8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
The front desk staff was polite but nothing particularly memorable. We hadn’t had time to research or book dinner reservations before arriving, so I asked the concierge for recommendations. They handed me a restaurant booklet, which was helpful for options, but they didn’t offer any personal suggestions or go the extra mile to assist.
The King room was extremely small—small doesn’t even begin to describe it. There was barely enough space to open one suitcase while still being able to move around the bed. It made getting ready in the morning or evening quite challenging for two people.
On the positive side, the included breakfast was excellent. We didn’t use the pool because it was too windy during our stay, but the hotel’s location is fantastic—within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The complimentary car service was also a nice touch.
Overall, the hotel is okay but nothing to write home about. If I return, I would request a larger room

Overall this is a good hotel in Carmel. It seemed a little pricey but they do have a free 1st class breakfast and free happy hour that is nice. The happy hour starts at 2 pm. Our room was a little small for the price but amenities were excellent.

Wonderful! Breakfast was awesome and we took advantage of the sangria happy hour as well as fresh baked cookies. Would definitely stay here again! Loved it!
