The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and fireplace provided plenty of heat. Sadly the bathroom needs a serious renovation, the tub and shower caulking and tile were very old and dark, the bathroom door frame is disintegrating. We would stay again because the people are kind, but we hope they can do some upgrades to room 15.

I guess you get what you pay for
Been coming here for more than 15 years, mainly because of location and price. But now we have to move on. Even after remodel, it just feels dirty and very dated. Also, parking is extremely difficult and hotels lot has very narrow spaces and is on a rather steep slope, so expect dents and scratches from cars next to it as they struggle to open doors uphill, or they fly open down slope. I guess we’re just getting old because all the slippery stairs, no allowed use of outdoor sitting/ fireplace area are just too hard to overlook any longer, even if the place is $75 or so a night cheaper than others nearby Sorry

2/10 Poor

First disappointing stay from places on this site
The room was decent , but the door just has a knob lock and looked like it had been broken into before . The door has scratches bad on the outside by the lock . We put a chair under the knob for safety . The worst part was the parking situation. It says parking available on site but it’s like 5-8 spots first come first serve and it’s a very busy area . We had to leave hazard light on to unload by the room and park three blocks away and when I asked about parking I got a quick rude answer that parking is limited and we just have to find wherever we can .

6/10 Good

Couldn’t get any sleep
It was quite expensive for an old motel type of property- but that’s pretty typical for Carmel. The place is very clean. It has fresh paint. The tub had been painted (I think ) so there were a lot of weird discolored areas on the enamel. But one really awful thing was an extremely LOUD heat/AC unit that cycled on and off all night. We couldn’t get any sleep until my husband unplugged it very early in the morning.

the man working the front desk was very kind. I shared my grandmother was unable to go up steps and was able to accommodate moving our room. Rooms were very spacious and clean. I liked the fact that it felt like I was a local, would stay here again.

4/10 Fair

The room with the fireplace had a cover in front of the flames that you could barely see them. The windows were dirty. No phone in the room to contact the front desk. Parking on the street was for 2 hours, so you needed to look for a street that did not have a 2 hour restriction. 3 blocks from town not bad but some blocks were up hill.
