We had a wonderful weekend at the Carleton. The staff were very friendly and the room was beautiful. Nice quiet area and unique shopping within walking distance. The restaurants on site were awesome. La Notte was the perfect Italian experience ~ from the impeccable menu and perfect music to the memorable visit with the very knowledgeable chef, Giovanni. Poor Phil’s was great as well with a very pleasant staff. Overall a fantastic weekend~We will be back for sure👍👍

Perfect for my solo trip

Everything was exactly as advertised. I stayed in one of the "motel rooms" which is off of a courtyard and was really quiet. My shower drain was a little slow but maintenence came out and fixed it as soon as i brought it to someones attention.
