Pros:

Local pitoresco, como toda cidade. Quarto com lareira, cama confortável. Cafeteira no quarto. Máquina de gelo à disposição.

Cons:

Ficamos nos quartos debaixo. Dá pra ouvir todo barulho do quarto vizinho ao lado e de cima, o que prejudica o descanso e privacidade.
Não há frigobar.
Embora tenha máquina de gelo, não há filtro de água.
Chuveiro com box pequeno (largura e altura).

Pros:

Die Lage direkt im Zentrum ist genial! Die Grünanlage um das Haus ist sehr hübsch.

Cons:

Der Preis ist natürlich recht hoch - aber: Es ist Carmel by the sea. Somit wieder gerechtfertigt.

Cozy room in a nice location
Pros:

Front desk staff and cleaning staff great. Both women who cleaned our room were very gracious and eager to please. Beautiful small courtyard. Room clean although very small. I think in the future we would look for a larger room. It was difficult to move around with two suitcases open. It is 3 blocks from town - nice location.

Cons:

Parking limited and at times had to park in front of another hotel down the street. Channels on television limited to just a few. Room was very hot but we came during unexpected heat wave and the room is advertised as having no air conditioning. We saw people walking in with fans and soon understood why.
