Review of The Piccolo
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Dec 2024
When planning a Central Coast getaway for Thanksgiving week, the accommodations choice for Paso Robles was easy...A return visit to The Piccolo! This small and quaint boutique hotel is located right in the middle of everything! The best restaurants, lounges and clubs are minutes away (when you actually want to leave the hotel...). Our pre-arrival requests were addressed and we received a warm welcome by Cammie at the front desk. We also had the pleasure this visit to meet Martin Beckett, Director of Hospitality. You can see why the Piccolo staff is so enthusiastic and accommodating...It starts at the top! The rooms are configured in a way that make them feel larger than they are (I say that as an Architect...) and there is always a welcome treat and lovely bottle of wine waiting for you. A plentiful breakfast buffet is offered every morning and does not disappoint. We are currently searching for our next home in Paso but for now...The Piccolo feels like home to us. Highly recommended!

PS...Already planning our next visit this spring...Can't wait!

Steven and David,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind review! It was such a pleasure getting to know you and David during your stay, and I’m delighted to hear that The Piccolo continues to feel like home for you. We truly value the personal connections we make with our guests, and I’m thrilled that you enjoyed your time with us during Thanksgiving week.

We can’t wait to welcome you back in the spring for your next visit. Until then, I hope the search for your Paso Robles home goes smoothly. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can assist with anything in the future.

- Martin Beckett.

Housekeeping-Terrible. Upon arrival a sheet was missing. Next day our 1/2 full dirty coffee cups in the room were not replaced.

Amenities-I can't recall the last time I stayed in a room that didn't have cotton swabs. The pillows were awful (solid piece of cotton or foam, not shredded for flexibility).

Room-Reasonably spacious. No art on room walls. Cheap furnishings, nightstand didn't sit level unless it was moved too far from the bed. Nice clock. Closet had about a one foot rod to hang garments. Limited electrical outlets. There was a Keurig coffee maker, but bring your own coffee pods (I didn't like theirs). Luckily the has Casting available to the TV.

Hospitality-Valet staff kept this from being a one star rating. They were great! The front staff were meh. One of the gals spoke so quickly that I had trouble understanding her. When I complained about housekeeping, all I got was "I'm sorry, I will note it," but didn't ask the room number or my name.

Value-At $600 per night on Friday and Saturday, I expected much more. Better pillows, ironed sheets (appears they use "no wrinkle sheets, but they had wrinkles and looked slept in upon check-in).

Concierge-They recommended we eat at Parchetto Bistro. It was OK, but didn't live up to the hype. Also we received three separate texts from the hotel at inopportune times to welcome us.

Room tip: Bring your own Keurig K-cups to suit your taste to use with in-room coffee maker. .

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We’re truly sorry that your recent stay did not meet your expectations. We take all guest feedback seriously as it allows us to improve and provide a better experience.

Regarding housekeeping, we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you faced, from the missing sheet to coffee cups not being replaced. We’ve already reviewed these points with our team to ensure greater attention to detail in every guestroom.

We appreciate your feedback on amenities as well. Our goal is to make each stay as comfortable as possible, and we’ll look into enhancing the amenities and bedding options, as well as adding extra touches like cotton swabs and pillows that suit various preferences.

We’re pleased to hear you found the room spacious and that the TV casting feature was convenient. However, your comments on furnishings and closet space are noted, and we’re reviewing ways to enhance both functionality and design in our rooms.

It’s wonderful to hear that the valet team made such a positive impression! However, we regret that the rest of your hospitality experience did not match this standard. Please be assured that we are addressing communication with our front desk team to provide a more welcoming and personalized experience.

We strive to provide value that matches our rates, and your comments on areas such as linen quality and concierge service are being taken into consideration. We apologize if the recommendation did not meet expectations, and for any inconvenience caused by our check-in text messages.

Thank you, we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the exceptional experience we’re known for.

We were at the Roof Top Bar, best night. Luke was our bartender. Amazing. Ask for him! So much fun! Ask Luke for his recommendations on beverages. Paso Robles and The Piccolo are the best places to travel to. Great stories! Best part of our trip!!!

We had a wonderful stay at The Piccolo in Paso Robles for wine tasting and exploring the area. The entire concierge staff including Annabell, Grace and Rachel were a great source in suggesting a winery route, site seeing must dos and restaurants and then making all needed reservations. Jon at the front desk welcomed us and was also helpful. Loved the happy hour and turndown service. Highly recommend The Piccolo. Plan to be back!

While the rooms are Very, Very nice, the super friendly staff, the "walk to everything location" and the gorgeous rooftop bar are what make The Piccolo special!

I know it is a complete coincidence, but every staff member we dealt with had a first name that begin with "M"!

I made the reservation with an "M" who was super informative, "M" (bellman) went out of his way our entire visit to be welcoming and helpful, "M" at the front desk always knew what we needed to know plus always had tokens available for the champagne vending machine :-), and "M" (director of hospitality) kept everything humming along perfectly.

Quite frankly, our only complaint was the limited sky bar hours early in the week... that said, we had it all to ourselves two nights, brought our own bottle of Harmony Vineyards wine and didn't have a single complaint... the view of the town and the sunset is stunning!

Don't let the antique appearance of the building fool you, everything is brand spanking new!

Will we back? Absolutely!!!

We were very pleased with our stay! The staff were very nice, the room was beautiful, and housekeeping was outstanding! It was so convenient to walk only a block or so to the park and lots of shops and restaurants. The only thing a bit disappointing was slowness of their concierge service for hotel reservations, but since that's something we can easily do ourselves, next time we'd just do that. Would definitely stay there again! (and...champagne vending machine!!!)

Room tip: The pool/spa service is through a sister hotel next door, not in this hotel itself. We didn't try it out.
