The Ava Hotel Paso Robles, Curio Collection by Hilton

Love the location and design of the lobby. Great pool, love the restaurant upstairs, love the plants and stylish decor. Staff is excellent and so nice! I wanted to give 5 stars but we found the beds to be very uncomfortable (very firm mattress, extremely firm and thick pillows). Staff said all the rooms get two synthetic and two feather pillows, as we did. We found them so overfilled and too tall to sleep without hurting your neck. They gave us some extras to see if any were different but they are all seen to be identical. Also, the shower water is warm but not hot, which was weird. Oh, and there's a really bright nightlight by the door that illuminates the room like a midnight sun. We rigged a cover for it that helped somewhat. Really want to give 5 stars but sleep and showers are so important in a hotel! If you like hard mattresses and you bring your own pillows this hotel would be great.

I reserved four rooms for our stay and was impressed by the cleanliness, maintenance, and amenities. While I wasn’t certain if we received Diamond status upgrades, the facility felt fresh and modern.||A few logistical points: street parking was full, so we used the self-pay lot. It would be a great perk if Diamond members received complimentary parking in these instances. Additionally, the breakfast credit was confusing; as a Diamond member, I only received a $30 credit for two of the three rooms under my name. I’d love more clarity on how these credits are applied to multiple reservations.||On a high note, Matt and Sean provided exceptional service, patiently answering all my questions. ||Because of the quality of the facility and the great staff, I would stay here again.

Checking in was straightforward and didn’t feel anything special. We stayed over the Christmas holiday. I would have expected to have the front desk to suggest events or activities happening during our stay upon checkin. The app chat was more interactive than the front desk. I think there are other benefits available to us but it was not communicated when I checked in. ||Housekeeping staff was responsive and very professional. ||This is a newly built hotel but I find that there are some fixtures that were not properly installed. For example the faucet was a bit loose and same with the lamp overhead. It is a minor but if not done properly it will be worn out or broken soon. I think that the final design walkthrough was not properly inspected.||There are paid Self- Parking and Valet. You can do street parking and I think it is safe since the Police station is across to the hotel. Adjacent to Paso Robles train station.||Lastly, we booked over Amex Travel Hotel Collection. Usually we get a special welcome letter and lists services or credits we have. As well as interesting tidbits about the hotel and the area.

I’m giving this hotel three stars instead of five because the breakfast was very good. First, upon check in my elderly parents and I had to wait roughly 25 minutes because noone was at the front desk and a note was left stating “they be back soon,” photo included. First I find the unprofessional especially when one arrives tired and ready to get their room. Second we are given a room on the 2nd floor and the beds were awful I’m not sure if it was because it was a disability room or what but the beds and pillows were a nightmare! I had to call the front desk to inquire what type of pillows these were because my neck was killing me and I wasn’t even able to sleep my last night there including my mom. We slept awful! Third, I’m a Hilton gold status and you get free water with your stay and one of the nights the housekeeper forgot to replace them and I called the front desk and their response was “you only get that water if your a silver status” and I reminded them that I know the regulations with the water and know I’m entitled to the free water as it is stated on the water when I checked in! Fourth, we asked for additional towels and it legit took over 30 minutes to arrive. As an AMEX cardholder I attempted to request a late check out for myself and folks and was immediately told no given they gad reached full capacity for late check outs. Overall the customer service as this location was simply awful and the beds were just terrible! The only good thing in this hotel was the breakfast burrito! I def would not stay here again.

The hotel location is a block to Downtown City Park and a short walk to some of the best restaurants in Paso Robles. Hotel suites are pleasantly decorated with wood floors in the living/dining space and cozy carpet in the bedroom area. The bathroom is spacious and although there’s only one sink in the master bedroom, there’s a good amount of space on both sides of the sink. Great lighting throughout the suite. Plenty of closet space and two luggage racks (thank you). Nespresso machine in the room is convenient. Wish they had real half-and-half though instead of the Carnation creamers. The housekeeping service is practically perfect. The facial soap was removed without being replaced but we had an extra water closet so was able to take the soap from there. Ran out of facial tissue - not sure why a spare box was unavailable and didn’t bother calling for an extra box. At least there was a spare toilet paper roll. Plenty of towels though - and this was greatly appreciated. The Esperanza restaurant on the second floor has a great rooftop bar and I can envision how fun that space is during warmer weather since the bar is adjacent to the pool area. During the wintertime visit, it was great to see space heaters for this open space, outdoor dining area but too cold in December to dine without a space heater. There weren’t enough but maybe those are coming. The hotel recently opened. For the bistro on the ground floor - Ava Hotel should consider (a) window coverings to cover the harsh morning sun, (b) turning down the air conditioning so there isn’t a draft on guests dining in the few comfortable table seating spaces available, (c) add more tables instead of the coffee table spaces (tables are too low to eat a meal while comfortably seated), (d) relocate the printed menus so guests aren’t gathered in front of the register to grab a menu to place their order and (e) please reconsider asking for a tip BEFORE being seated and BEFORE dining. Would come back because it’s a well-appointed hotel that is conveniently located in Paso Robles.

