You can use the two phones in the lobby to call or receive messages. -Save on weekly rental: pay for seven nights upon arrival and receive a 10% discount. -To make reservations, first call our reservation phone as far in advance as possible. We'll give you a date to call again to reconfirm. -Don't try to fax us. We don't own a fax machine. -Advance deposits may be required for large group or late night arrivals. -We accept Visa or Mastercard and travellers checks. -We use the softest handwoven Costa Rican toilet tissue (something you'll remember us for in years to come.) ----- 'It Ain't No Holiday Inn', say the back of the Carlton Arms T-shirts, and that is certainly the case. This is a bohemian crash pad in a non-bohemian neighborhood. What makes the Carlton Arms far from ordinary are the leaps and swoops of various artists' imaginations; they have transformed the rooms into three dimensional art installations. One room has a pastoral mural, another a brightly colored cartoon, most have a trippy, sensual ambience. Amenities? Little rectangles of soap. Be prepared to schlep your luggage since there's no elevator (and nothing remotely like a bellman), to sweat in the summer (no air conditioning) and to share a bathroom (though some rooms do have their own bath). The Carlton Arms isn't like any hotel in the city and even at its budget rate it's obviously not for everyone. It's low on creature comforts but high on creative energy.
