9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,259 reviews)
Truly a gem in Carmel by the Sea! Beautiful place with large rooms, comfy bed, comfy pillows. Nice fireplace in room however no A/C. Even for August, it was OK. We left our window open and the room was quite comfortable. Surprisingly as we cannot sleep well without AC. The staff was above and beyond, from the front desk (thanks Luis) to the breakfast room staff to the housekeeping staff. Helpful and great service. The free breakfast was great. Scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, bread, bagels, Danish, muffins, yogurt, fruit, juices, cereal and more. Varied each day, fresh and delicious. Nice strong coffee too! Nice heated pool, plenty of free parking on site. Exceptional cleanliness throughout the property. Added bonus, local grocery/deli, Bruno's, right next door including a huge wine selection! Walkable area with plenty of shops, restaurants, pharmacy. Such a wonderful experience. Cannot wait to go back!!
