7.4/10

The hotel is situated in a great location, close to everything and with a distant ocean view. The rooms were spacious, but some felt dark and outdated. The service was generally friendly but I had a rude awakening at 9 AM when someone knocked on my door. On the positive side, the breakfast was charming and thoughtful with fresh pastries. Overall, it had its ups and downs, but I felt it was a decent value for the location.

Rooms

I had a very spacious room with a fireplace and a balcony that offered ocean views, but some of the rooms seemed dark and quite old-fashioned.

Service

6.0

The staff was quite friendly and provided helpful insights about the area, but I was woken up by a knock on the door at 9 AM, which was not ideal.

Location

The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and the main areas of Carmel, which made it super convenient.

Breakfast included fresh pastries, orange juice, and coffee in a cozy lobby, which was very nice and thoughtful.
