Fabulouss location within walking glance to downtown Carmel and great biking. Comfortable bed and stylish interiors with attentive staff. A little pricey for the quality but location location location.
This is really a motel with great branding. It is on a very loud corner. Our room was over $1,000 and it was not remotely worth it. The staff is very nice and there is a good breakfast but our room was directly on a busy road, next to the ice machine and we heard loud road noise, people accessing the ice machine, and doors slamming loudly all night. A terrible and very disappointing stay. Since I booked through Expedia, the hotel would not reimburse and I can't get through to Expedia customer service because my booking is in the past.
This charming hotel was a splurge for me. It was a beautiful room. The staff did not disappoint. We loved the breakfast and the cocktail hour provided. Thank you for making it special.
Great location. This hotel takes you back in time - beautifully decorated. The breakfast was fantastic and the chocolate chip cookies I the evening were a nice touch. Price paid for room was too high.
Best part about this hotel is the location. It’s right at the end of Ocean Ave and a short walk to cafes, shops and restaurants. The bed was comfortable and shower pressure was awesome.
Room was small but nicely appointed , staff was courteous and responsive . The breakfast service was great and we enjoyed the baked goods and green juice !
Beautifully designed hotel. Lovely rooms; beautifully clean! Lots of little thoughtful extras - cookies at bedtime, lovely complimentary breakfast, excellent staff providing a wonderful level of service.
The room was perfectly cleaned and cozy. The staff were kind, professional, and knowledgeable about the area and local events. Breakfast was delicious! I look forward to staying there again.
Property has a great location because it’s close to all the stores and restaurants. Few walks away from great restaurants and super close to the beach! The room was nice, clean, and cozy! Both the interior and exterior of the property were beautiful. Every corner was instagram-able. Staff were nice and accommodating. Would definitely book here if we decide to come back to Carmel!
The details MATTER here! Every little inconvenience you could think of, they tried to offer some solution for it. It’s a beautiful room that’s cozy, filled with Diptyque products to unwind to in the shower, Marvis toothpaste samples, and even a little Nespresso machine with both tea and coffee options. They give you cookies every night. The free breakfast in the morning is so curated and aesthetic. You’re welcomed with glass of rosé upon arrival. They even have one of those British water heating bags in case you get cold at night for the ultimate comfy sleep. The only caveat is there’s no AC to control in the room and the walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors - but again, they give you ear plugs for that!! Wonderful stay, will likely stay again the next time and make it a little ritual each year.

Cute hotel and love the amenities. Nice touch to have a glass of rosé when checking in as well as cookies!
Only thought I had was the room lacked any decent lighting so getting ready (hair/makeup) was a bit difficult. Other than that good room!
Loved that they even had a hair straightener and steamer in the room
