Not good

It really started out badly. The door card key was very finnicky. It was not intuitive and I needed help getting into the room (my neighbor said same). Once I got into the room, the tv wasnt working and needed to be reset. I reset it but it still didnt work. I was moved to another room. Then, I got breakfast delivered when I specifically said, no to. So, I paid for something I didnt want. The location is good and the room was comfortable.

This is the cancellation policy as stated on the hotel's website. "All reservations have a standard fully refundable cancellation policy of 72 hours prior to the date of arrival by 3:00pm, unless stated otherwise on the guest confirmation. All reservations cancelled in advance of the cancellation policy deadline are fully refundable." Something came up and we needed to cancel the reservation more than 10 days prior to the deadline. The hotel refused to cancel our reservation. I worked with Expedia and I tried to reach out to the hotel, to no avail. I don't understand what was so different about my reservation, Maybe it was some sort of deal they had with Expedia that makes it no cancelable. Expedia would only say, "Sorry, the hotel refused." The hotel is refusing to discuss with me. So I could only speculate as to the reason why. The lesson here seems to be, don't use Expedia to book this hotel if you must and the price is similar; or don't trust the hotel's concellation policy.

Great location to all shops and restaurants. Arrived a bit earlier to see if there was early check-in but had a sign saying they’d be back in 20 mins. Called and did get ahold of someone and said we can check in at 2 and they’d call so that worked out as we walked around downtown (they said we could leave our car there). Coffee maker not working was a bummer but only a small inconvenience and we did have a bit of trouble with the room key (had to slide it a few times for it work. Room looked and felt clean and they provided a nice little breakfast baskets in the morning. All in all, a good stay and would consider them again when staying in Carmel.

Parked the car and enjoyed easy walks around town. Their breakfast basket is brilliant and thoughtful filled with fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal and other goodies perfect to start the day with a light breakfast. Cozy and well decorated room had all the necessities we needed.

I told person at the desk everything was great except for the shower which had the worst water pressure/volume I’ve ever experienced. Just terrible! It barely was able to get the soap off your body. Other than that it was great! The breakfast was awesome and very generous. We have stayed there before and if the next time the water is the same I probably will choose elsewhere.
