The staff is friendly and the room was clean. It is comfortable. But if you are looking for charm to match Carmel by the Sea, this is not the place. Also, when I arrived they had no record of my reservation. They said Hotels.com had not informed them. I had to show them a paper print out of the reservation.

Not the best place to stay
Check in was at 3. got there at 2:50 to see a sign saying they will be back in 20 minutes. waited for 40 and still nothing. Left and came back, had to wait after ringing and knocking for the staff, finally called the number for the person to come out. got a room just to have the keys not work.

No A/C and Thin Walls
We were surprised that there was no air conditioning in the room. For a $300+ room you would think this was standard. We ended waking up in the middle of the night multiple times since it got too hot in the room. Also, if you are a light sleeper I suggest you get a different place to stay. The walls are very thin, we heard our next door neighbor snoring through the walls, whenever someone opens the drawers and of course steps (we were on the bottom floor).
Some of the good things are the location which close to the stores and restaurants, the room is clean and parking was fine.
Overall, it was ok but I wouldn't recommend it.

Meh
The hotel facility was meh. It included breakfast, but we didn’t expect it to be a basket with a minute amount of cereal, some milk, an apple and a small danish. On the second morning they added a yogurt.
The room was okay - bed small but comfortable. It was renovated to look nice but the bathroom didn’t feel super clean, and the lack of threshold into the room from the bathroom showed it was not particularly well done and there was a very sharp edge on the flooring there. There were small ants in the room that were explained that ‘sometimes kids spill milk’ as we mentioned it as we checked out.
The location was great, and we had a sliver of ocean view from the little balcony. The service from the person at reception seemed rather uninterested in general.

Good three-star. Very good location. Clean and comfortable rooms. Staff polite but not warm. Breakfast is offered in a basket that is left at the door at 8:30. Customers can choose to eat in the room or in a small terrace outdoors inside the property. Breakfast includes cereal, cold milk, yogurt, a sweet bar and some fruit. Enough to get one going. Coffee in the room is terrible. Overall a good place to spend the night.

Nice clean room. Convenient to the main area. Delivered breakfast was a nice touch. Upstairs is a steep climb for seniors like us.

The property itself was very average, the room was fine with a comfortable bed. Pretty basic in every way (though they did not supply the room with nearly enough toilet paper). Excellent location and parking. I would definitely stay here again for it’s location and ease.

Great location, room was very nice, comfy bed and pillows. Only complaint was the soda machine ate a few dollars in change. Not a big deal, but disappointing when there is no open shops in the area to purchase water or beverages.
