Recent Reviews in Carmel

5/5 Excellent

"Nice to have two bathrooms, though the first morning only the bathroom with a tub seemed to have hot water even later putting the water all the way to hot in the bathroom with a shower. Nonetheless, two bathrooms and toilets was a pleasant surprise and a door to access street parking making loading/unloading our car much easier from room 9. Also was not particularly fond of the air freshener smell in the room. If there's a mildew issue with the AC, be better to just treat it every week with anti mildew mold spray to prevent it, but the other benefits of the property outweighed this and the manager at the desk was very helpful with everything - extra key, ice, towels, etc. "