Wonderful new hotel, 2 easy blocks from the town square. I really enjoyed the rooftop bar. I was upgraded to a room next to the pool, but I could not really enjoy it as much because of the rain during my stay. I did not eat at the lobby restaurant for breakfast as I found two other nearby restaurants that offered a menu that was more to my liking.

We frequent Paso Robles to enjoy a quick getaway. Ava is a new addition to the downtown square area. It is a Hilton, but was told that it was locally owned. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The registration parking is in the back of the hotel, so you need to enter at a driveway at the far end of the hotel. There is a parking fee for valet ($30 per day), but also a fee to self park ($20 per day) in the lot next to the hotel. Charging to park your car always seems like nickel-and-diming the guest. It is a hotel and most people must drive here to stay. It is worth the upgrade fee to get a room on an upper floor facing the street as it is probably quieter than a room in the back or street level. Across the street is a Safety Center that houses the police and fire stations. There was never an issue with them using sirens, or perhaps they didn’t have any calls while we were there. The room was spacious and comfortable. In the room was a counter with a sink, and a mini refrigerator. The refrigerator did not have any small freezer area to keep an ice pack frozen. The only issue I had with the room was in the bathroom. The counter was small with one sink, and not much room for any toiletries; while the shower head was very high and was facing the wall, but we could not reach it to redirect the spray more conveniently into the shower space. One nice feature was the secure elevator where you needed to use your room key to activate it. We did not eat in the restaurant as the menu did not have anything that appealed to us. The restaurant has only been open a couple of months and is working on perfecting their menu. There was no lounge area in the bar area to sit and have a drink, just the high chair and tables that were quite uncomfortable. Their selection of whiskeys was limited, but they are working on filling that in. I would stay here again, but would also compare prices and amenities with the many choices in the area.

Absolutely phenomenal stay at the Ava Hotel in Paso Robles! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this place is the epitome of luxury. The rooms are nothing short of spectacular—spacious, beautifully designed, and so comfortable. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, and the bathroom felt like a spa with high-end fixtures, file showers, and plush towels that added that extra touch of indulgence. The front desk staff truly went above and beyond, offering a warm, welcoming vibe from the start. They were so attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area, ensuring we had everything we needed and even helping with local recommendations. Their personal touch made us feel like VIP guests the entire time. Now, let’s talk about the food and drinks. With two on-property restaurants and bars, the Ava Hotel knows how to do dining right. Every cocktail we had was expertly crafted, and the food was out of this world. Whether we were enjoying a creative drink at the bar or indulging in a gourmet meal, each bite and sip was a culinary experience. The attention to detail and local ingredients truly made every meal special. The Ava Hotel blends impeccable room quality with outstanding service, making it the perfect place for a luxury getaway in Paso Robles. Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful hotel and conveniently located by the town green! We love the walking distance to the town center. We loved our stay here; well kept facility. The staff were approachable and friendly. Sean, was a nice welcome after a long drive. He was polite and friendly; he greeted all guests equally and was eager to help. We love how he remained jovial despite seeing that there was a sudden influx of guests. When we asked him about the parking situation, especially with the limited disabled spots, he gladly walked with us instead of just barking out instructions. He entertained our small talk while he was checking us in; he gave us nice little info about Paso and gave us great suggestions for couples and for families with kids. Moreover, my husband and I love to stay in any of Hilton's Curio and Tapestry collections. We love how they design every hotel with its own unique feel based on the local characteristics and history of where they're located; and The Ava did not disappoint. Every space and corner was well thought of, from the moment you enter in their beautiful lobby up to our room. Also, we love their bar and lounge areas. My husband and I like to check out our hotel's bar to finish off our night. We enjoy taking our time sitting there enjoying the fireplace and mingling with other hotel guests who are also enjoying their night cap. Overall, We really enjoyed our stay here and we will be coming back when we're in town.

The Ava Hotel is a new boutique Hilton-branded hotel that recently opened in the heart of downtown Paso Robles. It opened in August 2025 and is minutes away from the downtown city park and all that Paso Robles has to offer. You can either do self parking for $20/night or valet parking for $30. There is also free street parking if you can find a spot. There is no EV parking although there are many within a short distance from the hotel. Our room was on the top floor (4th) and the interior was unsurprisingly modern and new; it was cozy and comforting. One thing is that the Amtrak train runs right by the hotel so you might hear it if your room faces that side; however during the night we didn't hear it. The hotel has two upscale restaurants (EMRE and Esperanza), a rooftop pool and bar/lounge, and a hotel bar on the lobby that also doubles as a coffee shop during the day (Pine Street Bistro). The hotel also has a fitness center, meeting spaces, and pet-friendly rooms. The day that we checked in there was live music in the lobby as well as complimentary wine tasting. I'm not sure if it's because the hotel has opened recently but we received a $10 credit per night that could be used at the coffee shop or the restaurant which was a nice bonus. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and really liked that it was so conveniently located.

This place is pretty great. Comfy rooms, comfier beds, great service, and you won't find a better location to explore Paso. Not much else to say...Although the electric plugs are ridiculously difficult. All good though - you can just plug into the couch.

