The property is very convenient to walk to everything in Carmel by the Sea - even the beach. We loved the convenience of not having to have a car while in town on a holiday weekend. The accommodations were also good as I love a hotel room that doesn’t have a carpet and the flooring in these rooms you could tell was updated along with the bathroom.

We did hear a consistent beep like every 15 to 20 seconds in our room. We reported it to the staff on duty but they never followed up to check in on what it was. We finally got used to it, but maybe someone should check and see what that was as it may annoy other guests.

Perfect location in Carmel-by-the-sea: right next to all the shops, restaurants and tasting rooms. Room was comfortable and well appointed; average size, good TV, comfy bed. We were lucky and had patio chairs right outside our room (60).

Overall would recommend but a few minor negatives: Rooms were single-glazed with gap under the door, so loud when people walked by to get to other rooms (though in a quiet area so the outside/street noise was very low). Main noise issue was the building had very loud plumbing - so very loud when neighbours used their bathrooms or when the tank was filling (not sure which). Not sure it had air-con which would be an issue mid-summer. Very dodgy Wifi. Breakfast was a bit basic, and in a cramped room; we didn't bother with it as there is an amazing bakery in the village. Parking was limited; we managed to find a space fairly easily every day, but can imagine the road parking would be tricky in peak season.

Very close to downtown for walking the shops and seeing the local businesses and restaurants. Hot and cold breakfast options were good to get you going for the day. The outside of the hotel was charming and the half doors for the rooms were an unusual experience.

We had a family with children above us who seemed to be running constantly from the moment we got there straight through to the morning. The noise was very loud and unfortunately my husband has misophonia and this made it nearly impossible for him to rest after our long drive. The parking was tight although we eventually managed to find a spot. The room was quite small for four adults and luggage. The room only had a fan for cooling down. The fridge was very small and oddly shaped inside for leftover boxes and drinks.

Overall, great stay. We were upgraded to a ‘suite’ on arrival, which from what I could tell was just a larger room, still a nice extra. Breakfast is available however we didn’t try, so can’t comment there, plus there are quaint local places nearby along with a local deli/conscience store across the road. Hotel was clean, spacious with parking.

Parking was limited, but we didn’t struggle. Traffic noise if you are a light sleeper, and the aircon would go along way to improve things.

Friendly staff and the front desk was excellent and super helpful with directions about the area, especially to my wife because she had to find me after running the Big Sur Marathon, which was also coviniently located less than block from the bus boarding area to the race. The free breakfast was also excellent. I will come to this hotel from now on. Extra: Centrally located within walking distance to all shops and restaurants in Carmel

I like everything

Good proximity to town, shops and the beach. Room was cleaned daily with fresh towels. Bed was comfortable. Nice chairs outside to relax. Parking was available but limited.

No air conditioning or fans in the room. Windows did allow for cross ventilation but these were not opened when I arrived. There were some late night and early morning street noises from nearby hotels and cars/ trucks.

Location is fantastic, right in central Carmel near Ocean Ave with all the shops and restaurants. There is a grocery/liquor store next door which was very convenient. It was definitely a bit of a rundown hotel compared to the other places in Carmel and yet was rather pricey (granted we were there for a holiday weekend), but we enjoyed our time there as we didn't spend much time in the room. The water pressure and temperature in the shower was fantastic. Everything else was meh.

The "breakfast" was a bit of a joke. Staff were helpful, and the hotel was quiet though.

Great location - able to walk to all things downtown and to the beach. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Looks like they were recently re-modeled on the inside.

No air conditioning. No black out curtains.

Loved the location and the updates that have been done to the hotel.

The only thing is that breakfast is available at 8 which was after we normally left for the day. Not a big deal for us as we found a nice little bakery downtown, but could be an inconvenience if someone prefers to eat at the hotel.

The setting is charming and the location perfect. The walls are very thin so it was fairly noisy and a little hard to sleep. We appreciated the free breakfast which was very good. We loved not having to drive to town as parking was so hard

We went to go to the front desk on our way back from dinner and the man behind the door was screaming and swearing and throwing things. A little scary. We bypassed the front desk and went to our room and locked the door.
