for the cooler we always travel with.
There's a nice pool, a large lobby area that hosts happy hour in the evenings, and a nice dining area for the breakfast spread. The hotel also has tons of parking, so getting a spot isn't an issue.
This is located a mile or so from downtown Paso Robles, but don't skip this amazing area. Downtown has galleries, restaurants galore, and a beautiful town square. Of course there are wineries all around, and keep an eye out for Terrace Hill Olive Oil in some of the shops. It's spectacular stuff."
