"The motel was ok but nothing great. There was no room for us to park on the property so we parked on the street across the road. The sliding door opened out on a walk way so that the rooms around us could easily see in, not good. It was very cold at night, but there was a fire place to use."

"Staff very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean. The breakfast was very hearty. Extremely pet friendly. Parking is challenging in Carmel and the Hotel struggles with that. No gym and that’s disappointing. But overall, the places well located, and we will certainly return and recommend."
