Guest rooms in the Alumni Guest House are for the use of guests of the College. Alumni, parents, friends, guest speakers, job candidates, and others on campus for College business have first priority for rooms in the guest house.
To reserve rooms, complete the following form.
Melissa Thomas, Special Events Associate/Administrative Assistant for College Relations oversees the Guest House, and if you have questions, contact her at 507-222-4309 or mthomas@carleton.edu. Rooms may be reserved no more than six months in advance. To reserve rooms, complete the following form. Please allow 24 hours from the time your request is made until you receive confirmation or hear back from the College Relations Office, at times booking activity can be quite heavy.
On the occasion that rooms are still available, rooms may be reserved for non-business purposes. Bookings by individuals for non-business purposes (and not charging to a departmental account) may be made at the earliest one month in advance. This allows maximum time for College business to book rooms first.
Rent for these rooms when charged to a College department or when used for College business is $45 per night. Cost for all other non-affiliated individuals on non-College business is $90 per night.

GUEST HOUSE LOUNGE:

LOCKERS:
We have recently installed four beautiful wood lockers for use by our Alumni Guest House Guests. These lockers are for guests who need to stay on campus past the 10 a.m. checkout time at the Alumni Guest House. If you need to stay beyond the checkout time, you will simply pack up your personal items and place them into the locker, leaving the room key behind and keeping the locker key. This will allow a safe storage place for your possessions, while still allowing our custodial staff to prepare the room for the next guest who may be checking in at 2 p.m. A key drop box has been installed near the lockers for the locker key when you are ready to collect your possessions and leave campus. When you complete the reservation form, please let us know if you will need to reserve a locker and for what time period.
MINI BUSINESS CENTER:
In the south entrance of the Guest House on the second level, we have carved out space for a small business center. The center is equipped with a computer, telephone, printer, copier, and fax machine. Login and usage instructions for all equipment is posted near the equipment.
WIRELESS ACCESS FOR YOUR LAPTOP:
The Guest House has wireless computer access. Instructions on how to connect to this and the current password are included in every guests’ key packet. Click here to view instructions.
Please note that in both the guest rooms and at the business center, you will need to use a calling card in order to make long distance calls.
