I've stayed at this property four times and enjoy the close location to town, it's quiet/low-keyed atmosphere and the fact that they have recently remodeled the property. I didn't realize and maybe this has changed over the years, how noisy Ocean Avenue is until the wee hours of the morning.

The only complaint I would have about this hotel is you have to ring the bell to get anybody to help you and sometimes there was a little wait, but other than that the hotel was great and everybody was very friendly

The location and room space and decor were great. The food offered was of low quality. The scrambled eggs were hard, the meat was a cheap breakfast patty and the bagles were small, dense and hard.

I was surprised at how easy it was to park at or near the hotel despite the limited hotel parking. I’ve been to Carmel many times and parking is usually a nightmare. Located on Ocean Ave at the start of the main drag through downtown Carmel, restaurants & shops are walkable which was quite convenient and eliminated the need to drive most places.
