10/10 Excellent
"Loved this place! I was trying to decide how close to Ocean Avenue I wanted to be and this was the perfect location! I could walk to everything but wasn't right in the middle of all the bustle. The hotel was very clean and so cute! The whole place was surrounded by huge hydrangea plants and I could see the ocean from room. My only complaint was that our bathroom did not have any hooks to hang our towels, but we just draped them over the shower door so it was fine. Overall, this place added to the magic of Carmel-by-the-Sea!"

"The room and property was clean. We stayed here about 10 years ago, it has definitely aged and has wear and tear since then. Carpet was loose and bunched up in my room. Also fire alarm was beeping constantly. Breakfast was just okay, I would have preferred to eat in a dining area instead of the bedroom"
