Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was quaint and charming, situated in a perfect location for exploring Carmel. While the rooms were small but charming with some maintenance issues, the warm and friendly service made my stay enjoyable. The dining experience was hearty and plentiful, yet not included in the booking. Overall, a great value for the price paid.
The hotel's location is superb, central to town and easily walkable to the beach, although the rooms were smaller than expected and had outdated decor. The service exceeded expectations, with a very accommodating staff, though the dining options were average. The facilities were good, and the proximity to shops and restaurants enhances the overall experience.
The hotel offers charmingly decorated and very clean rooms, though some may find the shutters and stuffiness a drawback. The service is attentive and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is convenient for exploring Downtown Carmel and its attractions. The dining options vary, with home-made organic products on offer. Overall, a comfortable and visually appealing stay with some minor room considerations.
The hotel has a charming atmosphere but could benefit from fewer furnishings in the crowded rooms that need a fresh decorating touch. The service is a mix of friendly and unenthusiastic. The location offers convenience but also some drawbacks like street noise and nearby garbage pickup. The dining experience is satisfying but lacks variety.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a separate bedroom and a lovely sitting room with a fireplace, but the front desk charged the entire bill to my card instead of splitting it for my friend. The service was attentive and courteous, especially with help getting our luggage up the stairs for our 1-year anniversary, but the dining options were substandard during the week. The location was excellent, right in the middle of town and close to the beach, but there were no bars nearby. The facilities were good overall, but there were some issues with the electrical in the bathrooms shorting out with a hairdryer.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The location was ideal, right in the heart of Carmel by the Sea, making it easy to access all the shops and attractions. The rooms, although a bit dated, provided a cozy setup with a bedroom, living room, and nice bathroom. The friendly service made my experience even better, although they had a little trouble finding one reservation. The dining options were decent, but I wished for more variety at breakfast. The facilities were satisfactory, with a lovely lobby and sitting room.
This inn is a no-brainer to support with its tremendous breakfast, quant rooms filled with modern touches alongside old world charm, and a restaurant downstairs that attracts locals. The extractor fan and narrow passageways add character to the stay.
