The room was clean and even the bathroom. The bed especially the pillows were amazing...the only concern I had was that the tub is too high for vertically challenged people like me.

The room was spacious, decorated in a relaxing zen-like theme, and comfortable, with a distant view of the ocean from our 2nd floor porch. We enjoyed the gas log fireplace. The best thing was the delightful breakfast (4 choices each day) that was brought to our room in a basket each morning. The staff people were all very kind and helpful, and gave us chocolate chip cookies when we arrived. The bathroom had nice amenities, including the most wonderful smelling, locally made lavender soap. The hotel is only a few blocks from Ocean Avenue, which is the main thorofare in Carmel. We will stay here again!

The grounds are beautifully decorated and inspire serenity. For the price though, the carpet was stained, the side table lamp had a terrible odor, the tiles in bathroom were coming off and the tub sealant was cracked. We did enjoy the location of our room, the fireplace, the breakfast and the service was excellent.
