Staying here was the best decision we’ve made for a vacation. The price was amazing and the location was perfect. It was very walkable from downtown Carmel and the beach. It was mostly quiet (except early morning traffic which was easily taken care of with the windows closed). The bed was so comfortable and everything was well stocked/clean. Can’t wait to stay again!

The room was spacious, featuring a comfortable king-size bed. The fireplace was a plus and easy to use. The Wi-Fi was a little sketchy at times, but I could still connect to my cell phone. Coffee in the common area would have been a plus. Overall, very nice with an excellent location and parking.
