Carmelle

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Location fantastic! But the small grassy area for guests had three lounge chairs two completely broken and side table broken. No drinking/water glasses in room and no coffee maker. Bathroom door didn’t quite close and not all outlets work. Hardly saw any staff they provided no information. Door locks are just a push lock no dead bolt or chain. Best feature is quiet ocean beach is right there.
This beach is right there at end of path
