Probably the most comfortable beds during our whole trip. The staff were lovely, the room was spacious and well set up. We were surprisingly warm and snug, despite the cool weather. A gorgeous location, and an easy stroll to fabulous dining. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Carmel Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### jose Feb 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean comfortable.
