Tremendously helpful front desk manager: unexpected street resurfacing outside my room, manager promptly switched me to other side of the building to a larger room, and waived a couple nights of destination fee; I barely finished my request for a move and she had it complete

We stayed one night in a double room. I personally would not spend more than one night there. The hotel is very old and had that old smell. The staff was friendly enough and the room was clean. The walls are super thin. We heard all the hallway noise including someone singing throughout the night while coming and going. The big perk is the location. You can't beat it. Short walking distance to everything you want to see. They charged more for valet parking since we booked through Exepdia. All in all 5/5.

No frills, but clean and well kept. Bed and pillows are hard, but I read the reviews and brought my own pillows and sleeping meds. Great staff. Expensive parking but it’s nice to know your car is being kept safe. Very well located for walking to restaurants and access to 3rd Street Promenade I’m very happy. Thank you Hotel Carmel!!
