Review Title: Challenging Stay Amidst Renovations and Parking Woes
My recent stay at a hotel in Carmel was marred by a couple of significant issues that future guests should be aware of. Firstly, the lack of on-site parking presented a considerable inconvenience from the get-go. Carmel is a charming town, but like many quaint destinations, it struggles with limited public parking options. Guests staying at this hotel should prepare to spend a good amount of time hunting for a parking spot, which is not the ideal start to a relaxing getaway.
Moreover, my hopes for a peaceful weekend retreat were dashed early on Sunday morning. Despite the anticipation of sleeping in and enjoying the serene environment that Carmel is known for, I was rudely awakened at 5 AM by the sounds of ongoing renovations. The loud noises of construction work, including hammering and drilling, were incredibly disruptive. While I understand the need for periodic updates and maintenance, the early timing, especially on a Sunday, seemed inconsiderate and poorly planned.
While the hotel itself boasts some redeeming qualities such as its prime location and potentially charming amenities, these were overshadowed by the parking difficulties and the early morning disturbances. I had looked forward to a tranquil stay, exploring the picturesque surroundings and enjoying undisturbed rest, which unfortunately was not the case.
