It was fun to open the half door in our room to the street. Nice, clean and the 2 rooms were separated by a door we could leave open or closed.

Mabel

Disliked: Amenities
The bed was really stiff and uncomfortable and the bedding was lacking and very scratchy. The fireplace pilot light can't be turned off and emulates heat throughout the night, making the room extremely stuffy.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The price and location were amazing. Only four blocks from the main street of Carmel. For Carmel the price was quite cheap. Our upstairs room had a distant view of the ocean and coastline. The room was clean and both the room and hotel appeared to be updated more recently. It is an older style hotel with only stairs, which was a bit inconvenient. The staff was very friendly.
