The Carlton was modern with nice rooms and pretty grounds. Staff was great, scheduled transportation early in the morning to the airport. Surrounding area was questionable, lots of graffiti and we felt a little unsafe on a couple of our walks. But, the hotel has a restaurant and bar onsite.

Lovely hotel, kind of an English vibe to it. Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms well cared for. Breakfast is incredible. The only complaint was the air conditioning wasn't on yet, room would be a little warm in the morning but not terrible.
