Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Pros: 1. The room though fairly small and plain seemed clean, had clean towels and a refrigerator. 2. Reasonably low-priced room. 3. The thermostat-controlled fireplace did a good job of keeping the room to the temperature setting. 4. It allows pets for those that have them (not us though) Cons: 1. This is a no-frills room, no coffee-maker and very tiny complementary soaps, no breakfast in the lobby (just coffee & hot water only) and the lobby hours were limited. 2. Limited parking - there were about 7 spaces behind the hotel for at least 16 rooms. The 2 spaces reserved for registration were usually full. Street parking was 2-hours only during the day so you would need to keep moving your car when the hotel is full. 3. The building shows its age with some peeling paint so not at all fancy looking. You can hear voices and animals in neighboring rooms.

Perfect Hideaway
We love Carmel. This is the second stay and last year our nephew and his wife came and stayed here as well. This place is so nice and quiet. Close enough to everything so we never use our car. The owner is so friendly. We added an extra day and he accommodated us with no issues. We will stay again!!

The apartment was ugly and I froze all night. An absolutely horrible experience. Also terrible to subject an elderly lady with a heavy bag to many flights of stairs. I would never return.

I got very sick and was unable to make the trip. I called to cancel TWO days before my arrival, nobody answered the phone two different times I called. No voice mail. Used chat to send them a message which they didn’t respond to and when they finally called me back, they wouldn’t make an exception to cancel my reservation, therefore charging me for the room I didn’t stay in. Rude and I’ll never book a room here again.
