Each room’s microwave and fridge make late-night snacking easy.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is more of a quiet retreat than a nightlife hub—but that’s part of the charm. It’s an easy drive to downtown Atascadero, where you’ll find local breweries, wine bars, and low-key lounges. If you’re looking to keep the night going, you won’t have to go far.

Guests love the clean rooms, friendly staff, and quiet atmosphere. Many praise the generous breakfast spread and the convenience of amenities like the pool and gym. Travelers also appreciate the hotel’s location close to shops and local attractions.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel is reliable and clean, it’s not the most walkable location for nightlife. You’ll likely need a car or rideshare for late-night outings, and there’s no bar or restaurant on-site. Still, many guests find it worth it for the peace and value.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a quiet, comfy, and affordable place to recharge after a concert, Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Atascadero hits the right note.
