Great Night in Carmel

My room was easy to find and cozy. There was some noise from doors closing in other rooms, but nothing loud enough to keep me up. The shower was a nice with the three dispensers and the expected soap bars. The only real problem was parking l, which was a little awkward with how hilly Carmel is. The Inn is located right next to the major attractions and restaurants, a perfect location.
