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.

Our stay here was amazing! The room was perfect for us. It was clean and comfortable, had so many extras, and was perfectly located near everything we needed. The owners are amazing to deal with (very accessible) and we really appreciated the contactless check in, so simple. No question we will be returning. Thanks again for a wonderful stay. 🙂
