Property was very charming like a story book. I was expecting to see the white rabbit or Alice pop out at any moment. Loved the beautiful flowers and greenery. Staff was great Parking was tight but we managed. Perfect location walking distance to everything. Especially enjoyed being able to walk over to the Cypress Inn and hear Debbie sing.

Very cute boutique hotel which definitely exceeded my expectations! The location was the best - we walked to the beach, the restaurants and coffee shops. The rooms were clean with all expected amnesties. The staff were polite and professional. We booked 2 rooms and they upgraded 1 of our rooms to a family suite - Cypress. It had a cute loft area too with a queen bed. The stairs were a little steep but not too bad. Overall great experience - very cute garden area too. Definitely coming back!!

It was conveniently located to Main Street shops and restaurants…just a 6-9 min walk. We were traveling with a relative who uses a walker. We had reached out to the property ahead of time even conveying they were in a wheelchair vs walker and asking for a room that would provide appropriate accommodation. We found that the property proved challenging for anyone handicapped. Lots of inclines, stairs here and there and uneven ground. It would have been helpful if the property had shared that reality in advance as we would have sought other accommodations. Besides that, the property was dated and we felt pricing was too high relative to the quality of the accommodations. It was clean, but dated.

This property is perfectly positioned near every hotspot in Carmel. You’re just a few blocks from the beach and steps away from downtown shopping. It’s a wonderful place to relax outside with a glass of wine while watching your dog play. The rooms are spotless, and the staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again!
