We stayed here for the Manning Camp which was very convenient. Location was great but I don’t think the place has been maintained in 20 years. The ac was either on or off that was the only settings. When it was one it worked great but it was like sleeping in a freezer. The hot water also worked great but would burn you if not careful. We had to get light bulbs from the office and change them our selves. It was ok for what guys need but I doubt my wife would have stayed here. It was kind like camping in an old broken down RV.

Carmel Inn is a lovely local place to stay if you don't want somewhere fancy. It definitely is "antique." The faucets are leaky and the floor is grimey, but you won't find better service or a cheaper room anywhere else in town.
