Very friendly service . Loved how close it was to downtown. The only thing didn’t like was walls are thin and I’m light sleeper and wish continental breakfast was better. The market deli place next door had delicious things so we were close to all conveniences including lovely bakery

Great hotel in the heart of Carmel

Very good rooms and our room came with an amazing view of Carmel Bay. The only criticism I can offer is the toilet seat in the bathroom was very cheap and flimsy. Otherwise, great views, clean room, comfortable with a gas fireplace to heat up on cold and foggy evenings.
