- Review: Stayed here to celebrate my wife's birthday. The room and service were great. Location was in the middle of downtown Carmel, so everything was walking distance. The breakfast meat quiche was delicious. The bathtub had jets, which was very relaxing. The parking lot is a bit tricky to maneuver, but there is also street parking. Walls might be a bit on the thin side. Definitely heard the next-door neighbors "in the act," which may have been the only negative part of our stay., by Alan, May 13, 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent

There were e-bikes to rent which was great- the first hour was free. Breakfast was served to our room at the time we requested and a nightly turn down service with a cookie was an added bonus.
