The Cartwright Hotel

Frommer's Review

Diametrically opposed to the hip-hop, happenin' Hotel Triton down the street, The Cartwright Hotel is geared toward the more mature traveler. Management takes pride in its reputation for offering comfortable rooms at fair prices, which explains why most guests have been repeat customers for a long time. Remarkably quiet, despite its convenient location near one of the busiest downtown corners, the eight-story hotel looks not unlike it did when it opened some 80 years ago. Antiques collected during its decades of faithful service furnish the lobby and the individually decorated (and sometimes very small) rooms. A nice perk usually reserved for fancier hotels is the fully equipped bathrooms, all of which have tubs, rainfall shower heads, Aveda products, terry robes (in deluxe rooms), and thick fluffy towels. Complimentary wine is served in the small library each night, and afternoon tea and fresh-baked cookies are a daily treat, as are the apples and hot beverages in the lobby 'round the clock. A breakfast room serves a complimentary expanded continental breakfast with a make-your-own-waffle station.
