Wonderful Carmel boutique Hotel

Wonderful tonight weekend stay celebrating a birthday. The hotel is beautiful with a warm and cozy entrance lobby and bar area. Service was impeccable from getting our luggage to offering us a welcome drink to the morning breakfast which was included. We walked approximately 20 to 25 minutes to/from downtown Carmel both nights for dinner.
