Convenient location walking distance to ocean beach. Historical building old world Victorian. Excellent restaurant inside hotel, ocean views from our room, great closet, on site parking, staff very accommodating. Down side Lots of stairs no elevator Rooms old furniture Bathroom small.

6/10 Good

Beautiful lobby at a historic hotel. However, sensible moderations (e.g. bathroom, more outlets and firmer mattress) would enhance the balance of staying at a heritage hotel. The location was great, walking distance to everything.

There were not significant issues. I suppose I should have expected less than luxurious accommodations given the age of the property. My room was slightly musty and the mattress was lumpy. If your priority is being in the middle of the downtown area walkable to restaurants and shops, this location will work, but I can't say that I will stay again.

We had a great room with view of the ocean. But no elevator made walking up 3 stories of stairs was a pain. I would go back.

Not much to say about the property that’s great other than it’s located right on Ocean Ave next to everything Carmel has to offer.

Nice hotel close to shops and beach. They have their own parking lot which is a plus. Staff were fabulous. Rooms are nice, clean. Connected to Il Fornaio restaurant which is convenient. Food was good, restaurant staff also great. Advertised breakfast starts at 730 but didn’t open until almost 8. Wish the property offered complimentary coffee in lobby available before 730a. No fridge in room, no coffee machine in room, really no amenities. Heat in room is via radiator, loud at times if turned up. Would stay again.

Beautiful rooms & located right in the downtown area with all the shopping & restaurants! My only complaint was the wi-fi signal in my room (room #1, entrance in the courtyard near the back door to Il Fornaio) was EXTREMELY weak and unusable. I ended up having to just run on my data plan while staying there. It seems like the hotel could install a signal booster to make sure all their rooms get a decent wi-fi signal.

Our room was five flights up and we could not manage it physically so we were moved next door to the Tally Ho. Our room had a great deck and was very clean although dated and had a musty smell. Very well located. We were grateful for the option.

Hotel has lots of character, room was great, clean, the bed was easily the most comfortable of all the hotels we stayed at on our 2 week roadtrip. Location was an easy walk to the beach and in the core area with the shops.
