This was a great motel for an overnight stay. I went to a concert in Carmel and stayed here overnight. The staff was very friendly and provided a lot of information about the area. The room was spacious and had all the amenities I needed for an overnight stay. It was also in a great location because it was across the street from a mall overall great day and I look forward to coming back next time. I’m in Carmel.

The Staff was extremely friendly; however, I would Not recommend staying at this property unless it is the only place you could afford. The room was old and in poor condition, and the bed sheets were still dirty. The Staff was wonderful, but I wouldn’t come back sorry to say.
