    Breakfast was too simple, and the morning shift stuff was a little indifferent.

    Truly special historical building well maintained with full functional. Good location.

    The only criticism I would have is the noise pollution from other guests in the morning. Given the age of the building and how thin the walls might be, this is totally understandable however it was difficult to sleep. Plus being located on the top floor, we heard the seagulls first thing in the morning which woke us up initially. We did choose this top room so no discretion there but certainly something to think about.

    The property was very cool! Super old style but you need to be into that before you go. Everything looked very original. Roll top bath with a separate shower, quirky furniture to match its style and we had wonderful sea views from the top room. So glad we stayed as I personally love this style but could be deemed old fashioned to some. The history behind this house is really cool too. Loved learning about who used to live here and the area before it’s current condition. The breakfast was a bonus. Coffee, plenty of tea selection, juice, pastries and bagels to help yourself plus parfait offered on arrival to the dining area. Not to forget the complimentary glass of wine on arrival. Really nice touch and very appreciated on our stay after travelling up from the coast!

    They offered small portions for breakfast snacks and ran out of food most days. They were not consistent with making up the rooms. When they skipped our room, we asked where to leave trash. We were told leave trash in the hall and it sat there all day. While the bathroom was nice, the shampoo/conditioner and soap provided were very cheap so we did not use.

    We had a large bedroom with a smaller sitting room (with futon that turned into bed) and bathroom in between the two rooms. Nice set up for family of 4. The bathroom was nice and shower had good pressure. The main bed was very comfortable.

    Being a historic Victorian building from 1889, plumbing has some minor issues with water pressure, which affects ability to balance out water temperature using the shower knobs, as the main example.

    Well located, great staff, clean, comfortable. The text messages/reminders were a great touch. Good communication throughout the stay.

    It’s a historic building so, true to the period, the bathroom is small.

    We liked the historic feel. Front desk personnel, Daniel, was very helpful, efficient, friendly and informative. Free parking, next to downtown and easy walk to the water. WiFi worked well. Hot/cold water pressure was very good. Easy access to old town Carmel, Pt Lobos, Cannery Row, Asilomar beach. Happy hour glass of wine and freshly baked cookies add a very cozy, welcoming vibe.

    How hard it was to get into the shower. The tub was very tall, there should be a handle for safety reasons.

    When we arrived we were upgraded to a cottage. We arrived early and were able to check in. Champagne was out for the guests.

    Since it is an old, historic hotel, there is no a/c. The hotel did provide an fan which kept things cool. It was a little noisy though. Also, the parking lot is too small. I had to park on the street.

    The hotel itself is a pretty, Victorian building. The Breakfast Room is lovely. The breakfast was simple but excellent.

    The only (small) thing is there are no coffee makers in the room. But they have good coffee in lobby and there are some great coffee shops nearby.

    Beautiful and historic hotel in a fabulous area. So many places to walk to the ocean or around the cute town. Great restaurants and sights. The staff was very friendly and helpful!
