The stay was lovely. The staff was friendly. The only thing that I didn't like 100% were the sheets - but everything else was a 10.

Classic older hotel in great location with excellent service. Great buffet breakfast and wine in afternoon with cookies at night. Short walk to beach and downtown with free shuttle if needed. A number of stairs to room. Not a big deal but could be with some walking issues.

Fantastic place to stay when visiting Carmel. Courtesy transportation in the evenings is great and all staff very polite and attentive. Only minor downside was the size of the room we stayed. Would stay again and choose a larger room!

We had such a pleasant break from the daily grind in the city, what really stood out was the friendly, professional staff, short stroll and your toes are in the sand, and the mimosas kept coming on Sunday morning. Thanks for helping us reset ourselves!

Literally, one of the most beautiful properties ever not to mention the overwhelming professional staff. Everyone made us feel welcome and right at home couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay to celebrate my husband‘s birthday.
