We only stayed one night- it was quiet, the room was fine, the location is great for drop off at Rush, which is just a half mile away. There is an Egg Harbor about a block away which is great!

I had a wonderful 4-night stay at the Carleton in the midst of a very snowy winter. The room was nice, the staff were excellent. They did tell me they were understaffed and so I chose not to have my room refreshed during my stay, which was fine as it came fully stocked with enough towels and amenities to cover the stay. Walking distance to everything I needed and I really appreciated the coffee shops nearby. I didn't try out the hotel restaurants but every time I walked by there were happy people in there. I would stay again.
