Great place to stay!

This is a great value for the area. The staff was very nice and helpful, and we loved the happy hour. I didn't necessarily realize that our room would be across the street, but it wasn't too far, and everything else was very comfy!

What we liked: Happy hour was great. The water dispenser in the patio was great. Room was super clean. The location of the inn was fantastic- close to downtown and the beach. What could be improved: Room had a musty smell. All night, there was a noise from upstairs( foot steps). Pillows were too thin. Breakfast was underwhelming. At $500 per night, a room with those conditions and facing parking lot felt overpriced- even in Carmel.

We loved staying here and absolutely recommend this hotel to anybody looking to spend time in the Carmel/Monterey area. This hotel is a bit up the street from the main shopping area, which is nice if you want somewhere quiet. We liked that breakfast was included as a picnic basket delivered to the room each morning; much better than having to find breakfast in town each day! The woman who checked us in was particularly friendly and helpful - when we told her we would not need the basket delivered the first morning due to leaving for an early morning whale watch, she provided us with one in advance the night before so we could still have something to eat. This was such a nice, thoughtful touch.

The place is clean and cozy. We stayed at one of the cottages across the street, which had a jacuzzi. Breakfast was delivered every morning. The staff is very friendly and helpful. All the attractions of Carmel-by-the-sea are within a walk distance (albeit a bit hilly). Don't expect much "ocean views" from any window.
