Excellent value! Stayed mid-week in February and rate was super reasonable. Rooms are recently updated and clean. Spent extra for the suite and it was well worth it. Fridge, microwave and coffeemaker were really handy. Front desk was friendly. Located just off the main street, we walked everywhere. Definitely stay there again!
For a mid priced hotel this one is great Has all we needed and the front desk person Sandy was very helpful We have stayed here in the past and will again
Very nice hotel, resonably priced and within walking distance of multiple amenities including thr beach. Although, the beach hike is downhill about .6 miles (one way). Free parking but a little tight if you have a large vehicle.
Great price and location. You can walk anywhere in Carmel from this hotel. Breakfast is even included! It’s very basic no glitz and glam but if you just want somewhere inexpensive and very clean to lay your head down for 8 to 10 hours this is a great place to stay. We even had a small balcony with chairs and could hear the ocean from our room. If you want tons of amenities, fancy furniture, lots of staff and luxury etc. then you’ll need to pay 2-3x’s the price and go somewhere else
This place was in the perfect location. Walking distance to everything in downtown even the beach. The room was cute and very clean. The complex was small and quaint! I loved that it was a no smoking complex and breakfast was brought to our door. We will stay here again. The service was great .
Great little hotel. Very clean and quiet. Parking lot is very small so I don’t recommend driving a truck.
We were very impressed with the clealiness and size of our room. The location was perfect and the basket for breakfast in the morning was delicious. We will stay there again very inexpensive and tidy, perfect.
Wonderful stay! Nice clean rooms and friendly service. Sandi was a great help.
This modest hotel is a 2-minute walk from the Carmel Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center, and 1 mile from Carmel Beach City Park and the Carmel Mission Basilica Museum.
