The Royal Hotel Carlton exceeded expectations. The hotel was very clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the nice dining room and buffet breakfast were a pleasant surprise. The hotel is also conveniently located within the Historic District and easy walking distance to the Bus station. Would gladly stay here again in the future.

The property is a bit away from the city center but walkable distance to it. Dining options are minutes away walking. We got upgraded to a suite. The hotel is beautiful. Their breakfast offers a wide range of hot and cold items, including the best coffee and pastries. I would definitely go back and highly recommend it!

Overall a good experience the room was excellent and the bed amazing got a great nights sleep. The buffet breakfast had a large section. Only concern was time taken at front desk to check in and check out. Also the area between the hotel down to train station didn’t feel very safe particularly at night. Would stay here again, beautiful hotel.
