We were not told that they were in the process of renovations. While we would have stayed regardless, we walked into the room and it had bed, nightstands, a desk and a TV. The normal furniture we expected left a lot of open space and we had to request a second luggage stand to keep the 2nd suitcase off the floor. Also, not sure the new renovations match the character of the building. We will stay again because it is close to family and the best in town.

Bed was creaky! Pillows flattened with head weight. There was no bed skirt to hide the worn-looking box springs (king bed). There was a tear on the curtain, curtains did not fully come together to block lights at night and then sunlight in the early morning.
Green!
No bed skirt!
Tear in curtain.
Worn/dirty seat & ottoman.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Got there and everything seemed okay at first. Just took a shower and on top of fighting a cockroach in the shower, the fire alarm went off for two hours. Then the fix for the fire alarm? Stuff toilet paper in it while it was hanging from the ceiling. The first lady told us we will get the room for free and then proceeded only to get a discount after talking with the manager. Not okay.

This property is undergoing a major renovation. The new owners are bringing up to Current day expectations. The building and interior architecture is amazing if you like historic buildings. The rooms are very spacious and looks like they will be very nicely decorated upon completion. Highly recommend the bakery next-door attached to the hotel for a quick breakfast in the morning.

Great place to stay !

I had a great time at the “Carlton Hotel”. Great location for everything you may need. They were having a re-model, but it didn’t put a negative to my stay. I would highly recommend this hotel.
