Great location in the heart of downtown Carmel. Room was lacking amenities, no microwave, no coffee maker, small tv up high on top of tall cabinet, making it impossible to read on screen text, old, cheap looking furniture, hard mattress, small dark shower that dripped non stop.

Perfect location (across from the best vegan pizza we have ever had) since it’s just a few blocks off the main strip (Ocean). It is noticeably quiet. That said, the next door tenants talked loudly and we could hear it. This is not a lodge issue, but an etiquette issue of people not respecting the fact that others sleep as they wake early. Love that they allowed our traveling cat to come. Maybe tear out the old carpet and have clean/wood or tile floors.

A fine place to stay, set expectations accordingly
There's a lot of older motel properties in Carmel. This is one of them. Our unit was clean and fine, a typical motel, nothing special with a very vintage pink tile bathroom... and pricey as SanFran though that might be Carmel's going rate or maybe I should have shopped around more. The front desk staff was great and very helpful, and in covid times, it was nice to not have elevators or the like. Location is good - walking distance to the main drag and lots of restaurants/shops. Just don't expect it to be a super swanky place for the price.
