Very close to the ocean ave and Carmel Plaza. Hotel staff were helpful friendly and welcoming. We loved the fireplace, the room was big, and the fact there is parking was helpful.

Nice hotel overall

The beds were comfy, we had the “cheapest room” which for Carmel was still over 900 for 3 nights on a weekend. We tried out the hot tub which was nice (definitely need a shower before and after with all the chlorine) we were right next to the cleaning and kitchen so it was a bit loud at times, but not too bad. The breakfast basket was a nice touch - it was definitely fancier on Sunday (I’m sure there busiest day!) it was Costco things the other days). One day croissant, another day bagel, last day fancy chocolate crossiant. Included juice and some fruit. They even do dietary requests!

A nice place to stay in a beautiful town.

Our allocated room was very dark but the receptionist changed it for us. Our second room was on the first floor and overlooked the water and the mountains. It was large and bright with patio doors opening onto a small balcony. The service was very good and there was plenty of parking. Complimentary wine and cheese happy hour. Really nice breakfast basket.

A lovely stay in a beautiful town

The room was lovely with a balcony. We liked the picnic breakfast delivered each morning and the cheese and wine available each afternoon. The staff were very friendly. It’s a short walk to the town and the beach.

Overall a pleasant stay

The staff was very friendly, the free breakfast in a basket was a nice touch with some fresh options. The room was clean and we even had an ocean view. The air was so nice and fresh! The location is great - just a couple of blocks from downtown, but a nice and quite street. The free parking was such a perk as there is limited parking in the area.

Good location - some rooms have noise issues

Close to the centre of Carmel and walkable to the main restaurant area, but it is up a hill and it might be a trial for some people. The walk from the beach is tough. Carmel looks flat on a map, but it’s quite hilly. Hotel has parking and after we spent on a room upgrade we were happy with our room. Rooms have microwave. They bring you a breakfast basket in the morning with juice, fruit and pastries which they varied from day to day, which was nice.

Comfortable room, great location, hoping the team can rediscover some joy at work!

Great location - quiet - on edge of downtown. Easy to walk in to shops, restaurants and beach, albeit some travellers might find it quite steep. Spacious room and bathroom area with comfortable outdoor terrace. Great to have fridge, microwave etc. Nice fire pit / spa dip pool seating area.

Great breakfast and complimentary wine and cheese 'happy hour'

We loved the fresh breakfast basket delivered to our door each morning. It included lots of choices, including pastry, cereal, fresh fruit and fruit juice. We also loved the complimentary 'happy hour' of local wine and cheese each evening in the main reception. Parking was very easy, convenient and secure. The room was an excellent size, with a view of the ocean from the balcony.
