    The Rod Iron railing going up into property was very rickety and unstable .The property has a lot of potential but it does need a refresh .

    Loved the location Julian was very nice and attentive

    I would’ve like if the rugs were cleaned from stains but more so if the windows were cleaned in room 17. It seemed like it’s been awhile since that’s been done.

    Always enjoy the staff. Very informative and friendly.

    I went to the office on our first night as the railing to the office is broken badly, the cement around the rail are broken! Dangerous! and it was raining. The older man in the office was rude after I told him about the railing. We also booked 3 nights and had to move from our favorite room as someone else had book that particular room! missing our breakfast. Other than that the sun came out and saved our stay.

    Awesome service with the younger inn assistants.

    The room really wasn’t that clean. There was a ton of dust on the ceiling fans. The walls at some point had been repainted, but they didn’t cover over everything so it was multiple colors in some places. The hot water only lasted about 3 minutes and the water in the sink came out brown at one point.

    We liked the location of the property. It was very charming on the outside

    I found two things odd. I asked for a Queen room. I got a Queen room and a separate room with twin beds. Also, the room didn't have a closet.

    The location was perfect, and the fact that the facility included free parking was great.

    Can’t really think of anything significant .

    It was very nice - we had a very large room with a fireplace which was nice - it was upstairs so, very quiet. The Innkeeper was so friendly & nice - the minute we walked into the office he knew our name & made us feel so welcome & happy

    Person who checked us in was a total weirdo! We arrived early after driving for two hours. Wouldn’t allow us to use a bathroom on site. My Mom is 80 years old with Dementia and walks with a cane ! He didn’t want to be bothered, interact etc. Then our rooms were up two flights of stairs and there is no elevator. One of the stair rails was wobbly . There was dog poop in the back. Pillows were too soft.

    Close to the main part of Carmel. Could also see a view of the Ocean

    I could hear my neighbors talking, sneezing, using the bathroom.

    Carmel on a budget. Easy parking, close to all the shops and restaurants. Two Queen beds in separate areas of the room with a door to close them off. Mini fridge and ceiling fan were helpful.

    The bathroom had mold around the tub. The rooms were not soundproof. The gentleman who checked us in and to whom we spoke one other time seemed grumpy and gruff the staff who was there in the morning was very pleasant. Cleaning staff was very nice as well. There were empty flower pots, unlike other places in the area.

    Location was great. The size of the bedroom was large and comfortable. The floors were new.

    There was no extra furniture in the room but a small outdoor metal cafe table and 2 small metal outdoor chairs. No in room coffee maker. Thin, worn towels. The front office was closed for several hours in the middle of the day. No phone in the room to contact front desk.

    This is an older hotel in a great location. The parking is completely lacking in terms of the price. The dog friendly room was on the 2nd floor, the stairs were very steep and difficult for our dog.
