Lovely hotel. Very comfortable and clean room and bathroom. The bed was also comfy. They had bottle refill stations by the ice machine which we appreciated. The outdoor fireplace at the end of the day with a glass of wine. No elevator so ask for first floor if you have mobility issues.

Location, location, location
The hotel is nice and unique. The location of it is what drew us to this hotel. It’s 2 blocks from Ocean Ave and down town Carmel. The beds were nice and the fire pit is cool. The only complaint I had is the you could hear the doors in everyone’s rooms opening and closing so it made it hard to sleep. Other than that a great stay
