This hotel turns 100 years old soon and let me tell you what's great about this place and other older hotels: • large rooms • windows that open for fresh air • charm and character The handsome decor here made me feel like I was in Richard Gilmore's library. Loved the friendly staff, bakery next door and wonderful old Sylvester's down the street. Also appreciated that both beds had an expansive upholstered bench at the foot of the bed where we could set our stuff. Plenty of closet and drawer space. So many newer hotels have nowhere to put anything! Cute little coffee nook and the biggest bathroom ever. SUPER comfortable beds and pillows. Thank you Hotel Carlton! All the stars!
The lobby - so warm and welcoming. The staff was very nice! I liked that we could take the elevator or stairs.
Look at all that room - we could have done cartwheels!
Loved waking up to blue skies and fresh air through windows that actually open

Carlton’s Lucky To Have Cole Representing Them
The Carlton is first-rate! But we’d never have known it without Cole the gentleman at the Carlton Desk. With a special needs son, we had some unique needs I had to call twice but each time Cole was personable, professional and when I called a third time almost in tears because I wasn’t sure where we were …Cole was calm and assuring and he got us safely through a monstrous disastrous construction site blocking our arrival, when he knew we were almost there, he went to our room, checked the temp, making sure it was ready for us…and it was! Thank You Cole You Are Blessing! Thank you Carlton … it was a trip we’ll never forget!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The first thing I noticed when I walked into my room was it smelled as if the carpets needed a very deep cleaning. The hotel website advertised free wine, tasting for guests staying at the hotel, however, when I inquired, I was advised that they were no longer doing that. That was disappointing watching TV in the evening, you only had a choice of about six channels most were sports and a couple of them were Spanish-speaking.

This is a beautiful property and the only place I have stayed at when I visit SLO, for about 10 years now. I was sad to see the hotel in poor shape and hope that they will start remodeling and keeping up with this beautiful and unique hotel. I highly recommend cleaning the carpets, the first room I checked in at smelled real bad, thankfully I was able to change my room, but the carpets were pretty bad in the new room too and throughout the Hotel. I heard that they may be renovating the hotel in October. My experience with the staff was all over, the welcome didn't go so well, but later most people were nice. I will be back next year, if the hotel has been updated I will be staying at the Carlton again.
