Old world charm and character.
Pros:

Quaint historical lodging in the heart of beautiful Carmel. Warm and welcoming staff.

Cons:

Some minor noise issues between rooms probably related to the age of the building.

Good
Pros:

Location is very good, right on the main street of Carmel. Overall it is a nice place, just not awesome for the price it has

Cons:

Parking was full when we arrived (around 6pm), but we could park not too far away in a 2h spot and it was fine. There are less things to do in Carmel than we expected, but this is not the hotel's fault ofc

The area is nice, the parking situation is very inconvenient. Only one parking permit given but it doesn’t gurantee you
Pros:

It’s in a nice location surrounded by small shops and restaurants. It’s only a 10 minute walk to the beach, which is nice. The staff was lovely!

Cons:

They only give one car permit per room. The parking lot is extremely small and you can’t always find parking. I drove around for 30 minutes trying to find parking even though I was staying in the hotel. The room is very small, so was the bed.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Old and outdated, musty and moldy smell in the room and closet. Uncomfortable bed. Room and bathroom was so small and cramped. No air conditioning and room gets extremely warm. Also window opens to the street where cigarette smoke from the staff or workers across the street blows in all night along with a 7am wake up for the garbage/food delivery trucks right outside the window. There are better options I promise you!
