Anniversary Trip
It was a great trip to celebrate our anniversary. Hotel is well situated to restaurants, shops, etc. The only thing we would do different the next time, we would not stay on a weekend because the rates are so expensive. If it wasn't the fact the anniversary was on a Saturday, we would have gone on a different day.

Our first time at this hotel gave us a great impression. Very clean elegant rooms with basic amenities. It’s in a good location easy walking distance to the Main Street with shops and restaurants and is only 15 minute walk to the Carmel beach. We went during the weekdays because weekends during summer it’s a zoo.

Great value!
Awesome location! So close to town center! The site was clean and well maintained. The room was very spacious and clean. Upon check in, we received cookies and a list of area partners that provided discounts and perks for eating or shopping with them. Love it! There was beautiful shrubbery everywhere too. Parking was very easy and plentiful. The bed was soft and comfy. There was a fireplace and mini frig area too. Tv was large and had many viewing options. Our room had a large jetted tub area that felt like a spa experience. Will definitely be back!!!!
