Great stay!

From the outside, looks like a motel so I was a little dubious about the very positive reviews I read. But then - the room was beautiful - more like a high-end rental than a hotel room. Completely renovated, tastefully decorated, and spotless. Staff really nice, too. The only downside is the highway noise, but the location is convenient. Will be back!

Nice stay at Carriage House

We had a great stay at Carriage House. It was clean and comfortable, and they were able to accommodate my late check in with a simple process. The room seems to have been recently renovated and has everything we needed.

I had not stayed here before, but was able to secure a reservation for one night. The outside is a motel, but the room was more like a hotel. Beautiful and spacious and very clean. I was very happy overall and will likely book again sometime.
