The room was 80F when I arrived after 6PM. I’m aware that air conditioning is not common in the area, but here were no fans available either. The room was hot with still air. Guest services refused any accommodation. Didn’t stay over night and forfeited $250. Do not recommend. Stay elsewhere in Carmel.

Lovely option in the heart of Carmel. Special thanks to the front desk staff who provided a fan (rooms don’t have air conditioning and no screen on sliding glass door). Breakfast was good with plenty of options for all appetites (don’t leave food unattended on outdoor tables or the seagulls will eat it!). Grounds are well decorated with colorful flowers and plants. There’s a heated pool and plenty of on site parking.

We were delighted with our stay. The facility was so clean, breakfast was nice. Coffee was great! Service was exceptional! We had a little trouble with the lock on our door and they were on it immediately. One of our partoed did wish there was an extra mirror in their room other than just in the bathroom. Nice to not have to share a mirror to do makeup. There was an extra mirror on the door in our room, so it was perfect. And the balcony, oh my gosh, we spent so much time out there. The view was spectacular!

Very clean property and friendly front desk. Our 5th floor room had a sliding glass door to a balcony and view of the bay. Good location with the Outdoor mall, and Ocean Avenue shops two blocks away and Brunos market next door. On Thursdays mornings the farmers market is across the street. The ocean is a 10-15 walk down Ocean Ave and the Normandy and Lamp

Can’t beat the location

Great location. Walking distance to everything. Nice rooms. Clean. Friendly staff. Only cons were, like most places in Carmel, there is no ac and the walls are very thin. The room gets very warm if the weather is warm. You can open the windows but you will hear everything from the parking lot. You can hear everyone’s water running, doors slamming, and loud talking. The pros far out weigh the cons and I’d definitely stay here again. Cooler times of year and bring ear plugs
