The room was comfortable, near and a pleasant space to be. Michel’le was accommodating, well informed on places to go and eat. Her customer service was excellent.

Location is Good But

Pros: Comfortable bed. Good location.
Cons: Need counter space in bathroom. Need storage space for clothes. Need better pillows.
This hotel is basic but very clean. I've stayed at other hotels owned by this group and this is my least favorite because it lacked what I consider a necessity for a hotel room, i.e, counter space in bathroom and drawer space for clothes. If you normally keep your clothes in the suitcase than this place would be fine for you but not for me. Their other properties (Svendgaards and Carriage House) have much better rooms. I won't stay here again.

Nice hotel, easy walk to All downtown shopping

Took a weekend trip to Carmel and read about this hotel on travelocity and yelp. Positives: Minutes walk to all downrown shops, restaurants. Very quiet at night. Comfortable room. Very clean Kuerig coffee maker with good quality coffee. Nice patio outside with firepit. Friendly staff. Negative: Pedestal sink in bathroom with no counter space. No writing desk. We could not get just standard tv channels.. not sure what was wrong. Didn't ask the front desk, because we were there just overnight. We'd cosider again.

Classic Carmel Charm

Pros: Everything. Kitschy, comfortable, charming.
Cons: You had to SLAM the door to close it. And it wasn't just my room. You could hear slamming doors all morning.
Location: Food, shopping, wine tasting, beach combing, site seeing and golf. Some of the best California has to offer.
I stayed in room #20 this last visit, and I highly recommend it. Bigger than my first apartment (not saying much) the room had a small, separate kitchen, bath with jacuzzi tub and a "great" room with bed, sitting area and tiny, corner brick fireplace. The bedding, upholstery, cabinetry, etc. were a little worn and very out of date. But this is Carmel. Everything is well-loved, gently used, but carefully cared for in this beautiful town, from the hotel rooms to the sidewalks. In the morning, a cooler filled with breakfast items is placed outside your door - milk, cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt, juice, croissant and newspaper. I wish I'd stayed a week!

The staff was really nice and so helpful . . . . the hotel is very close to all the shops and lots of restaurants. You can walk to the beach!

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, firepit lit in evenings, walk to beach
The staff was great - very helpful in making our 5 day stay enjoyable! The bed was a bit soft for us and there was no counter space in the bathroom at all. They only gave us six hangers and almost no drawer space - so for an extended stay it was a bit difficult - we had to leave most of our clothes in the suitcases. Otherwise, the location is great - Friar Tucks for breakfast is right around the corner and the shops are all close by. No need to drive anywhere! Just park and enjoy Carmel. The location is super quiet at night and they have a lovely firepit for evening relaxation.
