No frills, but clean and well kept. Bed and pillows are hard, but I read the reviews and brought my own pillows and sleeping meds. Great staff. Expensive parking but it’s nice to know your car is being kept safe. Very well located for walking to restaurants and access to 3rd Street Promenade I’m very happy. Thank you Hotel Carmel!!
