Carlton House Hotel - Watertown, Wisconsin

North B. N. A.

Moved in over a year ago. Have had very little problems. When I first moved in it was a little different sharing a bathroom with others as I have never had to before. I got over that pretty quickly. There are rooms that you have your own bathroom and kitchen and I just like my little room a lot, so I decided not to move into a bath/ bed/ kitchen. Everybody that’s there is super friendly and will do anything to help each other out. When a problem resident comes in. They are very quick to get the issue solved or to get the resident removed or have the resident remove themselves.In this economy the expense for what you get is amazing here. I really do enjoy this building. If I had anything negative to say it would be that the buildings old enough that it doesn’t regulate heat very well. So sometimes it’s really hot in her during the winter but in reality it’s pretty easy to deal with. The owner, Jeff and manager Kerri are great to work with. Again I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for an affordable housing option without children.

I hit a rough patch in my life and I was unable to find rent elsewhere in a short period of time. Almost went homeless. Kari gave me a chance to get back on my feet and I'm forever grateful to her for that! I stayed there for a year and was able to move in to a house recently. I actually got comfortable living there and would recommend it to anyone who needs shelter when in need. The people I encountered were friendly for the most part and Kari is willing to accommodate.

You get a fridge, bed, couch, and atleast a sink in your room. Some rooms have a bathroom, otherwise you will need to use a communal bathroom which didn't bother a person like myself. My only gripe was no AC in the summer but good heat in the winter. Parking was never an issue for me as well.

A lot of the reviews on here are from before the change of management, and the place has since improved from what I've seen and is reasonably priced for what it is.

Thank you Kari for helping me when no one else would!

I've been staying here for a few months now, it has had new ownership and management for about 5 years from what I understand. The management makes sure the property is clean and in a safe manner. I appreciate that during the evening hours entrance to the building is secured. Management has always been respectful and helpful in many ways. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Kari is very nice. And is always willing to work with u when it comes to rent and helping you get assistance when u need help with the bills. 99% of the tendency are very nice. If there is ever someone bothering you. She deals with the situation immediately. She's great to have as a landlord. If your ever struggling to get housing this is a good place to start off.

Clean, quiet, and comfortable.
Saw a lot of negative reviews on the management and their rules.
First of all the rules are explained to you at the beginning. It's like any other Motel or Hotel, they have rules.
Remember, this is a 'rooming house ' not the Motel 8. No pool, no arcade for children.
If you need a place to lay your head I would recommend it.

The place is just a joke over all, the manager Kari only cares about her long term people living there and would do anything to kick new residents out by making false accusations. She’s saying people are complaining non stop about my husband and I are being to loud, when I’m at work most of the day and my husband is out doing errands. And When we try to socialize with other people in the building we get in trouble bc people want to complain when a regular talking level isn’t that disruptive, but to other people it is. Expecally if your in your own room. The walls are thin and people don’t take that into consideration when making so called complaints to the manager. And that’s just the tip of the ice burg they is so much more wrong with the building itself and the manager as well. I would not recommend staying here at all. I would do your best to try to find a better place or go to a actual hotel for a little more money where you know it’s clean and the staff/ manager doesn’t disturb you every day.

The manager there has no respect she likes to tell you how to live. She also does not like it when other people are socializing. I’ve also noticed a moldy smell there that they cover up with Febreze or the little automatic sprayers. The manager has no regard of anybody’s safety, she’s always complaining about when I had my car parked upfront she specifically said and I quote your car does not look pretty in front of my building. The outside is fine but the inside is just horrendous. It may look good a little bit but in reality, there’s mold, smells that are covered up by Febreze, or any other fragrance that she can possibly get her hands on Never seen the owner come around which tells me that he doesn’t care either so I leave this place with a one star review on everything
