Cozy, comfy, good value for money

Liked:Very cozy and cute, onsite parking was comfortable, we stayed for one night and loved it. The whole town feels like being in a fairy tale

Disliked:The rooms are a bit too close to each other so it didn’t feel like we had enough privacy. Also I wish the kitchenette had an electric kettle. I had to boil water for my tea in the microwave, as it had only this American coffee pot warmer thingy, which is always lukewarm.

Rude

Liked:Cute, very central

Disliked:Wouldn’t have anything to say about the hotel, which is pretty and convenient, but the receptionist was very rude. In the first 5 minutes of our acquaintance she managed to: 1 require the presentation of a specific credit card i had ALREADY PAID the room with, even if it was in a bag at the bottom of the car trunk (had to open everything in the parking lot). No other form of ID was acceptable for her; 2 require that i move the car to the assigned parking lot while i was in the middle of said search; 3 suggest my friend went to the gas station to use the toilet as she did not have one available before check in and she could not allow entrance in the room before presentation of said credit card (she backed off on that one). If Carmel is a stop on the way and you’d rather have a smooth treatment for a night, If available, choose another hotel.
