Owner and property manager---Carolla was helpful and quick in getting back to me. Thought was shown in little things, like paper plates, towels, and plastic utensils--- along with a bottle opener and knife for cheese (I used it for oranges) Along with good coffee and bottled water. The major issue for me was the bathroom, where it appeared remodeled with nice features but was difficult to navigate due to the space with these fixtures crowding each other. I had to scoot myself between the edge of a large sink to use the toilet. When I used the sink I had to make sure the door was closed to have space, same with the use of the shower. Sad as these were nice fixtures.

Was not able to turn on the hair dryer. And the soap dispenser in the shower only dispensed 2 squirts on the first day. None after that. For we elderly people, perhaps handrails for safety in the shower would be beneficial

Property owners are friendly. TV did not work whatsoever. No one in office to help. Grounds are run down and unkempt. Room has no central air and was uncomfortably hot. This is a flea-bag motel, but located in an ideal spot in Carmel Valley.

We loved the location, gardens, pool area, wildlife, and affordable price. The tv worked, inside was clean, and included a mini fridge and microwave. The owner was very nice. Things were enjoyable for three days while we were the only guests. When friendly neighbors arrived, we realized that the walls are tissue paper thin. We could hear quiet conversations on both sides of our room. Felt like I needed to say BLESS YOU when a neighbor sneezed. Even though their tv was at a low volume, I could still hear all the dialogue. The outside space is also tiny with just a few inches between chairs in the shared patio space. Everyone was lovely but it was impossible to relax with talking on both sides of the walls. Neighbor left their radio on low volume when they ran a few errands and it made us so crazy we left for an unplanned outing. Got stung twice by bees when at the pool. Not sure where hive was but each time we were on pool deck bees started swarming us. Chased us inside but then we had the neighbor noise issue.

Corola the property manager was amazing. The power had gone out in the area right before we got there, she was going to get us lanterns but it came back on so we called and let her know. Unfortunately the power only stayed on for 15 mins and then went back out the rest of the night. We disnt want to bother Corola to come out with the hope the power would come back on. Overall the property is very nice and bed was comfortable. Will need to visit again so we can really enjoy it more with power next time :). Corola was really amazing and refunded our night which really went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience. Appreciate her and will be back in the future.

Love this place.

Things started out great before we even arrived. We recieved a text from property managemnent telling us our room number and door code. We walked into the room and noticed quite a few things. 1. The room was small, but not terribly so. 2. The room had literally everything you could want or need for an enjoyable stay. A coffee maker with a full compliment of coffees. sweeteners, etc. None of those stupid plastic envelopes with one sweetner, one powdered creamer and a stir stick. (I hate those). Closet with pleanty of hangers. Extra blanket, etc. 3. The bathroom also had everything you need. 4. The towels were high quality and very soft. 5. Pamphlet with Local dining and shopping areas. 6. the bed was very comfy and the pillows are first rate. All in all a fantastic deal for the price.

Perfect Spot for a Chill Weekend

This small re-imaged motel was perfectly located for a chill weekend visit to Carmel Valley. Right in the heart of the village...plenty of outdoor chairs to enjoy a cuppa coffee or glass of wine, and a small pool to relax by. Priced right, too. Would stay here again in an instant.
