For a low priced hotel in the Kirkland area this hotel is ok. The rooms do need a lot more refurbishing - apparently this is a work in progress. The bed we had was ok, it didn't sag but it was a bit hard. The carpet was nasty to look at - hopefully it will be replaced soon. The area... More

My wife and I stayed here in late July 2012 after our room reservation at another area hotel was cancelled. This hotel is the most unique we've ever stayed at, but that has its pluses and minuses. The double door entrance and overall layout of the hotel reminds me of some long-ago movie hotel. A stairway leads to the ground... More

Sadly the hotel is falling apart and doesn't offer what's shown on their site (café, pool or any amenities). There are stains everywhere – on the mattress, old food in fridge, stains on the cushioned chairs and furniture, cobwebs and a spider in our room, cracks in the sink and shower, dirty towels and glasses. We weren't there to use... More

My husband and I made reservations for the Carlton Inn for our vacation in Seattle. We really wanted to like it because it's locally/family owned, and we figured that that negative reviews on here were maybe from people more picky than we, since there are also some very positive reviews. After seeing the place for ourselves, we have no idea... More

Checked in and the staff seemed interested in my comfort. Got to the room and the desk clerk called as soon as I got there. He asked if everything was "ok". NOTE: I started cursing myself as soon as I saw the bed. The bed mattress literally looked like it had been pulled out of a dumpster. It was so... More

Carlton Inn is just like a home away from home. Their services and accommodation is likely a homey atmosphere. Rooms are newly refurvished and you can ask special discounts on rooms. That's a big factor because the hotel is runned by a family and you get to ask for it. Although the hotel is in Kirkland, about 20-minutes drive from... More

I spent 3 nights at the Carlton Inn, and I enjoyed my stay. It was very quiet and was situated in a secluded area so it was peaceful. Furthermore, there were many convenient restaurants and stores within walking distance such as Dennys, Pizza Hut, and Trader Joe's. I was worried because the reviews on Carlton Inn were poor, and I... More

I really, really wanted to like the Carlton Inn. Reviews on another website had praised the staff, the tidiness of the facility and the site on a bird sanctuary, and I thought these were all good reasons to give it a try, especially at a bargain rate. And it's true--the inn sits alongside a wetland which is apparently a bird... More

Hmm, I don't quite understand the bad reviews that Carlton Inn gets. Perhaps it was because my friend and I only stayed here for one night, and didn't encounter the problems that other travellers did. It wasn't half as gross as described in other reviews. I would say that it was average, and I didn't get an icky feeling about... More
