"Breakfast started too late for us to enjoy before we needed to head out, but you get what you pay for here. Our room smelled very moldy and musty. Could tell the fridge had leaked and end table was ruined, but they didn't replace. Needs a deep clean. We arrived late and staff wasn't at desk. Had to call and they were with a large loud group hanging out in the breakfast room. Parking is small. Thankful we only needed to stay a couple hours to sleep and get ready in the morning. "
"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."
"Probably the first guest of the season. We checked in on a 40 mph windy day. The clerk did go out of her way to find us a room with a working TV. 3rd try. Ice machine was MIA and the hotel coffee machine was a challenge to figure. Water was hot, The smoke alarm was doing the spring robin chirp. Staying in this hotel was an Indiana Jones adventure. "

"The owner continues to upgrade this property. New flooring and bedding make this even more comfortable. There are local restaurants nearby that provide a variety of cuisines."
"For being in a rual small town area I was suprised to find something this nice close to where we needed to be. I would stay with these properties anywhere anytime. It had it all. Everything worked. Very well kept. Great staff. Right nextbto a great restaurant. "
