Typical not expensive Carmel hotel. Area when most hotels are located, close to good restaurants. Small room. Very thin walls, you hear everything in neighbor rooms and outside as if they are walking in your room. Not very convenient mattress. Microwave and kitchen utensils inthe room, but strangely no bottle opener. Some websites say they have breakfast; pictures in sites including this one show breakfast served. Not true; they do not provide breakfast.

It was nice and very convenient to just walk into town. Front desk was very friendly .However staying on the ground floor w a room above was very very very loud. Anytime people used the stairs it was clunky loud noise. People above us probably walking and talking normally was so loud. We heard their baby cry too during the night. The occupied rooms next to us we didn't hear anything. Try not to stay in a ground floor room. They could use curtains to keep more light out.

Charming but very expensive the weekend we were there. Parking was extra and very difficult. Rooms were spacious but a bit dusty and dressing area off Tub and Toilet area was carpet which we did not like. Worst part were the Expedia terms which pretty much required a cancellation insurance extra charge and unacceptable cancellation policy. Would never use Expedia again
