I love this place! Nicely maintained grounds, rooms clean and comfortable, with fireplace, coffee maker and a mini-fridge. Fantastic location. An easy walk to many shops and restaurants. Bruno's market next door has everything you need for a great stay or a picnic at the beach. Friendly staff. No, it's not 4-star luxury. It's old, has cramped parking and you can hear the neighbors walking upstairs, but that's typical of many Carmel Hotels I've stayed in. If you want a clean, charming, convenient place to stay, this is a great one to choose.
