Finding a Room in Paso Robles
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Paso Robles, California.
Paso Robles is a picturesque city situated halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles in California’s wine country. Tourists are drawn to the area for the beautiful weather, scenic landscape and endless opportunities for relaxation and recreation. Visitors can explore the natural areas, wander through the city’s museums, browse through eclectic shops or play a few rounds at one of the scenic golf courses. The city also hosts many events throughout the year including the Paso Robles Wine Festival in May, California Mid-State Fair in July, and the Harvest Wine Tour in October.
Paso Robles is particularly well known for its waters and wine. Hot springs and mud baths were discovered and developed in the 1800s and were the reason that tourists first came to the area. The springs were enclosed by a bathouse, which became part of a hotel and here the therapeutic waters of the hot springs can still be enjoyed by visitors. Outside, as the warm California sun warms the air, gentle breezes blow over the vineyards surrounding Paso Robles. Over 75 wineries are located in and around the city and most offer tastings and have restaurants that pair delectable meals with each special vintage. Wine connoisseurs are increasingly drawn to this area, one of the fastest growing areas of wine production in the state.
A wide range of options lets tourists choose the lodging best suited to their budget and preference, close to downtown or off the beaten track.
STAYING DOWNTOWN
Downtown stretches north-south along the westside of Highway 101. Budget-conscious travelers may want to consider staying in an economy chain on the north end of downtown. These hotels feature clean, comfortable rooms and a number of complimentary services and amenities, including in-room coffee and tea, breakfast, and access to a high-speed wireless Internet connection.
Several mid-range accommodations can be found along Spring Street, particularly near the historic district, an area between Tenth Street and Fourteenth Street tightly packed with attractions, restaurants and shops. Many of these hotels have dedicated activity desks, or alternatively, friendly front desk staff that can help guests plan their day with information, maps and brochures. Notably, The Paso Robles Inn is the site of Paso Robles’ original mineral hot springs. The warm therapeutic waters are now piped into many of the guest rooms for privacy, as well as public indoor and outdoor pools and plunge baths.
ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATIONS
Visitors who want to enjoy Paso Robles in a more personal and private setting can consider one of the many alternative accommodations, including bed and breakfasts.
