Carrollton Inn

This place is a national treasure. Seriously.If you're passing nearby (like between Cincinnati and Louisville...you know who you are), stop by.And be sure to tour Carrollton while you're at it. This is definitely NOT your average small town. Look it up.

I have to say I wanted this place to be good. I'm local, I like to patronize locally owned businesses. I ordered the "Inkeeper", the menu said it came with onions, mushrooms, and "breaded fantail Shrimp" it had a few mushrooms and onions, the shrimp were cold cocktail shrimp, rubbery and flavorless. The steak was so tough I couldn't hardly cut it and had difficulty chewing it. The taste was an overwhelming "oily" bitter charbroil flavor.

I've worked construction for 15 years and been in my share of crappy inns and hotels but the Carrollton inn wins the reward as the worse I've ever seen. As i walked in to the lobby there was no one around and the lobby was full of garbage. I should have left then but was kinda desperate cause I'd been awake for over 24 hrs and just wanted a shower and some sleep. I call the number on door and a nice man named Bill comes to greet me. I get my room after a little run down the street to his restaurant to pay for the room. He hands me some towels and a key. I go to the inn and climb the stairs to the third floor. The banister was in ruff shape and falling apart, all the hallway windows were wide open, insects coming in and out at will. The whole building is in ruff shape and probably needs to be condemned. As i get to the room it was dirty,very dated, and the beds were worn out. The air conditioning was barely working and the room was hot. I open the towels and notice mouse droppings and yellow stains all over them. Thats all i could handle i called Bill and told him i was leaving and wanted my money back. The only good thing I can say about the Carrollton Inn was the owner seemed to be a nice guy and refunded my money no problems.

The steaks were not cooked to order. The mashed potatoes were brown and not good. it took over an hour to get our food. there was a hair in the food. It was pretty warm in there. Air conditioning not good. Waitress was nice and the Manager discounted our bill. It was a neat older building.
