The hotel is nice and unique. The location of it is what drew us to this hotel. It’s 2 blocks from Ocean Ave and down town Carmel. The beds were nice and the fire pit is cool. The only complaint I had is the you could hear the doors in everyone’s rooms opening and closing so it made it hard to sleep. Other than that a great stay

It was a great trip to celebrate our anniversary. Hotel is well situated to restaurants, shops, etc. The only thing we would do different the next time, we would not stay on a weekend because the rates are so expensive. If it wasn't the fact the anniversary was on a Saturday, we would have gone on a different day.

Our first time at this hotel gave us a great impression. Very clean elegant rooms with basic amenities. It’s in a good location easy walking distance to the Main Street with shops and restaurants and is only 15 minute walk to the Carmel beach. We went during the weekdays because weekends during summer it’s a zoo.

Awesome location! So close to town center! The site was clean and well maintained. The room was very spacious and clean. Upon check in, we received cookies and a list of area partners that provided discounts and perks for eating or shopping with them. Love it! There was beautiful shrubbery everywhere too. Parking was very easy and plentiful. The bed was soft and comfy. There was a fireplace and mini frig area too. Tv was large and had many viewing options. Our room had a large jetted tub area that felt like a spa experience. Will definitely be back!!!!

This hotel surpassed all expectations. Clean, welcoming, and cozy. The bedding was exceptional and there were robes waiting in the room for us. Walking distance to everything! Great staff and a patio with fireplace outside. Zero issues or complaints.

Great location to walk to the Ocean Avenue and to the restaurants. I will come back again in the future. Love the corner unit (#5) space. But the price of the room is at the high $300. Thanks to the no parking fee charge.
