Don't stay here.
Booked a two-day stay but couldn't make the first night because of a family situation. They refused to keep my reservation for the second night and refused to issue any refund. Totally unhelpful and a waste of money.

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.

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.

A lovely stay with a beautiful esthetic and a wonderful room. A lot of hotels or inns have the same modern and boring look with room that are really just copied for other places, this place is unique and grand. For a stay in a truck stop town it is certainly a magnificent stay. If you like the old English style this place is for you.
