Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is cozy and charming, with clean rooms that had all the amenities I needed, putting it a notch above the nearby Best Western. The service was excellent and delightful to deal with, ensuring a great stay despite a slight inconvenience with the pool pump noise. The location is amazing, within walking distance of several restaurants and shops, which was incredibly convenient for exploring the town. However, it's a bit of a walk to reach the ocean from the top end of Carmel. The dining options were a mix of fresh and delicious items but lacked variety, particularly in the breakfast offerings. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall pleasant experience.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful! The rooms had a lot of charm and were cozy, though a bit dated. The shared patio offered a beautiful ocean view but lacked privacy. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, from the reception to the cleaning staff. The location was perfect, with easy parking and many fantastic restaurants nearby. The dining options were modest but suited my needs. Overall, a wonderful value for the stay.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were clean and cozy, equipped with excellent facilities in the kitchen area. While it's clear that these rooms are highly sought after by their loyal guests who book a year in advance, I found a way around this challenge.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room, although a bit outdated and could use some maintenance, was still comfortable and allowed for breakfast in the room. It had a lingering smell of smoke, indicating it might have been a smoking room in the past, and could benefit from a renovation. The service was exceptional, with friendly and accommodating staff who even upgraded us to a spacious suite at no extra cost. The location was convenient, within walking distance to downtown Carmel and offered easy access to explore the area. The dining experience, although limited, provided excellent fresh pastries. The facilities were adequate for a relaxing stay.
The hotel rooms were clean and cozy, featuring a small kitchenette and fireplace that came in handy during our 4-night stay. They had a charming vintage feel, but could use an update. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering perfect continental breakfast and attentive housekeeping. The location was quite convenient, close to Carmel downtown and Hwy 1, with friendly staff and walking distance to key attractions. The dining experience was good with some delicious muffins, although a bit overly sweet. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming stay with a few vintage touches.
