The room was very clean. The area was quiet. We received a complimentary breakfast basket at our door each morning. From 4-6, you could go to the office for complimentary cheese and wine. We enjoyed our stay

A charming place in Carmel. Easy to get in and out. A few blocks outside the more bustling part of the town. There are rooms on both sides of the street there. Easy check in and check out. In this town overall, don't expect brand new; that's not what this place is about. It's very nice, and we enjoyed our short stay very much here.

Lovely setting and accommodations. Enjoyable but dated and still enjoyable. Received well at registration desk; Rudy was very helpful. Breakfast was totally great and lots of coffee available. Interior bath and room were very clean but tired and needs updating.

Our stay was great. The location is walking distance to so many things, and the front desk staff gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and shopping. The continental breakfast was delivered to our door in the mornings in a cute picnic basket, and everything was fresh. The balcony was comfortable, and we had an ocean view. Lovely weekend!!

This was a really nice place to stay! Great location, close to the beach and restaurants, and the landscaping and all the flowers were gorgeous! The room was older but really clean and comfortable. I appreciated having access to the hot tub and outdoor fireplace and while I did not partake, the happy hour was a nice touch. The breakfast basket was also appreciated. The reception person seemed indifferent but I felt taken care of nonetheless. All in all, I'd stay here again.

An amazing hotel!

We had a lovely two night stay, Rudy on the front desk was fantastic, helpful, and informative, the room was a little dated but in excellent condition complete with fridge, coffee, microwave and plenty of space. The breakfast they served was really nice and their amenities including their happy hour was great. Would stay again!
