Loved every part of staying at this hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful with local recommendations. You’re very well taken care of at this hotel. There’s free cake every night, as well as free snacks and water in the room (including fresh baked cookies). The grounds were beautiful and the room was cozy. There’s a limited number of rooms, so it’s really peaceful and homey. We loved the daily room service breakfast. The location is also close to great restaurants, shopping, and the water. Would stay here every time I’m in Carmel!
