"Carmel is a beautiful town and the hotel is in the town centre, so the location is perfect. Room was a little dated, but reasonably clean. On the night we arrived to check in, staff was super friendly and helpful. He gave us detailed instructions regarding our room and parking, also local restaurants recommendations. His service was a 5 star! On the morning of departure, we vacated the room and checked out at 9am. We went for a stroll in the town, and returned after an hour. When we returned at 10am I asked the staff (not the friendly staff helped us check in) if I can use a restroom. Knowing we just checked out, the staff bluntly replied there isn’t public toilet in the hotel, so we’d better use the one in the local park. When we asked if we could go back to our room to use the toilet as it’s still early. His said the cleaners were already in. We then walked to our car which was next to our room, only to find the cleaners hadn’t been at all. Zero hospitality, disappointed."

"Perfect location & reception staff were lovely, however the room could’ve been so much cleaner, hairs were found in the toilet, on the bathroom floor, on the floor of the bedroom & on the bedside tables. The rooms were super noisy- we could hear everything from the room above. The stay was fine for one night but any longer the cleanliness would have to be improved on. A shame as it could be an amazing place. "

"A very nice little hotel or inn, located in the heart of Carmel, within walking distance of the town and the beach. The hotel facilities are relatively old, especially the restrooms, but it does not affect your holiday experience. There are parking spaces in the courtyard, and the front desk will issue you a parking permit for each room, but there is no guarantee that there will be a parking space, and you should be able to park on the street. There are many restaurants nearby, and one of them is a great breakfast restaurant with a comfortable taste and atmosphere. An American breakfast and a cup of coffee are second to none."

"Very exquisite, clean and quiet hotel with a good environment. Maybe it's not the weekend, so there are few people. The room is big, but the air conditioner is noisy. It is far from the town of Carmel and there is no car nearby. The shops opposite the hotel closed before 8 o'clock, and the supermarket was open until 10 o'clock. I finally found a barbecue restaurant that was open until 9 o'clock and had dinner there."

In addition, Trip.com showed that it paid 2 knives to the store, and actually paid 21 knives to the store. It said that it was facilities fees and taxes. This is still not known whether it is a hotel problem or a Trip.com problem."

Private bathrooms with shower/tub combinations feature complimentary toiletries and hair dryers.

"Friendly staff, solid location, decent WiFi and generally clean and has the basics down. Better for sightseeing than for those staying in, I think. Quick things to note: they don't allow late checkouts, just fyi, but otherwise you just drop your keys in a box to check out. The vending machines are also located in an open area, which is nice for when I visited but could become an issue if it's raining... The balconies are really nice, and the location is insanely convenient. It's about 10ish minutes to walk to the aquarium, and it's a block (or half, if you go out the back!) to the waterfront. There's solid food and sightseeing options here too. They do have a decent parking lot, but there's a ton you can see in Monterey by walking, and this hotel is perfect for a lot of those. What's missing here: a common dining area and breakfast, for one. Rooms aren't cramped but most furnishing is basic. Don't expect anything fancy, essentially. All that said, it's a solid choice if you're actually going out and sightseeing vs spending tons of time here. And if you do, they have some pretty nice patios and some rooms have balconies overlooking a trail."

"It was already evening when we arrived in Monterey. After checking in, we hurried to dine at a Thai restaurant not far away. The town was very quiet. Although we didn’t pay much attention to the environment around the hotel, when we went to the hotel for coffee early in the morning, we saw how beautiful the sea and sky next to the hotel were. The guest rooms were also very clean. I felt that the trip was worthwhile. It was a pity that we should have stayed one more night. I guess I’ll make up for it next time. 😊"

"The location of the hotel is not bad, but when the navigation is on the back door, it makes a few more laps. Parking is free. The room is not too big, but very clean and tidy. Both refrigerator and microwave oven are available. Breakfast was stopped due to the epidemic. Staying here after walking 17 miles and Carmel on California Highway 1 is much cheaper than Carmel! recommend!"

The location was good, a short walk to Asilomar Beach which is a wonderful coastal trail with deer, bunnies & lots of birds in the early morning (before 7am). Was a bit disappointed that no bottled water was available in the room, and the lobby was locked before 8am and after 9pm when we wanted to get a drink. The coffee maker has water tasting of coffee, which is not ideal for non-coffee drinkers like myself. Toothbrushes not provided. My emails prior to the stay went unanswered. It was suggested that we pay $20 for laundry, and we had to ask multiple times where they either told us it was too early / too late and then to look for housekeeping to ask on our own. Night time is quiet but day time is noisy once housekeeping commences, and in the afternoon we had several calls and knocks on our door from housekeeping when we were trying to rest. They did not wait for us to answer but kept calling. I'm likely to choose a different place for future stays. There are several in this same location that are not as costly. I only chose this because the reviews seemed great.

The hotel is very close to the aquarium. The room was large and had a fireplace, which made it very warm. There was a long sofa bed by the window, but I kept hitting my head on the corner of the wall! I hit it so hard I forgot to take pictures. The bathroom faucet was leaking, and I called twice but no one answered. When checking in, the front desk saw Asian faces and put them in a different building. I had read other guest comments before and it turns out they were true. The other building had a long corridor connecting it, and the room faced the street, which was extremely noisy. There was a constant mix of music and loud motorcycle sounds. This night was too long, I had to wait until dawn. Breakfast was very good, generous portions and delicious. The restaurant and parking attendants were all very nice.

recommend! A very romantic hotel in Carmel. It is a 12-minute walk from the small street in the city center and a three-minute walk from the beach. You can watch the orange beach sunset in the room. The building and decoration of the hotel have a Spanish style. There is a garden with good vegetation. Many places are suitable for internet celebrities to take photos. Breakfast is very careful. In the evening, there are sangria wine and chocolate cookies. The rooms are relatively small, but the hotel service is very warm

The host was very helpful! The internet was non-existent, but the city of Marina is in a bad reception zone. Don’t get excited about breakfast. It was definitely a to go thing. The room was fine, but when I was doing a last minute check of the room I looked under bed and it was obvious that it was not dusted or mopped. Other then the above it was a good place to stay for a quick trip to visit Family.

The hotel view was superb. Staying on a high floor facing away from the main road, the morning view was absolutely stunning! There's also a heated swimming pool and a soaking tub, but unfortunately we didn't bring our swimsuits, so we couldn't experience them. The hotel elevators were a bit old; we were worried about getting stuck inside. The breakfast was just average, a typical American breakfast. However, the hotel had an automatic pancake machine, which was interesting. The overall environment was nice, but the lack of a laundry room deducted one point from the facilities.

The biggest advantage is that the room is big and the bed is very comfortable, but the room facilities are like an old house in the 80s. Breakfast is only a simple breakfast such as coffee and yoghurt. Even the eggs are not likely to be expensive. Carmel is worth more than two hundred dollars.

The room was quite spacious and came equipped with a coffee maker and a microwave. I was assigned a first-floor room, and an elevator is also available for convenience. Overall, it's a nice hotel. The only minor issue was when I went to make coffee, I found a used coffee pod from the previous guest still left in the machine.
