The rooms were LOVELY and the renovations are in excellent taste. However, we were unprepared for how the ongoing renovations would affect our stay including having to move rooms twice (once because they couldn't control the heat and once because they sent us to an unserviced room) and having to walk through dirty hallways with plastic sheeting and the ceiling tiles along the floor. Construction noise began before 8am which was a bummer as my husband and I were on a very rare getaway from our kids and sleeping in would have been delightful. The customer service was polite but lacking- we were very kind and understanding about the inconveniences but were offered no compensation beyond a verbal apology. The restaurant does not currently exist which was a bummer, but the location is excellent and near multiple restaurants and tasting rooms (our favorites were Mr. Q for amazing latin food and Ruby Cellars tasting room). I think this will be a wonderful place to stay when the renovations are completed, but I would hold off in the meantime.

I feel conflicted writing this because there’s great potential. Unfortunately, there were many problems. First off, they gave away our room. They then put us in a different, lesser, unfinished room without even offering a discount. It was Christmas Eve and we had nowhere to go. Lastly, there was a screaming crying infant both nights that prevented us from sleeping at all during our stay. We were actually super concerned for the baby because it lasted for 48 hours, and we were scared for the child. It was traumatic for our child to hear all night long. They then had to move us to an another room the third night cause, baby. The only room available was a king and so my husband had to sleep in a couch because he couldn’t fit in bed with our kids who were freaked out at that point. It was a nightmare. I am only giving a two for Angela, who was helpful and the location/design aesthetic which was great.

The Carlton has gone downhill since it was purchased a year or so ago. Although the bedding and pillows are comfortable and the staff is very friendly and helpful, I had to ask for the full size towels instead of the smaller “hair towels” (as they call them) for both my stays in August and this December. The new heating system doesn’t work properly so the room was still 74 degrees even after setting the heat at 65 for 24 hours. They were accommodating and let me change rooms after the first night. The tv remotes in both rooms needed new batteries. The closet light wouldn’t go off because there was too much space between the side of the door and the push bottom that should turn it off when the door is closed. The lighting in the remodeled rooms is very dim and hard to see at night. Especially as you enter the room and also in the bedroom area. The larger vintage king rooms where I normally stay no longer have a desk. The hairdryer in the room they switched me to was a cheap Conair (like from a drugstore) with a cord too short to stand in front of the mirror while drying my hair. There was no lamp on one of the nightstands in the second room. I shouldn’t mention the aesthetics/interior design, because it’s the only subjective comment I have and because someone might like it, but suffice to say it’s a little scary for my taste - pea green walls and ceiling, , lovely traditional bed with wallpaper behind it, but mixed with 1960’s era Jetson’s light fixtures.
