The Carlton is beautiful. The brass, wood trims, the tile are amazing. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. I think the only thing would be to change the carpet on the rooms to the lux vinyl.

I will be coming back!

This is a beautiful historic hotel! Our room was large and the furniture/beds were very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were there only one night and I picked the hotel simply because I needed something affordable and it was less than many others. Now, I wish I was there for a few days. The neighborhood around the hotel looks so charming and the restaurants look yummy... I will have to plan a trip just to stay here again.

I really loved the European charm of the hotel—it’s stylish and cozy. The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming, though I didn’t catch her name. Unfortunately, our stay took a turn late in the evening. Around 10:30 p.m., someone knocked—more like banged—on our door. We didn’t open it, unsure of who it was. Not long after, a staff member began loudly walking the halls, shouting, “Third floor guests, it was reported that someone was smoking marijuana. There will be a cleaning fee of $150.00!” As someone who already struggles with falling and staying asleep, this disturbance made it even harder to rest. I really wish they had handled the situation more discreetly, perhaps by calling the rooms individually instead of announcing it in such a disruptive way. It was a disappointing moment in an otherwise pleasant stay.

We loved this beautiful hotel and the surroundings. The website said there was a bar and restaurant in the hotel. When we got there it was under construction-no bar or restaurant. Very disappointed about that but our granddaughter took us to a great bar and restaurant just a couple of blocks down and we had a lovely dinner.

Great historical place and location. Big rooms and very clean. The whole lobby was being renovated when we arrived. And downtown construction wasn’t great, but I am guessing that is all improvement.
