Overall, the hotel appeared to be clean. However, it was extremely dated, from the bathrooms to the beds. It felt more like a motel 6 than a "Hotel".
Also, there were very few dining options that were close to the hotel. Luckily we were only there for 1 night.
The staff were nice although they needed help as there was only 1 person working at registration.
Bottom line, if you're just looking for a quick stopover to rest, this will do fine.
Friendly staff, walkable. Only wish there was a charging station in the parking lot.

We were severely disappointed by our stay at this hotel. The pictures definitely led us to believe this was a much more luxurious hotel than it actually is. Our room was on the first floor, which was facing the street where construction was happening daily at 8 AM. The walls are thin and we could hear everything the upstairs guests were doing. Severe lack of privacy as there is no private patio, simply a hallway for all guests on the first floor. There is no AC. Outdated bathroom with poor water pressure. Many of the TV channels didn’t have signal. Parking is extremely limited and cramped. We had to resort to street parking multiple times. We did like the social hour with sangria and fresh cookies. The continental breakfast was nice as well. However, this is a 3 star hotel AT BEST and definitely not worth 300 nightly. We won’t be staying here again.
Hotel Carmel has a fabulous outdoor fireplace, fire pit, mimosas & chocolate chip cookies in the lobby each night, a fantastic breakfast, and a wonderful staff! Our room was very clean and the property was extremely well kept. The Restaurants and shops are only a block or more away. If you are not a walker Carmel is not the place for you. It’s hilly and most of the side walks are not flat. This hotel does not have an elevator, and there are three floors. None of this bothered us, as we love to hike. We look forward to staying at Hotel Carmel on our next trip!
