Lovely Hotel to this snobby 4* hotel traveler
The room, bed & bathroom, and size of the room were very nice. The toilet had a slight smell around it, but I’m sure that will be fixed. For an older hotel, I thought it was very nice and would stay here again as the location is perfect as well. I don’t do 3 stars or below, because I like to feel safe and comfortable in an uber clean environment. This hotel checked all the boxes for this snobby traveler. The staff were all very very kind and helpful as well.

Don't stay here.
Booked a two-day stay but couldn't make the first night because of a family situation. They refused to keep my reservation for the second night and refused to issue any refund. Totally unhelpful and a waste of money.

Extremely disappointing.
The toilet was broken. The front desk person this morning was rude and un-caring. There was no wifi.

Great stay. Great location!
The Carlton Hotel is a beautifully decorated, nicely refurbished older hotel. Lovely furnishings throughout. Largish rooms. Very comfortable. Located in the center of town, there are several coffee houses, restaurants and a bakery very nearby. It was also priced lower than some other local hotels. Well worth a stay! !

Lovely and charming but slightly down at heels.
It’s a super lovely old-fashioned elegant hotel, slightly down at heels but still sparkling clean and trying. The staff is always friendly. This is my third time staying her during a road trip from northern to Southern California. The problems this time was 1) the bed felt too soft, 2) I couldn’t turn the heater off and it was too hot 71 degrees). So I had to open the window. 3) two of the four jets in the whirlpool bathtub didn’t work. 4) the arm chair I. The room was just too old. Looks nice but the seat was badly sagging and the back too. This place has so much charm and the staff is so nice, you want this place to be just a little bit better.

Carlton
We have stayed at this property several times over the years. It was not as good as usual. Service is always great, but the rug in the room of dirty and the bed was not as comfortable. They changed the comforter, or actually did not have a cozy comfortable. Had to add a blanket. Two of the jets in the tub did not work. Over all, it was very nice.

No soap
The hotel is great except couldn’t get soap to wash our faces and no body wash in the shower. Front desk dug through a box under the front desk and found us 2 small bottles of body wash. I did have a small bar of soap in my overnight bag
