Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with well-maintained and spacious rooms. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore Carmel on foot. While the breakfast was sufficient, it could benefit from some variety. I did experience some noise from families staying above us, which was a bit disruptive. Overall, it was a good value for the price.
