Very charming place with beautiful flowers and green foliage. Walking distances to the ocean and lots of shop, breakfast was ok and parking is challenging to find spaces off streets. Other than that it was a nice stay for us.

As charming as it gets in Carmel. Location is perfect for all you would want to do. Walk to the beach, shopping, restaurants. Room was nice, bed comfortable. No AC as most places, they provide a fan which is sufficient once the day cools off. Nice place!

Charming little inn located in walking distance to the beach, shops and eateries. We loved our stay here and appreciated the continental breakfast. The room we chose with a king bed did not have AC but we didn’t find that to be an issue. The weather was perfect for keeping the window open and the front desk provided a fan upon request. Staff were friendly and kind.

Attentive front desk. Room was clean but small. Property was well landscaped, quaint and the proximity to the beach, boutiques, stores and restaurants was great. It was quiet but close enough to everything. I also loved the history of the hotel.

Lovely spot in the heart of Carmel. Walked to the beach ( it’s downhill going and uphill coming back!), sat by the sweet heated pool, and enjoyed the comfortable room with a king bed and large bathroom. Only a couple downsides: shower pressure was pretty low, and our room was on the street side (Ocean Ave) and there were cars late and early. Iin the future, ’d ask for a room overlooking the pool or away from the street. Then it’d be darn near perfect.

Nice and clean. Close to Carmel’s main beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only issue was that there were no onsite parking. Street parkings were available nearly but hard to find in the long weekend. But overall stay was enjoyable
