The location is amazing — it’s close to the shopping mall, restaurants, and the downtown area, making it super convenient to get around without driving far. The staff maintained the property very well, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and a great location. ##### Aliyar Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean and friendly staff. ##### Joseph Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julian Oct 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property was above and beyond anything i expected.

We love to stay in the cottages as they privide some privacy and we appreciate that they are pet friendly. The grounds are also nicely lanscaped with walking paths. We look forward to staying here when we visit Carmel. ##### Lanae Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mahnaz Oct 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Very nice! ##### Mahnaz Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam Nov 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were so nice and the cottage was very clean and well supplied. It was terrific to have a stand alone place, with no upstairs or downstairs neighbors and it was so quiet. Seems like it'd recently been remodeled because everything appeared to be new. Only problem was no hot water, but as soon as we brought it to the attention of the office, it was promptly fixed. We'd happily stay here again and highly recommend to other travelers. ##### Pam Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Albert Dec 4, 2025 Liked: Amenities Lovely property! We thought we might stay only one night so we chose to stay in a room at the main hotel. Nice clean room on the river. Our Issue was at night we could hear the walking around very loudly from room above. As we really wanted to stay one more night, we asked if they could accommodate us in a one room cottage at a discount. Amy did it for us! LOVED IT SO MUCH!! Clean and adorable. The property is lovely as well. we can't wait to return. Highly recommend staying in a cottage over the main hotel. We also had beautiful weather 😁 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4cd4603b-9040-419e-a3a1-df1d0cf6fb24-1764875543536.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8ebd5ab8-b98b-4123-81b5-e5d7ff3dda9f-1764875544074.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4fa9deb3-1bfe-4a9c-8903-1dd1b77d06cf-1764875542982.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/888fe8b0-de87-4dcf-afd5-e32d5e44cf69-1764875541368.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Albert Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Happy Little Cottage Stay We loved our stay!

Though we stayed for one night, the rooms were absolutely adorable, the vintage cottage vibe was to die for! Everything from the uniquely painted houses, to the flowers in the front yard, this place was super pretty! The beds were soft and comfy, and big enough to share. The amenities were good, water was hot and shower supplies were provided, but overall our stay at these cottages was amazing. Definitely would return! ##### Romina Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristina Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place.
