What guests think

Across the reviews, Carlton House Motel and Suites is praised for its walkable location near the beach and restaurants, clean, quiet rooms with comfortable beds, and friendly staff, while a few mentions note older touches and occasional maintenance quirks.

Amenities include an outdoor pool and free parking, and the grounds are kept tidy. Some guests reported an unmanned or hard-to-find office and old-school key check-in, though phone support was responsive. Expect a straightforward, quiet beach motel with simple comforts.

The room was perfect, very nicely decorated, clean and had a marvelous kitchen area. Paint, moulding, walls perfectly clean. Bathroom small but serviceable. Very nice place to stay. Nice amenities, BBQ grill, inviting pool, ice machine, good parking. Would definitely stay there again. Walking distance to great places to eat or enjoy a sunset. Such a nice surprise when you book a motel that is not a name brand. Room was as pictured or better

Property was lovely with pool, no car needed as hoped. About $45 from tampa airport in lyft and $30 to PIE airport. About 3 blocks from beach access where food, bathroom, and shower available. You can purchase chair $10 & umbrella $45 on upham beach. Walgreens and gas station is a good walk about $7 lyft to beach. Enterprise car rental near Walgreens open only weekdays about $100 for 24 hrs. Waffle house, Bouy's Brunch restaurant, Smoking Monkey Restaurant & Live music, and 82 Degrees Bar/The Saints Stay were all walking distance. Would love to return.

Very safe area. Easy 2 block walk to a beautiful beach with amazing sunsets. Two good restaurants with live music and great food in easy walking distance. Still a lot of damage in the area from Hurricane Milton in 2024. The property is comfortable and mostly functional, including the pool.

It was a very cute cottage! Enough room for one or two people. No elevator and many stairs (just 3 steps) Pleasant courtyard and right by the beach - 2 blocks - at the end of the streets. Definitely, I will stay there again...and free parking which is important by the beach.

The were renovating the office and no sign to tell me where to check in. Finally someone pointed me to one of the actual rooms. It’s old school, they use keys. The lady that worked there was a little hard to understand, did not even ask me for ID, just had me fill out a card. The room was like a one bedroom apt. Room could use an update. When checking out, there was no one to be found. I just left the key on the table as I found it, and sent an email to the property thru hotels.com

What a cute find! My boyfriend and I love trying new places for staycations.The office was locked when we came to check in, so we called and checked in over the phone and the lady was very nice and fast with our check in. It seems that no one was staying at the motel while we were there so we had it all to ourselves. It was clean, quiet, and near all of our favorite places we love to visit while we are here. Walkability is great, and a lot of the good breakfast and lunch spots are all within a 10 minute walk. You will not be disappointed!

Even though the office was closed upon my afternoon arrival and still closed upon my departure at 10 am they responded through the phone number they make available with my check in and check out. I would definitely recommend staying here and it is so close to the beach along with an array of restaurants within walking distance.
