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!

Very nice place. Easy access to Ocean Ave and everywhere else. The host is very friendly as well. I got the executive suites with adjacent rooms and my boys loved the main room and the queen size bed. Will definitely choose this place again next time in Carmel. Jon

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.
