Clean, comfortable and well maintained property that’s good value for the area. Great location. They’ve worked hard to bring some nice charm and character to the “motel” bones of the place. The only issue is that the walls are a bit thin - hopefully you have quiet neighbors next to your room.

Celebrated our son's birthday in Carmel. We liked the property location as it was away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. It was a good walk down to the beach and didn't have to worry about finding parking. Nice view from the upstairs room.
