Great, seamless check-in. Clean room. Quiet, off the beaten path. Cozy room. Two main issues (though we had a great stay): the shower head needed to be replaced--the openings for the water were so small, it almost felt like needles, and unfortunately, we had ants in the sink area. Both fixable.

We booked a two-bedroom suite, which is the whole 2nd floor. The suite was very quiet, so we had excellent sleep. Parking in the area is understandably tight, but our suite had a dedicated parking spot, which was very convenient for us. Overall, it was very good experience for us for a one-night stay in Carmel by the Sea.

Lovely stay with my son right near downtown Carmel, very walkable to beach and restaurants, good value for price including parking. Easy drive down the coast to Big Sur and Point Lobos. Only downside was the roof construction going on during our stay which we don’t know would be going on, I would come back but ask in advance about any construction.

The room is just as is pictured. It's small, but we used it just for sleeping. It's The in a pretty good location, which is a bonus. The room was clean, but it does smell a bit old. The parking spots are pretty tight, but others have mentioned that already.
