My family (2 adults 3 children) stayed last weekend. We booked the suite (two queen beds with sofa bed) at $500 per night. Great accessibility to carmel beach and downtown. But the sofa bed had almost broken mattress. We couldn’t sleep on it so we folded back to sofa and slept. So the suite , while it says sleep up to 6, barely accommodate only 4 people. So if you plan to reserve the suite because you expect 5-6 people sleeping there, don’t ever try it.

The room was clean, spacious and had a nice patio with a view of the ocean. The hotel is conveniently located midtown between the beach and the shopping plaza. On site parking was also convenient.

Small (12 rooms), quaint older hotel with a great location just steps from downtown Carmel-by-the-sea and short walk to the beach. A little bit dated but adds to the charm, in my opinion. Coffee available in the office but no breakfast which seems to be the norm in many of the hotels in the area. They have free parking available. Would definitely stay there again.

Room was spacious, clean and comfortable and quiet. Hotel is older so a little outdated but well maintained. Like so many hotels, the bathtub lacked grab bars which is essential for so many seniors.
