What guests say
9.5 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 693 guest reviews
The Carnegie Hotel & Spa earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its immaculate upkeep, generously sized rooms, and charming historic character, with staff responsiveness singled out repeatedly as a highlight. The on-site restaurant, bar, and spa add real value, though a handful of guests flag inconsistent mattress firmness, the cost of breakfast not being bundled into already-premium rates, and minor spa and pool-amenity gaps that fall short of the hotel's otherwise polished presentation.
