Hotel Carmel

10/10 Excellent
"Nice hotel ,good location , comfortable stay. Only issue was WiFi was unstable. Called feont desk they said many guest using. Maybe they should upgrade the wife. Could.not do any work on my computer without stable WiFi. The bathroom shower area body soap was empty when we came. Maybe attention to detail could be improved. Overall a good hotel to stay."
