We just needed a place to sleep for the night but there were lots of restaurants accessible by car and it has a golf course. We got to watch the sun come up from our balcony. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/59D89991837D0D4D499AC037EEE0CC2C104CDE201721482413308.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer M.

Over priced and not very many options in the vicinity, old building and rooms, dirty rug carpet like in an old restaurant, run down, poor water pressure. Will work if your in a pinch. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexandria 25 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pool was closed down 2 of the 3 days we were staying there. Breakfast was not served even though the email received for check in states breakfast. The floor of the kitchen in our room was sticky and there was no soap to wash the dishes. The cable box wasn't working and needed to be reset twice during our short stay. Asked for a final receipt to be emailed and still have not received. ##### Alexandria Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David 11 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Sink backed up in the middle of the night so I woke up to standing water. Couldn’t go to the bathroom, shower, shave or brush my teeth. No clerk or manager onsite. Security did not pickup the phone. I had to leave for a job so I could not stay waiting around.

They’re trying to upgrade it. The shower didn’t work. You couldn’t turn the shower off to take a bath and it was poor lighting and the TV was pretty small and far away but overall it was OK for the price. it was little much ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### mark 6 Oct 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Just like we were not there ##### mark Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### William 2 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Very dated.

Very limited front desk hours made it difficult to get needs met. Onsite restaurant had delicious food and good service. Pool was pleasant and open until 10 pm but pool towels were only available during limited hours in the afternoon and $15 fee if you didn't return each day during those hours. ##### Patreena Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Cynthia 29 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I wish there was a microwave and they don't really care for the Barn Door ##### Cynthia Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### bassam 5 Aug 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness after staying for 2 hours immediately exited the place.. very outdated and hot.. a/c turns on but room temperature stays above 80. very terrible place ##### bassam Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie 24 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities At first glance, I was a bit hesitant to book a room here since it was located in a small golf resort (we are not golfers). However, when we arrived, we found a super clean and comfortable room. Our room was located in the bungalow-style units (not the 2-story lodge) that are located at the edge of the parking lot, away from the main resort complex. Our unit was peaceful with a nice grassy area outside. Comfy bed, warm shower and basic amenities. It’s not a fancy place and it’s a bit dated, but a very pleasant place to stay. We would definitely stay at the Carlton Oaks again. ##### Valerie Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Always a good stay We have stayed here many times. Its a good location for our needs. Its clean. The pool area is nice however, the sectional sofa is disgustingly dirty. We layed towels over it just to sit on it. The restaurant is good. We really enjoy having our meals on the outdoor patio overlooking the golf course. The entire staff at the resort are very friendly. The bedding is comfortable but the rooms are very outdated. The walls are dark and the furniture clean but worn. There is no convenient bedside place to plug your phone in. The in room refrigerator is great to have. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucy 17 Jun 2024 Room was dark need more lighting Need to upgrade ##### Lucy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 20 Sept 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Need to explain how TV works.
