6/10 Good

Ah, could be a better experience

The hotel ran an hour late to let us check in. That was a bit annoying. The hotel is charming but the rooms are extremely small. The beds are extremely comfortable. The only window view we had was of the small courtyard. It felt a bit claustrophobic. The tv in the room was hanging by a thread and ultimately required fixing by the hotel staff and my husband. It still did not work after all was said and done. The hotel's included breakfast was delicious. No complaints there. We treated ourselves to a couples massage and the masseuses were wonderful, however the spa room was right newr an open window from the main road in which you heard the motorcycles and street traffic throughout the massage. Definitely not as relaxing as one may like. The hotel staff tries to be accommodating but everything seems to be more complex then it needs to be. Such as requesting bottles of water...they need to run it by this person to get it from this person. Simple things! And finally, there is an elderly man who lives near by but has adopted this hotel as his own hang out. He likes to play music and his phone pretty loud in the mornings in the middle of the courtyard with no regard for the paying guests. The hotel shoudl really manage that situation better.

Great stay- we will be back!

My cousin and I spent just one night at El Carmen, and we wished we could have stayed longer. The beds were very comfortable, bathroom was newly renovated, and the rooftop restaurant was lovely. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Overpriced noisy boxy room with great breakfast.

The “deluxe king room” was quite plain, nothing like website photos. Only two small windows high up with no view. BIG problem was that one window was broken open several inches and let in way too much street noise: loud motorcycles roaring by for hours on end. Jamming in air plugs helped, but still intolerable. Bed was hard, so I woke up with sore hips and sore ears from ear plugs. Finally, hot water took minutes to heat up, and then might turn cold depending on whoever else was using water in supply line. On a high note, breakfast was excellent, a plethora of tasty choices. We also had pizza and fettuccine dinners, excellent!

Great location one block from town square. We had a room with a wall right next to the street so a little noisy for our liking. Otherwise great place to stay!

The hotel is small and extremely well located. It is more expensive than other similar hotels in the area, BUT the quality of the service, cleaning fee, breakfast and overall confort and location makes up for the price difference. I highly recommend it.

Great location, staff provided good service, I would recommend having breakfast at the restaurant. Major issue was the remodeled bathroom was poorly remodeled, where the bathroom would basically flood every time you took a shower.
