It’s gone downhill over the years and doesn’t have the same charm as before or value for what you pay for the rooms.
It went from Port and Truffles, to chips and cookies, to nothing being left in the common area after our latest stay.
We used to look forward to the breakfasts but ours was a half hour late and it’s the first time I’ve had to use a knife to cut up a Eggs Benedict because the English muffin was way overdone.
We also weren’t a fan of the external camera outside with a view of the patio area around the hot tub. It just felt really creepy like you were likely being watched or recorded.
We used to be created warmly by Sagar when we arrived but the lady on duty was just matter of fact about things and not particularly helpful on the parking situation.
We will most likely go back to Carmel as we stayed there earlier and had a better experience.
Me and my wife were pleasantly surprised. The room was amazing with tons of character and the patio had a jacuzzi tub that was perfect. Throw in complimentary wine and cheese and an amazing breakfast carted into our room to make our stay extra special.
This was our second time staying here. The place is quiet and very nice and clean. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was really good and served to our room.
Only complaint was that the body wash/shampoo dispenser was completely empty, which I found out after I was already in the shower and wet, so I had to get out to get my own. It's easy to check the levels, so this obviously hadn't been checked in days, which should never happen. I reported it so that they could address the issue and they handled it well.
A lovely room, beautiful ambiance. tasteful details. We especially enjoyed the fact that it wasn't fully occupied so that we could enjoy having our adult kids over after the wedding to recoup & relive the memories of the weekend. Food was simple but delicious, and not too much food! We would stay there again!
