Carmel-by-the-Sea motels

Pros: Clean comfortable suite. Nice view toward Point Lobos. Breakfast adequate. Would have been nice to have pool open during fall heatwave.

Pros: Only one positive and that was location. Walking distance to main shopping area.

Cons: Room appears to have started renovation and never finished. Missing mirror in main room so left wall with glue and holes. Holes in ceiling from old ceiling fans or light fixtures never patched. Multiple thermostats, NONE operational. Shower broken and must be run with tub on full and not draining to get enough water through the shower. Black bugs. Staff was unhelpful and downright shady. For $400 a night my expectations were higher than a sleazy motel.

Cons: Did not have a mini fridge in our room even though it was stated that there was.

Pros: Close to downtown.

Cons: On the website it said they have a pool. When we got there they said the pool was closed for the winter even though it was 80° out. They should update their website to reflect this. There were only four cars in the parking lot but they put someone in the room right next to us And they decided to wake up at 5 AM and start talking very loudly. It's only for family staying there they should've split us up to give us some privacy and quiet. Remote for the TV did not work as well.
