Perfect location next to downtown Carmel. Very quiet and clean room. Continental breakfast included eggs, bacon, pastries, etc. This was a great affordable mom-and-pop owned hotel and we will be staying here again!

We found the room clean, the bed very comfortable, the in-room fridge and breakfast included convenient, the fireplace nice for warmth and atmosphere and the grounds well maintained with beautiful flowers in hanging baskets, balcony flower boxes and potted topiaries. We felt comfortable and safe in the hotel location and enjoyed it’s close proximity to restaurants, art galleries, shopping, a small local market next door and walking distance to the beach for us who enjoy long walks for exercise. The only negative is that the walls are thin enough to hear a guest showering and sometimes toilet flushing in room next door or above. Fortunately, the rooms on either side of us were empty most of the time during our three-night stay.

The best thing about this hotel is the location. You can walk anywhere in downtown Carmel from here, including the beach. It's next door to a small market and a short walk to numerous coffee shops and restaurants. The hotel is a little dated, but it's clean, comfortable, safe, and one of the more affordable options in an expensive town like Carmel. I would stay here again if I was in Carmel again.
