The hotel is perfectly located, steps away from all the spots in Carmel by the Sea and surrounded by shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and come with a convenient kitchen and a lovely private balcony, making the stay very comfortable. However, the dining options are limited, and the facilities could use some updating.

My stay at this hotel was truly wonderful. The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from the stunning beach and within easy reach of everything. The rooms are cozy and welcoming, but the presence of a fireplace added a special touch. The service was top-notch, with the reception desk staff being attentive and friendly. The dining experience was delightful with sweet cakes and pastries at the bakery across the street.
