The hotel's location is top-class, within a modest walk from Carmel's center with its high-end shops and charming restaurants, as well as the beautiful beach. The rooms were small and overpriced, lacking modern amenities as shown in the pictures. The service exceeded expectations but did not match the premium prices.

Rooms

Our room was very small and frankly overpriced for what it offered. The bathroom was inadequate and didn't look as modern as expected from the booking photos.
Service
7.0
The service was very pleasant, with helpful and polite staff even serving us tea late in the evening. However, it didn't align with the quality one would anticipate given the high prices.
Location

The hotel's beautifully kept surroundings and comfortable beds and pillows were major pluses. It's a short walk to the center of Carmel with its upscale establishments and to the pretty beach, making it ideal for adults.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were noisy but had a nice rooftop view, although they lacked sufficient furniture. The location was excellent, close to the beach and town, but I found it overpriced compared to the amenities offered. The service was attentive, but some aspects were not up to par. The dining options were good, but lacked variety. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms, though nicely appointed with amenities, were disappointingly small and overpriced. The bathroom was inadequate, making the overall experience subpar. On the bright side, the location was fantastic, offering easy access to the beach and nearby attractions.

The hotel offered cozy rooms that, although a little small, provided a great night's sleep and were kept nice and clean. The service was friendly and helpful, with a few small exceptions. The location was excellent, just a stone's throw away from downtown. The dining experience was tasty but somewhat unvaried. Overall, a pleasant stay at the hotel.
