I had a wonderful 4-night stay at the Carleton in the midst of a very snowy winter. The room was nice, the staff were excellent. They did tell me they were understaffed and so I chose not to have my room refreshed during my stay, which was fine as it came fully stocked with enough towels and amenities to cover the stay. Walking distance to everything I needed and I really appreciated the coffee shops nearby. I didn't try out the hotel restaurants but every time I walked by there were happy people in there. I would stay again.

The heat radiator was banging loudly several times each two hours which woke us up during the night. Check out was at 11 am but the maid knocked on the door at 8:15 am waking us up early.
