Wonderful stay. Comfortable, quiet, clean. My room was spacious and nicely decorated, the bed was comfortable. Slippers and robes were provided, a cozy touch. The staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and kind, and they helped me plan outings/things to do in the area, too. The in-room breakfast is good quality and delicious. Parking is off the street, so I liked that amenity. Convenient location for sightseeing. I’ll be back.

The rooms were a perfect size and immaculate. The bed was very comfortable and the fireplace was a charming addition. Parking was great. The hotel was in fabulous condition and very well cared for. The breakfasts were incredible and the snacks each day were a pleasant surprise. Overall this is one of my favorite hotels that I have ever stayed in. Every hotel should be managed in this way. I truly felt like an appreciated guest!

Nothing but positive words to describe our stay, customer service was outstanding. Allen at the front desk made us feel so welcome. The freshly baked goods were such a treat. We appreciated the bonus amenities, not to mention the room was clean and comfortable. We definitely plan to return to this hotel, we often travel to Carmel but this has been our best stay yet!
