My trip

Hello, I wanted to let you know that my stay was uncomfortable because while I was sleeping, I felt small bites on my body. This made it difficult to rest. Please have the room inspected to make sure it is clean and safe for future guests.”

Great location, very tastefully decorated property

We checked in on Sunday afternoon which was the last day of the very big annual "Car Week" events on the peninsula. This meant alot of very cool - and some very "throaty", powerful cars on the roads, including Junipero St right in front of the hotel. But by Monday & Tues the noise of cars passing by out front reving their engines had for the most part passed. Not a big deal for us, we only overlapped this cacophopny by a day during out stay. The location is great - especially the WONDERFUL deli market "Bruno's" right next door. Great wine selection at market (vs restaurant) prices, so we shared a bottle of our favorite wine in our room or by the pool every night, before walking to dinner, so we only had to buy one glass each at restaurant prices ($13 - $20 per glass). EVERYTHING in Carmer is within easy walking distance, even the beach. And I used the pool all 3 days we were there, to cool off in the afternoon and read my book. The rooms have great mattresses, first class fixtures (new windows, shutters, bath fixtures), all very classy & cozy. Even a gas fireplace! (No air conditioning, but we left the windows open at all times, even when we were out each day, and locked valuables in our car. You never need to move your car while in Carmel, staying this close to everything. We actually needed to use the fireplace each morning, in August, because it gets so cool ovenight. Don't miss the free breakfast each morning...it will save you at least $30 for two, vs eating out!!

Very nice and spacious hotel room! We had a fireplace in our room, though we didn’t need it. There’s no air conditioner, so we did have to open the bathroom window to cool it off at the end of the day. It’s an older hotel but it was, hands down, the cleanest hotel I’ve ever seen in my life! Very well kept property and the staff were amazing!

Great place to stay. We got a room at the pool (at the front), and didn’t love the morning noise. Other rooms have been much better in this regard. Everything else about the property was really nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Building is older but it is very nicely kept. Breakfast was plentiful and on par with many chain hotel breakfasts. The rooms do not have AC or fans. At night it would have been lovely to have the balcony door open for fresh air but it lacked a screen and bugs were coming in. The second part of the property is up a very steep hill. This makes the walkability a lot more difficult for someone with knee or hip problems. The lower rooms do not have that issue.
