The smoke alarm went off at 1:00am!! Was not happy about that. My husband had the get a chair and take it off the ceiling! Mentioned to front desk the next day they could give us 1:00pm checkout. We were already checking out so that did no good. Location great

We have stayed at sister inns to this, and it is clearly inferior. It is an old hotel and struggles to meet what we expect when travelling these days. The furniture choices make the small space feel even more cramped than it is. The beds were a special sore point; they nearly drowned you in excessive comforters, and the sheets were too big. The big plus is location, location, location; it sits in a perfect place to easily wander through Carmel.
