    Stayed in the motel ... not in the cottages. Room very clean and had been remodel. Note it is a room only, no desk for a laptop plus a chairs. The balcony overlooked the Carmel River ... very nice. It's an older motel that has been remodel...

    The room was large and comfortable. The furniture was rustic, a little unique. It had a large balcony with a view of the river and green trees. Even close to the highway, you couldn’t hear the traffic.

    We had one of the little cabins, it was super cute, though there were cabins on either side, we had plenty of privacy & space
