This hotel is a hidden gem! The room was so spacious, it was bigger than a lot of homes we have rented and was just perfect for what we needed! There is not an ocean view but it is just minutes from cannery row and the ocean. We needed a space big enough for a surprise trip for our mom where everyone had a bed and this place checked off all the boxes. We highly recommend this hotel, especially if you want more out of a hotel room than just 2 queen beds for multiple people.

Stay was very good. The rooms are compact, but efficient nicely done in modern. We were there for a week for a meeting and it worked well as it was just five minutes downtown to the venue and considerably less expensive than the big hotels. Plus city parking was only nine dollars a day so that worked.
The manager was most accommodating and polite. The room housekeeping is only every couple days so keep that in mind when you’re using your towels. Hang them up to dry.!
I would come back again...

Very nice, clean and quiet. Perfect location to visit downtown or the beach! We needed extra towels and the lovely lady was more than happy to accommodate. The gentleman at the desk was also extremely helpful if we needed anything at all, restaurant suggestions, activities, he was able to assist.

Interesting throwback to motor inns, but with updated amenities. The only thing I didn't like was the outdoor stairs. It rained during our visit and stairs required careful negotiation.

The room was clean, had a cute fire place and was quiet. We traveled from Sacramento and checked in very late but they made it easy even though the office was closed. The staff was friendly. We walked cannery row to the aquarium and had a great time.

In town for my daughters wedding. This was just for one more night because we wanted some extra time in Carmel. The room is no frills, and exactly what we expected. Perfect for the evening. Great location in town. Walking distance to shopping and dining.
