EVERYTHING. We cannot wait to come back. A very special place staffed by really amazing staff. They took great care of us, got us in a little early as a family with kids, the server was so sweet to my son when we had a mom-son dinner date. All around wonderful and magical trip. Food was top notch!

We were very impressed with the property. Joe at the front desk was amazing and friendly and is definitely an asset to the hotel! The rooms were super cool and had everything we needed. On the 4th floor we did have some noise from the roof/etc but there are sound machines available to help drown out the noises from the hotel and from the outside traffic etc. Overall so impressed and would definitely stay again!

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.
