2/10 Poor

It’s impossible to sleep given the loud music at the adjacent bar from 11AM - 2:30AM. Otherwise, it’s conveniently located. Also, the hotel doesn’t have a restaurant - but there are several good restaurants nearby.

The hotel has a great location, however the sorroundings are Ghost towns, beside the pier, nothing left to do, all shops & restaurants are abandoned. I stayed there 2 nights and theres a bar close by that has karaoke nights up until 3:00 am, couldn't sleep at all.

Located in the heart of downtown Santa Monica, the Hotel Carmel is conveniently situated to the Santa Monica Pier, the beach, shopping and dining. The Hotel Carmel is clean, simple and reasonably priced. If you are looking for a good budget minded Hotel we highly recommend the Hotel Carmel.

this hotel is fine. location is good. It’s clean and in reasonably good shape. However there is a very loud disco in the same building or nearby. The music goes from 9 PM to 2 AM at night. Even with earplugs in and the air conditioner on I could hear it very clearly, and it woke me up literally shakevthe music note
