    Dirty outside around the rooms. Construction materials & milk crates stacked around in the parking lot. Parking was tight. The bathroom had no towel racks or shelves to put anything during our stay. The walls were thin and the guests next door were very loud talkers. We could hear every word they said. Very annoying.

    Room was clean Continental breakfast delivered to the room, was a nice touch Walking distance to the center of town

    The rooms on the first floor are very dark and the walls are thin and not soundproof. The decor/furniture are also passed.

    Conveniently located, beds fairly comfortable and the staff was helpful

    The close proximity to downtown Carmel by the Sea.

    The water pressure in the shower was too weak. It took us longer to shower and wash the soap. The balcony sliding door lock did not latch to lock. They had a long piece of wood standing at the end of the sliding door, maybe to brace the door as a lock. We saw a foot print in the balcony ledge that looked like somebody was trying to go across from the other room previously. The hotel receptionist did not even inform us that they were serving breakfast when we checked in which was included. I always bring disinfectant wipes when go to hotels. I wiped down the chairs, tables refrigerator and found it to be not so clean. When we were to check out at 8am and there was no one at the office. There was another guest waiting to check out, and she said we had been waiting for an hour. I had to call the office from my cellphone, and the hotel employee answered and said, "You can place the key in the room and lock the door" The other guest said so there is no breakfast if the office is close. It was not a pleasant experience.

    Rooms are dark, cramped. Too much furniture (cabinets) you’re never going to use. Surprised that breakfast came in a basket. That in itself is ok-ish, but pickup time of the basket (between 830 and 900) is too limited.

    Location immediately next to the city center; free parking on site.
