Q + A

TRANSPORTATION

If you’re driving from the East Bay/SF, Templeton is about 3.5 hours South.

The closest airport is SLO County Airport, about 40 minutes from downtown Paso Robles. This airport is small and doesn't have a ton of flights, but is a good option if you don't want to rent a car. The closest major airports are San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose (all within a 3.5 hour drive). San Jose is the closest of the three. You can also fly into Los Angeles and drive to Paso Robles, which also takes about 3.5 hours.

ACCOMMODATIONS

This is where we’re staying!! We have a limited room block at this hotel, but its still our top choice in terms of location, affordability, and offerings!
