Charming Carmel
I usually stay here. It is an older property but very well maintained and always clean. It is quiet and I sleep well. They are renovating room by room. No refrigerator, no microwave. Close to Ocean Ave, the pier, 3rd street promenade. TV reception was intermittent this go round but that is not that important to me. More economical than the higher end places and comfortable. Secure parking.

Concert in L.A.
The description says it has 2 bars, it does not. There was no fridge in the room, which is a bummer. The staff was excellent and beyond. The location is superb.

Meh
Stayed before was great. This time the room was above a literal night club so the bass was going strong into the weee hours not ideal if trying to sleep. Bed sounded and felt like it was going to fall apart.

The hotel is old but the room is renovated and clean. The best of the hotel is close to the beach and a lot of restaurants nearby. Thk to the hotel for letting us early checkin.

2/10 Poor

Not a good experience for 3 rooms!!!
This really was terrible. Hotel is undergoing renovation. Elevator out of service.I had international guests and 4th floor with no elevator. Contruction work generated oil fumes in the rooms that caused chest, eye and mouth irritations. I am not one to complain but this really was terrible and not acceptable.

2/10 Poor

I booked this hotel as a historic hotel with a great location. The room I booked was exactly as it was shown in the picture but it was facing an alley and had 2 bars close enuf that I was able to feel the base of the music until closing time. Yelling, screaming in the alley at all hours was typical and kept us from sleeping much at all. I was happy to be on the top floor and felt badly for others lower in the building that had to tolerate the noise and smells. The HVAC system in the building was completely inconsequential - smells from other units were coming into our room thru a bathroom vent that seemed to have no draw to it and the smell of pot in the hallway coming under the door was disgusting. many of the rooms had plastic over the doors as they were in a state of renovation - this was not noted on the hotel info when I reviewed it prior to booking. The flooring in the hallways was grossly dirty. We will not be back to this hotel but the Marriott Courtyard nearby looks real nice. The Desk staff were pleasant and seemed competent with regards to checkin and checkout but until there are major changes to this place I would not refer friends to it.
