The place is clean and neat. The staff are friendly and helpful. Only thing we didn't like is the shower. Water is low due to clogged shower head. And the sink the water drains slowly.

Close to Carmel town. Hotel was clean but dated. No air conditioning which doesn’t seem important because it cool in Carmel but the room was hot. Actually thought about keeping the door open for a cross breeze. It’s advertised as having an outdoor fireplace but it’s not turned on and the office is closed by nighttime so no one is around to turn it on.

Staying here was the best decision we’ve made for a vacation. The price was amazing and the location was perfect. It was very walkable from downtown Carmel and the beach. It was mostly quiet (except early morning traffic which was easily taken care of with the windows closed). The bed was so comfortable and everything was well stocked/clean. Can’t wait to stay again!
