N/G

Super comfortable beds, great amenities (jacuzzi, a fire pit, fireplaces both outside and inside); the staff is really welcoming; my parents did appreciate the breakfast, the wine and cheese, and the goodnight cookies

The only thing that I would change is the in-room extras - there are bottles of water that you need to pay for, and the bottles are right there but the card is hidden (was in the bathroom when we checked in, and it has a tiny font), so my parents kinda accidentally consumed what they wouldn’t want to pay for normally. Not a big deal but feels off, against the place’s vibe

The onsite breakfast was excellent with fresh coffee and mimosas daily. The location was just at the edge of the strip where businesses and restaurants began. This made for easy walking to all the shops yet kept the noise level down.

While there were several parking spaces, some were pretty tight and there didn't seem to be enough for all guests. Street parking was available, but did require some moving of your car depending on time of day.

The property is just gorgeous. It is maintained well, with beautiful flowers and a stunning courtyard with a fire pit, fireplace, and a hot tub.

The only negative this place has in any way is the parking. It is very limited, and while we’ve found parking both times we’ve stayed here, I wonder if everyone has been as lucky.

Ample and clean rooms. Beautiful property. Jacuzzi was great for relaxing after a long day and food at the bar on the property was great (and so were drinks and service). Loved the architecture and layout of the rooms and outside seating areas.

We had a price difference when checking out (which booking later fixed), and although personnel was very accessible and tried to help (they also reduced USD 50 from the USD 160 difference), the situation could have been handled much differently, with less stress, more time and without us feeling hostages of the situation as the hotel could charge us anyway with our card on file. Could have been avoided with the proper procedure at check in.

- They were a bit late replying in our check-in time request but it turned out it wouldn’t have been a problem anyway because there was a lady at the lobby until very late in the night

Beautiful, quirky hotel in the beautiful Carmel by the Sea. Lovely spacious room with balcony and little touches like the wine and cheese and breakfast. brophy’s tavern next door was great too. Staff lovely!

LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE. Gorgeous rooms, well appointed, incredibly spacious & comfortable. Brophy's bar is sensational. Amazing cookies and breakfast in the lobby. Fabulous location walking distance to the beach and main part of town.

The fact that we had to leave - would have loved to stay longer.

charming cottage type atmosphere. walking distance to restaurants, shops and beach.

Although clean, renovated and well decorated, the buildings are a little old. We were on the top floor and the floor by the sink was soft and squeaky. No air conditioning but the average person won’t need it. Just open a window. Floor fan was provided. I didn’t like that the bathroom window was big enough for someone to come thru. The lock was broken on mine. Room 209. My husband would have liked a microwave in the room and a bigger breakfast.

Great room with a fireplace

Walls were thin and we had creaky floors above us. We heard walking, talking and snoring
