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.

Don’t think it’s worth the discount.

A very bare bones motel. You have to schedule any room service, fresh towels or even your trash emptied. The bed linens are not good, rough fabric. The pillows are cheap and uncomfortable. The mattress was comfortable, but I won’t stay there again.
