Location, location, location
The hotel is nice and unique. The location of it is what drew us to this hotel. It’s 2 blocks from Ocean Ave and down town Carmel. The beds were nice and the fire pit is cool. The only complaint I had is the you could hear the doors in everyone’s rooms opening and closing so it made it hard to sleep. Other than that a great stay

Anniversary Trip
It was a great trip to celebrate our anniversary. Hotel is well situated to restaurants, shops, etc. The only thing we would do different the next time, we would not stay on a weekend because the rates are so expensive. If it wasn't the fact the anniversary was on a Saturday, we would have gone on a different day.
