Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Great location to all shops and restaurants. Arrived a bit earlier to see if there was early check-in but had a sign saying they’d be back in 20 mins. Called and did get ahold of someone and said we can check in at 2 and they’d call so that worked out as we walked around downtown (they said we could leave our car there). Coffee maker not working was a bummer but only a small inconvenience and we did have a bit of trouble with the room key (had to slide it a few times for it work. Room looked and felt clean and they provided a nice little breakfast baskets in the morning. All in all, a good stay and would consider them again when staying in Carmel.

Parked the car and enjoyed easy walks around town. Their breakfast basket is brilliant and thoughtful filled with fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal and other goodies perfect to start the day with a light breakfast. Cozy and well decorated room had all the necessities we needed.

I told person at the desk everything was great except for the shower which had the worst water pressure/volume I’ve ever experienced. Just terrible! It barely was able to get the soap off your body. Other than that it was great! The breakfast was awesome and very generous. We have stayed there before and if the next time the water is the same I probably will choose elsewhere.

Liked: Cleanliness
The staff is friendly and the room was clean. It is comfortable. But if you are looking for charm to match Carmel by the Sea, this is not the place. Also, when I arrived they had no record of my reservation. They said Hotels.com had not informed them. I had to show them a paper print out of the reservation.
