I’m still waiting for the manager Melanie to contact me about my stay. I was walked in on other guests in my room just after falling asleep. Not once but twice. The place is under a huge renovation so it’s really not a great place to stay in this point of time!

I feel sorry for staff. Front desk is foeced to be and do everything. The remodel is sisgusting atomic radioactive lome green turquoise toxic colors, sparse, slum look in rooms and halls.Horrible color scheme. Bad smell of must and weed everywhere. I have stayed here at least 20 tomes in 2 years for work, it was a trusted and loved hotel, i wont be back, i could barely stay the night, if home wasnt so far away and i wasnt so tired i would have left. Sheets stained, blankets with odd substance on it, was ir chocolate, blood, or poo? Same stuff on the wall in bathroom near light switch. Water spotted shower and glass in bathroom. This used to polished, clean, and smell so fresh and clean, not anymore. Bed is sheets tucked into lower mattress, no dust cover on bottom, room looks like a ceoas between a crak house and scene from Slum Dog Millionaire. Reallu sad about this, this was a tradition for us for many years, and now a sad ending to an era. This place no longer vibes with area history, class and touches of nostalgia. Looks like a total slum in hallways, rooms are just awful color scheme, and so sparse, u feel like u are in trouble in a cell.

The whole property was being renovated which was not indicated when I booked it. When I checked in, ther room wasn't furnished as shown on the website, only a bed, nightstands, and a tv. The staff got me a desk and chair after I asked for it. Very loud construction noises all day with corridors blocked off which made accessing my room somewhat inconvenient. Restaurant was being renovated but no sign indicated that it was. Staff was helpful and courteous, but the Hotel had no business hosting guests while going through such a major renovation. Would not stay here again.

The property is undergoing some renovations so there were some obvious signs of that. Our room was large but felt oddly empty and the mattresses were exposed and not in great condition. In my opinion they needed an area rug in the room to warm it up - hardwood floors although pretty were just a bit cold feeling. No art or anything on the walls. It felt incomplete. But the hotel is located in a great downtown area w lovely shops and restaurants.

Don't bother calling ahead to ask about amenities

This was hands down the worst experience I've had at Carlton. First of all we called to ask if they had jacccuzi tubs in the rooms. Advised us which rooms had them we then booked the room suggested. On arrival the room was not anything to write home about and they painted the rooms two tone and hues of the mosr uncomfortable greens. I feel they took out the original wallpaper onthe elevator amd it just ruined the ambiance. Oh and not to mention the Jacuzzi tub was broken and the jets literally fell out of the tub and never even worked at all. When we advised the front desk he would not accommodate the issue and said 3rd party booking have to go thru the 3rd party for a refund. So I will be doing somin my very little spare time that I do have in my busy life to get accommodated for the lack of the hotels working amenities. And to boot when we checked out they acted like nothing was wrong and that we never complained about anything the night before. I will not stay at the Carlton until this is resolved or refunded or my account has a credit for the amount of the room cost that night. How can you rent someone a room claiming working Jacuzzi tub knowing we called and rented specific for that reason and then give us a.room with a non working tub and act like you had no idea it was not functioning ... And sad part is this place is in a remodel phase and whoever designed is not someone I would ever hire for my interior decorating... Yuck yuck and more yuck this experience was bad

Comfortable despite construction work

The hotel is in the middle of being remodeled, with construction dust in some places, so I expected things to be a bit rough. But the room was very nice and comfortable. The mini-fridge was missing its shelves, but I expect that when the dust stops flying, little things like that will receive attention. All in all, a good stay.
