We loved the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff who made us feel pampered throughout our stay. The buffet breakfast was magnificent, with a wide range of fresh produce and freshly made omelets and waffles. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with beautiful landscaping and a character-filled ambiance. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet residential area but still within walking distance to Ocean Avenue, the beach, and all the restaurants and shops. The well-maintained grounds provided a lovely setting to relax and enjoy our evenings.

I absolutely loved the location of the hotel - it was so convenient to be able to walk to both downtown Carmel and the stunning beach. The fact that this hotel used to be a grand mansion and is right on the beach made it even more special. Additionally, the cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel facilities were also top-notch, with a cozy fireplace, beautiful grounds, and a lovely terrace where I could enjoy my breakfast.
