Health Department needs to shut down!

Rita at front desk very kind and helpful 10/10 Hotel rated 8 online at hotels.com, VERY disappointed in condition of room. Would have expected MUCH more for an 8/10 rating! I would rate this hotel 3/10 (probably generous!) No hotel phone in room yet gives numbers to call. No bathroom sink plug. NO BATH TOWELS! (not even when asked for...said they were coming in any day...WHAT? Room had 1 hand towel and 1 washcloth. Washcloth was folded weirdly. Sticky floors. Leaking faucet handle on sink in bathroom. Crooked lamps. Floor lamp not plugged in. Severe lack of plugs, especially by beds. TV would not turn on. Painted very poorly throughout! Dirty doors and door casings. Only two mismatched hangers. Clock radio not plugged in and found under bed. Beds very poorly made. Pillow case put on inside out. No quilts, comforters or bedspreads on beds. Road noise. Hair on bathroom wals across from toilet. Electric plug plate above kitchenette sink, not even attached to wall. Exposed all wires when I removed cord to charge phone. Pennies and debris found side of microwave oven. Mirror above bathroom sink in disrepair. Overall room poorly organized. Overall room in VERY POOR condition and in need of updates/repairs. Only stayed the night, as it was late. We called hotels.com and they gave us credit. The hotel, as I remember, would not give us credit. Did not dare put feet on the filthy floor without shoes. Afraid to eat breakfact there! Changed to Holiday Inn Express. It was EXCELLENT!

When we got to the room, there were no towels or washcloths nor soap or any other toiletries. The furniture was old and very worn. We were told breakfast would be from 6:30 - 9:30. Went to breakfast, there was no breakfast. The coffee pot in the room still had a used coffee filter in it with mold. We will not go back.

Carmel Inn is a lovely local place to stay if you don't want somewhere fancy. It definitely is "antique." The faucets are leaky and the floor is grimey, but you won't find better service or a cheaper room anywhere else in town.

The bed was terrible, neither of us slept mattress was horrible, the pillow were flat and tiny. The carpet did not look clean and the tub looked dirty. Not a fan and won't stay here again.

Our Experience

The rooms are run down, the bath and shower were disgusting. The floors are black from dirt, don't walk barefoot! The tub handles were broken and did't shut off all the way, so for our entire stay the water ran. We had to ask for towels most of the days we were there. Ours were picked up but not left. The front desk people are also the cleaning people. Apparently they can't get help. The one good thing, and i don't know how this happened, there is a wonderful Italia/Greek restaurant inside the hotel.

You get what you pay for

Bathtub had soap residue and I neatly slipped getting in. Floor was the same. King bed sinks in the middle. Free breakfast was a joke. Cereal with no milk, packaged danish sticks, no juice, dry looking sandwiches. You get what you pay for. Spend a little extra and go elsewhere.
