Great location and access to downtown Carmel. We parked the car at the hotel and just walked the whole weekend. They have complimentary car charging as well so that was nice. Hotel room accomondations were great and bed was comfy. The complimentary breakfast options was really good, better than what I was expecting. Overall a great choice if you are looking for an in town accomondation.
