friendly staff, on site parking, clean room, comfortable bed, unrivaled (seriously) shower head pressure, peekaboo ocean view, hot tub, delicious complementary continental breakfast and mimosas, walking distance to shops and restaurants.
The location was excellent in down-town Carmel. The staff was friendly and efficient and made our stay very memorable. We will definitely stay here again.
Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the lobby exceeded our hopes. Nice hot tub and fireplace in the patio /garden area. Clean rooms. Nice ambiance.
Hotel is very nice. It is located in a very quiet area but walkable to downtown. Very good restaurants located around hotel. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Fireplace is a nice touch in the room.

Great location, personable staff, good breakfast and well appointed room.
What a beautiful hotel, exactly as described, great position. The room was beautifully clean and the fireplace is a lovely touch. Perfect facilities. The breakfast provided was amazing, the variety and quality was above what we were expecting, cannot recommend this hotel enough. We would love to come back. Thank you
The room was lovely. The staff was helpful and friendly. What could be eliminated is the additional $40 a night charge for amenities even if there were no additional amenities used.
The hotel staff was very accommodating even after the power went out for a few days. They had lanterns and lights for everyone and they were so friendly. The fresh breakfast was amazing.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. It is such a cute spot and very close to restaurants, shopping, and drinks! It is so quiet and serene. The room was very clean and tidy. The surrounding common areas were also very clean and inviting. I will definitely book again.
Room was in need of a deep cleaning, carpets were severely stained, toilet ran the whole time, tv would just change channels randomly. Location is amazing & staff was great. Hotel is just out dated for the price.

Here’s the good: breakfast, comfortable beds. Here’s the bad: lights outside of the room short the room all night, walls are thin- could hear snoring in the room next door, decor was not so great- plastic headboards, baths are old, carpet dirty.
