Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was perfect - in a quiet residential area near Carmel beach and within walking distance to some lovely restaurants. The rooms were cozy and clean, the service was amazing, and the garden surrounding the hotel was beautiful. However, I wished there were more dining options on-site. Overall, great value for money and a relaxing experience.
The hotel is situated near Carmel beach, in a quiet residential area, making it convenient to explore all that Carmel has to offer. The service was exceptional as they accommodated our request for a room change without any fuss. However, the dining options were limited, and the price could be more budget-friendly.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw from the brilliant beach and within walking distance of fantastic restaurants. The rooms were top-notch, the service was exceptional, and the dining experience was a delight. However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks.
The hotel is situated in a beautiful garden by the sea, which is within walking distance of the brilliant beach. The location is top-notch, close to the beach and surrounded by a lovely environment. The dining options are plentiful with delicious home-made food, including waffles, but the smoked fish was a highlight. Accommodating our request for a room move without any complaint was a lovely touch. The facilities offered were great, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable.
