The staff and property were great. The walk ability into town was perfect. However I do feel like no assigned parking in a small town such as Carmel should be mentioned before a stay. We did go on a busy holiday weekend but the parking, especially on our arrival was very difficult. I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to find any at first, then finally we did.

The location of the hotel was perfect for our girls weekend away. It was within walking distance of pretty much everything. I would absolutely stay here again! The one challenge was the parking. They do not have enough spots in the lot, so some guests have to find parking in the neighborhood. Depending on the time that you arrive finding street parking can be a bit of a challenge.

It’s very charming place from the outside, but it really needs to upgrade the basics inside the rooms, simple things like showers, sinks, and furnitures.

The fireplace is great to keep our room cozy and warm. We were not able to park in the hotel parking lot but were lucky to park on road side close to the hotel. The location is perfect to walk around Carmel. Enjoy the stay.

Loved the location, the privacy, the quiet courtyard. Room was perfect for 2 with one dog. Bed and pillows were comfy. Easy walking distance to pet friendly breakfast, lunch, and dinner places, plus all of downtown. The beach (off leash) was a bit further, easy to get to, but a bit of a walk back up.
