Carmel Wayfarer Inn
Parking was fairly easy, staff was helpful, but rooms themselves need a lil TLC. Beds were hard and uncomfortable and the tv was not working properly.

Stilwell Hotel
Great location to downtown. Great patio and couches to sit on. Breakfast was fresh. Room was nice. Shower pressure needs improvement and took a bit to figure out how to put on hot water. Otherwise I would recommend this wholeheartedly. Staff was very nice in every encounter.
