Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers cozy and nicely furnished rooms, with partial coastal views. The service was accommodating, with early starting times, though not overly friendly. The location is excellent, within walking distance to Ocean Ave and other attractions in Carmel. The dining options were good, but could use more variety. The facilities are well-equipped and maintained.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with an 'Ocean view. ' The service was fantastic, albeit a small inconvenience with parking for the hilltop view. The location in Carmel By-The-Sea was perfect for my trip, and the dining experience, though just okay, offered suitable options. Overall, a great place to stay with a couple of minor drawbacks.
The hotel is conveniently located near Carmel city center with easy access to restaurants and shops. The rooms, although spacious and well-equipped, had a persistent musty smell and some traffic noise due to the proximity to a main road. The service was a mix of welcoming and helpful gestures, along with some instances of unprofessional conduct. The dining experience offered basic buffet options and was not worth the price paid. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's location and friendly staff are definite highlights.
I was thrilled with my stay at the hotel. The rooms had a great view of the ocean, a balcony, a fireplace, and appeared to have been newly renovated, providing a cozy atmosphere. While some parts were a little dated, the bedrooms besides were just perfect.
The hotel is located perfectly for exploring Carmel with spacious and well-equipped rooms, offering super comfortable beds. The service was very friendly and helpful. The hotel's great location allows easy access to shopping, restaurants, wine tasting rooms, and the beach. The dining experience was decent but could improve. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay for the price.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and offered a stunning view, but they were on the smaller side. However, they were clean, spacious, and free from any musty odors often found in older places. The bed was huge and very comfortable, with plenty of wardrobe space, flat-screen TVs in both rooms, and a spacious bathroom. The service was top-notch with professional staff cleaning surfaces after every guest check-in. The dining experience was extensive and delicious, offering a variety of options including made-to-order Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, sausages, pastries, cereals, fruit, and more. The location was absolutely perfect, within walking distance to shops and restaurants in Carmel, with a beautiful balcony room overlooking a nice view. The facilities were decent and comfortable, making our anniversary trip in Carmel, CA excellent.
My stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing! The rooms were lovely with pretty furniture; we stayed for a while as part of our road trip, and the grounds were quiet at night. The fireplace was a wonderful touch to set the mood for ultimate relaxation. They even offered us a free upgrade to a room with a balcony and sea views. The only small inconvenience was parking for the hilltop view; I had to park on the street, but other than that, it was an amazing place to stay. I'm definitely coming back.
