The heater in our room was very noisy and did not work well. I was very cold both nights, even after asking for an extra blanket. The service was excellent at the front desk.

Cute room with a view

We had a corner room in the building on the street behind the main property. There was a large patio with amazing views of the town and the ocean. Even though it was January, we still sat outside to watch the sunset. On a chillier evening, we lit the fireplace for a cozy winter evening. The location is terrific - walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping in the town of Carmel. Typical free breakfast, but good enough to get a start on the day. The room was clean and quiet. I do wish the chairs, both at the table outside and the table inside, had been more comfortable.

Charming hotel in great location

I love this place! Nicely maintained grounds, rooms clean and comfortable, with fireplace, coffee maker and a mini-fridge. Fantastic location. An easy walk to many shops and restaurants. Bruno's market next door has everything you need for a great stay or a picnic at the beach. Friendly staff. No, it's not 4-star luxury. It's old, has cramped parking and you can hear the neighbors walking upstairs, but that's typical of many Carmel Hotels I've stayed in. If you want a clean, charming, convenient place to stay, this is a great one to choose.

Very nice refurbished motel with a gas fireplace in the room. Comfortable King bed. Breakfast was very nice. If you can get in the upper floors above second floor you would have a nice view of Carmel Bay. We would definitely stay there when we go back to the area.
