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

Get away
Rooms and bathroom were big. The A/C did not work in our room so we opened the window but the freeway noise was a lot.
Over all a very nice place to stay and we’ll be back again!!

Extremely disappointed!!
Extremely disappointed with our stay.
The in house restaurant and bar closed for refurbishment. If we had known this in advance we would have booked a different hotel.
The carpet was stained, the toilet kept filling of its own accord, the jacuzzi bath only had one of four jets working.
For the price we paid I would have expected complimentary water. Instead they were asking for $12 for two small bottles.
The only positives were the room was spacious and the bed was comfortable.

My Favorite Place to Stay
It’s always a great stay at The Carlton. It’s clean, the rooms are very spacious and the staff are always welcoming and friendly. After discovering this gem it’s the only place I stay. It’s in walking distance to restaurants and there’s a delicious homemade ice shop directly across the street. You can’t go wrong at The Carlton.
