We enjoyed our stay here. It was walkable to Carmel’s town and quickly drivable to Monterey. The cold breakfast delivered to our door each morning was lovely and the rooms comfortable. Highly recommended.

This is our new favorite place! Excellent location (short walk to downtown), large room, designated parking space, and delicious breakfast delivered to your room every morning. Outstanding. The staff is lovely as well. We chose this property at the last minute for a much needed getaway, and the calming sounds from the Buddha fountain were exactly what we needed. Love this property and looking forward to booking again very soon.

The room was clean and cosy. Everything worked well and was thoughtful, including the breakfast. Th only thing is that since the building is wooden, we could hear the upstairs.

The ocean view in the double bed rooms is wonderful but the rooms heat up a lot in the late afternoons with the sun hitting the walls for hrs.

Great little place to stay. Only reason I didn’t rate it higher was it was a bit smaller than expected. Staff were great. The property grounds were extremely well taken care of. Local shoppes and neighborhood was perfect.

Quiet and beautiful location with very helpful staff. Our room had a view of the ocean and the breakfast delivered each morning was a great surprise. There was no A/C but we never needed it with the cool breezes through the open windows even at night.
