Very convenient location and it’s super easy to walk downtown. There’s shopping and plenty of restaurants nearby. The hotel isn’t fancy, but it’s cute and comfortable. It’s spacious enough and is pet friendly. We’ve stayed several times and have always had a nice time here.

We loved our stay in Carmel! Walking distance to everything you need including a public parking place. My dog felt very welcomed and would definitely recommend to anyone. Comfortable and clean room, nice bathroom, and even real fire chimney inside the room

We booked the 2 bedroom suite for 4 people and it was very spacious for all of us. It was also extremely convenient that both bedrooms had their own full bathroom! It was walking distance to all the shops and restaurants and we never needed to drive anywhere in town. There’s a coffee maker in the room but the office also has a keurig and hot water for tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. There is no common area between the bedrooms but we didn’t mind. One thing I would like to see is access to a microwave, however it wasn’t a deal breaker for us. For the price, location and convenience it was all worth it. Also, we never had trouble finding parking in the lot or on the street side with no time limits so that was a huge plus. They accommodated a late check in as we arrived around midnight and it was very easy. I would stay here again.

Cute little property. My husband & I were here a second time because we love how close it is to restaurants & shops. We didn’t bring our vehicle & walked everywhere. There was also a view of the ocean. We will be back again. Loved it!
