Terrible
The hotel is terrible, the room is old with a terrible smell of old and moldy things, the breakfast is terrible, one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in my life, it is never worth what I paid more than $400 dollars per night, everything is bad in the hotel

The location was great, the room itself was good but the bed was very uncomfortable. The walkway leading to the room looked dirty.

Average hotel
Hotel was very nice but didn’t give 5 stars because check in is at 3 and we got there at 3:45 and the employee just kept saying you’ll have to come back after 3 because your room isn’t ready. When I questioned the time another employee said it’s because I booked last minute. Weird. Also don’t expect breakfast- it basically yogurt bananas or tiny muffins. Besides those two things the room was really nice, comfy beds and very clean. The hotel is in a great location to walk town. Also the am employees were very nice.

Quaint yet expensive
Our stay was great. We love Carmel. The room was good, it was clean. The woman at check-in was lovely.
Overall, it was really expensive at $500 for one night. It wasn't worth that amount of money. The 'breakfast' is not great, pre packaged hard boiled eggs... some whole fruit, cheap pastries.
I've walked by this hotel for years, and have always thought it looked quaint. It is.
It was quite, which I was concerned about because our cabin was on the main street. But it was okay at night.

It was wonderful! The staff were very helpful and friendly. The woman that was in charge of the breakfast was so sweet, helpful and fun! We will definitely be coming back. After we left the staff called to say we left something behind and offered to ship it to us.
