Hand-etched glasswork of a local vineyard, custom hand-painted tables imported from Italy, and an upscale wine shop in the lobby are the first signs that Paso Robles’ La Quinta Inn & Suites is not a typical chain hotel. Perhaps the di fference begins with the fact that this property featuring 138 guest rooms and suites is owned by Arciero & Sons. Frank Arciero also founded EOS Estate Winery. The inn is seamlessly run by General Manager Victor Popp and a dedicated sta ff who are eager to give each guest a wonderful wine country experience.
Guests can expect to find all of the fine amenities La Quinta properties are known for and more. The standard guest rooms feature granite tubs and countertops, flat-screen TVs, overstu ffed duvets, refrigerators, microwaves, ceramic co ffee mugs, and glass wine glasses. Each morning a free buffet breakfast is served, and each weeknight there’s a themed wine and gourmet cheese reception, graciously hosted by Victor.
In 2016 La Quinta Inn & Suites observed its tenth anniversary. As part of the celebration, the property opened a brand-new wing featuring 37 exquisite Villa Suites. These luxurious accommodations include full kitchens, 10-foot ceilings, elegant electric fireplaces, and 49-inch televisions. The new suites offer an ideal solution for guests seeking more space and long-stay accommodations.
“As a wine family hotel, we strive to provide our guests with all the amenities of an upscale home as they experience wine country. That’s why we created our new Villa Suites,” Victor says.
The 500-square-foot wine shop o ffers an impressive selection of more than 100 local wines, including the inn’s own custom-made wine released in June 2012, along with many wine related gift items.
With this level of dedication to its guests, it’s not surprising that this La Quinta Inn was named 2011 Franchise Inn of the Year by the La Quinta corporate o ffice and awarded a 2015 TripAdvisor Hall of Fame Certificate of Excellence.
