Great location, friendly staff. Bed wasn’t the most comfortable ( also made a lot of noise just repositioning). Direct Tv kept going out. It served its purpose for being close to beach and a place to lay your head down at night.

I liked to have been accommodated with the family room the room was nice, clean, spacious enough for us, beds were comfortable we really loved the hotel valet parking and the walking proximity to the beach and Santa monica pier without having to take our truck out of valet parking, since parking can be a headache in this area. Overall it was a great stay walking distance to restaurants and many stores we will definitely stay at Hotel Carmel again thank you.

The hotel staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean and beds were very comfortable. Suites are quite roomy. Very close to the beach. Concerns: Water pressure is low. There was no hair conditioner in the shower, just “conditioning shampoo” which doesn’t cut the mustard for women with long hair. Finally, ther certificate of inspection in the elevator was nearly a year out of date. Given that the elevator was bumpy at best, this is a big concern.

Overall, a very cute, unique old school hotel. I loved the vibe & the people were nice. They just need to add a few extras like a mini fridge, microwave, & darkening curtains. The air conditioning unit was also extremely loud.

The staff are super friendly and very accommodating. At first glance I was a little concerned by the appearance, and you might be too, but, don't let the reception decor and hallway carpet fool you. The room was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was in excellent condition. I highly enjoyed my stay and would book again.

Good Location, Could do with improvements

The Hotel is in a fantastic location downtown in a nice part of the neighbourhood. The rooms could do with an upgrade. The aircon unit is so loud each night that it wakes you up when it starts up. It's beyond silly. The rooms could do with modernising and the walls are thin. The staff were great, the bed was comfortable enough
