Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Entire property is tired, outdated, and in dire need of maintenance. Power went out for a few hours and- while no fault of hotel’s - they failed to pass along the notice they received. Also, many things didn’t work. Given it was a very big event week, we appreciated Hotels.com rate. However, when I asked about possibly extending one night, the offer was nearly three times the rate we had paid for the previous 3 nights. Also, did not appreciate their unsolicited warning “if you don’t return your keys within 10 minutes of check out you will incur an additional $50 charge.

The property was in disrepair in many areas. Some of the railings were damaged and downright dangerous. The pain was peeling off in many areas. The stairs had non-slip patches mostly worn off. In the room, the shutters were not maintained and did not work properly. One of the lamps was broken and tilted to one side. The bathroom sink faucet was wiggly. We had stayed at this place about 10 years ago and thought it was OK. We will be removing this place from our list of places in Carmel.
