Always Funky
I travel extensively and always try to book unique boutique hotels. I had no idea that The Carpenter Hotel existed but selected from a list provided by Hotels.com. This hotel is a dream funky interesting and unique. It deserves to be considered iconic and it will one day be in the company of the Chelsea in NYC and Liberty Hotel in Boston. The staff is excellent and fit right with the hotel’s image. A great experience in all respects.

Happy to Go Back!
The Carpenter is a lovely place -- lots of concrete, mattresses low to the ground, hipster vibe with lots of pleasant dogs and coffee. The location is good although I prefer the sister hotel, The San Jose, on South Congress for locale. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Austin and John and the three baristas at the wonderful coffee shop.
