Great Location

It was a great location. In walking distance to all of the shops in Carmel. Nice room and very "homey". The breakfast was not very good though.

Location very convenient to downtown Carmel. Rooms are fairly ordinary but do have a fireplace. Rooms on first floor are very convenient for people that have difficulty walking or doing steps. Breakfast room was very pleasant and nice free breakfast provided.

Didn’t like lack of air conditioning, requiring keeping windows open which made room noisy and less private. Liked convenience, location, and friendliness of other guests.

This property was right at the top of town, so you don't have to deal with the traffic. Parking is available and once you leave your car, everything is walkable from the hotel. It's clean, the staff is helpful and accomodating and there's a pool on the grounds, after you enjoy the scenery, shopping or wine-tasting, all just steps from your room!
