We checked in got our room and went in. The toilet seat was cracked and pinched me. There was no hand soap The mirrors were dirty The tub drained very slowly so when you shower your standing in water. There were hundreds of ants that had gotten into our stuff. The pool was freezing so couldn’t swim. Housekeepers banging doors at 6am by leaving the lock on so they don’t have to use the key card to go in and out. It was the worst stay I’ve ever had anywhere will definitely not be returning ever

I don’t recommend staying on the 1st floor. I could hear the family above me at all times they were in their room. There was a wedding at the convention center next door that I could hear until long after midnight. Also, my bathtub was stained, and I had to unplug my refrigerator because it was so loud.

This was an average hotel room. Not exceptional, not awful. Being able to park right in front of the sliding glass doors to your room was very convenient. The room had absolutely no USB plugs! Not ion the lamps, the clock, the wall. None! So make sure to bring charging blocks with you, we had to go buy some. This is something this hotel needs to update in the worst way!

It was fine. Dated and in need of some rehab. Fridge had to be unplugged due to noise. Shower head was awful. Door did not seal so noise and light were easily let in. A/C worked so room temp was comfortable. Bed was comfortable enough but did not like the pillows, and that’s just personal preference. Location was good for my purposes and they did have some outdoor space which was appreciated.

We stay in Carroll once every year or two, usually at the Days Inn. This time we decided to treat ourselves to a little upgrade and stay at the Carrolton Inn. Aside from maybe being a bit more solidly constructed, thus more quiet, the Carrolton was not any better. I reserved 2 rooms through Expedia, but when we arrived only one room was booked. They blamed it on a communication error. Luckily, there were many open rooms, so we were able to get the 2nd room. Our room was clean, but the light in the bath/shower would only work intermittently, leaving us with only the wind-up heatlamp for light (amazed they still have those). The entry area of the room had no light, though there was a mystery light switch next to the door that operated nothing. We found that the chargers we had plugged in on the nightstand (only after moving the nightstand to reveal the wall outlet) were not working, until we discovered that another mystery light switch on the opposite wall behind the TV controlled the outlet. Weird.

The complimentary breakfast was disappointing - the standard prefab eggs, dry biscuits, canned gravy and \"golden malted\" waffles. It was ok, but I was hoping for better.

The rooms did not have enough light. Three dim lamps and no overhead light in the entry area. More frustratingly, there was not a light in the toilet/shower room. The only bathroom light was in the sink area that didn’t have a door so every time anyone would go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, the light would wake everyone up. The floors on the steps had food crumbs on them for three days. There was no elevator.

But the beds were really nice. They were firm but also soft, very comfortable.

Very clean inside the room, outside on the property, and inside in the common areas. That's very important to me. The staff were helpful and responsive. Decent breakfast. I would definitely stay here again, in fact this is my second time here. I especially like the patio entrance to the room. You can park right at your room and come in and out easily. I find that very convenient and I feel safe with this option in Carroll. I wouldn't stay in this type of room in, say, Chicago, but here it's great. The property doesn't get five stars for these things: no elevator. The bed isn't comfortable for me; you may find it is for you. The ADJUSTABLE shower head is seven feet up on the wall, so while I would love to adjust the shower flow style, it's impossible for me, thus rendering it useless for me. I think it would have been difficult for my 6'4\" son to reach. Lastly, we booked one room, but it had a (locked) connecting door -- and paper-thin walls. The 'neighbors' were LOUD, inappropriately so, and we (and other guests) had to complain. The staff was VERY responsive to our complaints and the rowdy guests were ejected from the room (hotel?). If you plan to be noisy, or need it to be super quiet, you should mention that to the staff at the time of your booking. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Awful experience

Check in was smooth and easy but was all downhill from there. 1st room was 80 degrees and the AC was broken. Wasted an hour getting moved to another room. Once that fiasco was done our family was anxious to get into the pool. Unfortunately for everyone the heater was broken, water was ice cold!! No warning at all is the most frustrating thing. We were told we would be credited back for our inconveniences but they never followed through with that. Asked multiple times but nothing was done. Not a chance we would ever stay here again

Very bummed, to say the least!

Check-in was rocky, I had to provide all information again, even though I’d provided two pre authorization forms to both hotels.com and Carrollton Inn. AFTER checking in, we were informed that the pool heater wasn’t working, and that the pool had been down for “at least” three months. The pool was the entire reason we chose the hotel, so my child and I could have a fun weekend. I was beyond frustrated and then to top it all off, the air conditioning had a squeaky belt and was constantly chirping, waking up my child and myself multiple times throughout the night. There was no soundproofing even with the squeaky fan going, we could hear every door close. There wasn’t a balcony or a sliding door as advertised in the listing I paid for. There wasn’t an elevator or luggage carts. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement; with tax I wouldn’t have paid more than $70 for that very unfortunate experience!!

I stayed at this property a number of years ago and had no problem, but I must have stayed in a ground floor room. This time I booked a second floor room - it was just a little bit cheaper - so this is on me. But there are NO elevators in the facility, which made it harder for this 71-year-old with arthritis. I've never had to make sure a facility HAD an elevator before...
When I checked in, there was no one at the reception desk. I waited 15 minutes, then called the hotel's number and was immediately put on hold - THEN the one person on duty came to the Front Desk.
Also, I found (to my surprise) that housekeeping is by demand only, and it has to be requested a day in advance. Unacceptable to me and I won't be going back.
