Just wondering if anyone has stayed at the Carlton Hotel on Sutter in San Francisco? We planning a trip in October and a few people mentioned it--does anyone have any input? Thanks in advance.

I did a search for "Carlton Hotel" in this forum and found a thread dated 10/30/1999. You might want to read that series of posts.

While I have not stayed at the Carlton, I can say that the neighborhood is something that I as a local am comfortable with, but I have heard visitors comment negatively on.

Well, Im going to be staying there this week for the 1st time. You can email me after next week, and Ill get back to you.

i am peter from england,my wife and i stayed at the carlton 2 years ago(on a tour with cosmos coaches.they book there guests here so cosmos think its ok.although there are a lot of dropouts on and around market street they tend to leave you alone.my wife and i are only small and didn,t feel threatened.the hotel isn,t fantastic but is ok.if you preview the movie channel watch for them trying to charge you.have a great time,san francisco is great.

A friend of mine swears by the Beresford Hotel on Sutter. It has a nice warm feel, small pub and nice rooms. Same area as you are already looking in. May want to check it out. I live here, so have never stayed there, but we have had drinks there and it looks good.

Im back from staying at the hotal carlton. Im very pleased with the loc. its actually nicely situated in the middle bet the beautiful filmore area, and the union sq. rooms are a little small, though, but nicely decor. its clean, the staff are very friendly.
highly rec.

Thanks Chris--I appreciate it!
