Very close to the ocean. Most rooms have a good ocean view! The outdoor area is very nice with some fire pits to spend the evening by. This spot is a block away from cannery row which is where we spent most of our time.

Was woken up at 8:00am by a full scale construction project right outside of our window. Oh, and we were woken up twice before that due to the person at the front desk calling the room telling us not to worry about all of the noise. Who does that to their guests? Zero common sense. And to be told “we’ll give you a discount on your next stay.” Next stay? ZERO COMMON SENSE.

Always great

Our stay was great. The location is ideal. The weather was perfect. One day we walked along the streets of Carmel. The next day we went whale watching, and saw a bunch of whales. It’s Dungeness crab season and everywhere we ate was delicious. Our favorite brunch spot, The Wave Cafe, which is across the street, never disappoints. Can’t wait to come back again.