We stayed at the AVA Hotel, which apparently just opened a few weeks before our visit -- our Uber driver even mentioned it's the new "hot spot," especially because of the rooftop restaurant. We got to try the rooftop for dinner, and it was really cute! We sat by the fire, which was nice, though the seating was incredibly uncomfortable -- even for just grabbing a drink. The service was great; everyone was friendly and attentive. I actually enjoyed the coffee shop in the lounge even more -- plenty of comfy seating and the same kind service. Overall, it's a stylish new spot with lots of potential. Hopefully it continues to thrive as they settle in!

My husband and I stayed at The Ava Hotel in Paso Robles over the holiday weekend. We loved that it was conveniently located next to the square and has three restaurants attached to it, each with a very different feel. The lobby was beautifully decorated and the rooms felt clean and brand spanking new. We had a couple of memorable dinners, as well. For New Years, we went to ESME and enjoyed the most fabulous cocktails, delicious skewers, and super yummy pita bread and eggplant spread. The hummus was to die for - so creamy and delicious with some crunch from roasted chickpeas. Esperanza was also crazy good and had more of a Latin flavor, with awesome burritos, tacos, and margs. Unfortunately, it was raining, so didn't get to spend any time in the pool, but we visited the fitness center everyday and it was never too crowded and had the best water lol. #hottip. If you are traveling from SoCal up to NorCal or NorCal down to SoCal this is the perfect spot on the Central Coast.

Our stay at this new Hilton was excellent! The location is just a block away from the corner of the main city park. We enjoyed the designer room, quietness and the lobby coffee cafe. I would recommend staying here.

This is a new hotel and it definitely doesn't disappoint!!! Everything here has been totally amazing. Great the staff is wonderful and I found a great bartender and bartender is an understatement. Mixologist !!!

I have heard a lot mixed reviews on the upstairs bar, so we decided to check it out ourselves. It is a beautiful bar area and it was pretty busy. We were met right away and seated with menus and water. So far, so good. And then the first drinks came out. The AVA Frothy Margarita was terrible. Not in a Margarita glass, no salt on the rim and the drink itself was just not good. We ordered a couple of appetizers and decided to order Gin and Tonics with house gin. The house gin was just awful. I sent mine back and ordered Bombay. The Guacamole and chips were ok. Bagged chips from Taco Works; big serving of Guacamole, but it wasn't anything to write home about. The Carnitas fries were very good. They still haven't been open very long, so they need to have the Bar Manager review some of their bar options. The only reason I didn't give them 2stars was because of the great service we had from Kaity. She was so friendly. We questioned her as to why our bar bill said $14 for Gin and then $2 for the tonic. Weird! How about just a $16 G&T? Happy Hour starts at 5:30!!! What???? That's getting close to dinner hour. We thought we were there for Happy Hour. I guess we should have asked. I probably won't go back.....or maybe next year.

Our stay at the Ava Hotel in Paso was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming, stylish, and comfortable--exactly what we were hoping for during our Paso Robles trip. The rooms are modern, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly clean, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring wine country. A special shout-out to Eric Smith, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made us feel like valued guests. Whether it was offering great local recommendations or helping us with small details, Eric's service stood out and elevated our entire experience. If you're planning a trip to Paso, I can't recommend the Ava Hotel enough. Between the beautiful accommodations and the exceptional staff (especially Eric!), this is definitely where we'll be staying again.

Loved the location, really great to have a full-service hotel in this area. Looking forward to returning again.

The Esperanza restaurant was fabulous. Great food and drinks! Can't wait to return and enjoy the environment again!

We had a great stay at the Ava Hotel- the location is near the town square and the hotel is lovely. We enjoyed some awesome cocktails at the Esperanza rooftop bar as well as the carnitas fries (OMG). The rooms were quiet and comfortable. I'm picky about bedding and the Ava nailed it with their choices. We can't wait to go back! Next time we will come with friends and stay longer.

We stayed two nights. We had a beautiful room. The staff we're all so gracious and helpful. The rooftop bar was lovely. They could work on the menu little bit, but all in all we were very happy with our stay and would not hesitate to return. PS lots of fun walking around downtown Paso Robles wine tasting.

Such a beautiful hotel! We had a great stay and will definitely be back. Esperanza on the rooftop had such a fun vibe and the carnitas fries are a must.

Stopped here to check out the rooftop bar and came across the bellman Vincent who led the way to the restaurant. Local young man with exceptional manners. Showed us around the hotel and made sure we felt comfortable and got us where we wanted to be. Thanks Vince!

Did a staycation here at this new hotel and I saw a lot of pictures online and let me tell you some of those pictures weren't even of that hotel. I was excited because it seemed like in the picture there was a big pool but all I saw when I stayed was a tiny pool that you can't even swim in. I was very disappointed and they didn't even have my room ready when I was suppose to check in

10/10 it was absolutely incredible!! It's the perfect hotel for visiting Paso Robles. The staff was super attentive and the pool area and rooftop bar was the perfect hang out with friends
