Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
When we got to the room, there were no towels or washcloths nor soap or any other toiletries. The furniture was old and very worn. We were told breakfast would be from 6:30 - 9:30. Went to breakfast, there was no breakfast. The coffee pot in the room still had a used coffee filter in it with mold. We will not go back.

Carmel Inn is a lovely local place to stay if you don't want somewhere fancy. It definitely is "antique." The faucets are leaky and the floor is grimey, but you won't find better service or a cheaper room anywhere else in town.

Me and my daughter felt unsafe, our door wouldn't close right from the outside. But seem to close ok front inside.. ODD! but we ended up propping the chair in our room against the door. The bed was terrible, neither of us slept mattress was horrible, the pillow were flat and tiny. The carpet did not look clean and the tub looked dirty. Not a fan and won't stay here again.

Our Experience
The rooms are run down, the bath and shower were disgusting. The floors are black from dirt, don't walk barefoot! The tub handles were broken and did't shut off all the way, so for our entire stay the water ran. We had to ask for towels most of the days we were there. Ours were picked up but not left. The front desk people are also the cleaning people. Apparently they can't get help. The one good thing, and i don't know how this happened, there is a wonderful Italia/Greek restaurant inside the hotel.

You get what you pay for
Bathtub had soap residue and I neatly slipped getting in. Floor was the same. King bed sinks in the middle. Free breakfast was a joke. Cereal with no milk, packaged danish sticks, no juice, dry looking sandwiches. You get what you pay for. Spend a little extra and go elsewhere.

This property is in need of renovation and cleanness. The furnishings were dusty, the floor was dirty and there was mucus in the sink where someone had spit. It was horrible and lead to gagging. There was even hair on the floor where housekeeping failed to mop or sweep. The whole experience was horrible and I couldn’t wait to leave from there. Dressers and countertops were chipped, gashed and immensely stained. The metal fixtures near the tub and bath were nearly falling off. Floors and carpets were soiled beyond measure. Never, ever again. Only once in my life did I stay at a worse proper. Disgusting!!!!
