Carmel is amazing. The room was nice and location was perfect. The only challenges were the noise level and parking: the walls were very thin (could hear a lot of banging from housekeeping and the neighbors); and parking was difficult as the limited spots would fill up fast.

Loved how close it was to downtown and the ability to use the pool - the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The other tricky part was parking that you may need to park on top part of property, but overall an awesome stay !
