Great service but a little skimpy on conveniences

Overall very friendly staff. The bathroom the doesn’t have a hook for bath towels. The toilet wasn’t caulked, so at the right angle a little bit of water would leak. No bags in the trash cans.

Shower was broken and was told it would be fixed by the time we returned from the marathon, but the guy didn’t show up to fix it. The manager tried to fix it but totally broke it. Had to change rooms without compensation. No bedside reading lights. Washcloths had holes in them. No blackout shades and shutters let light in all night from outside. Extremely expensive for what you get…motel 6 quality hotel

The room was very nice and large, and seemed to have been recently renovated. Across the street from DelMonte shopping center, it’s equidistant between Carmel and Poppy Hills. Three senior guys with golf gear sleeping in the same room could be difficult but with the two king beds and sleeper sofa, it worked out fine (and we’re still friends).
