They had construction at their sister property across the street at the Tally Ho starting before 8am and didn’t make any note about it on the reservation. That was supremely unprofessional and annoying as we liked the property but wouldn’t have stayed there and paid for an ocean front room had we known.

Great location and good rates

It is a very old hotel. No elevator. Floors uneven. Room furniture pretty old . (Newer mattress).

Excellent location. Friendly staff. I’ll Fornaio restaurant on site. Bed was comfortable. Lobby is in Victorian style and comfortable.

We had Xmas Night dinner in your restaurant which was sadly a very disappointing experience - starting from the gentlemen who served us did not want to be there - made obvious .The main meal came prior to the entree being finished and the same gentlemen ( although of course it was not his fault ) didnt even say "apologies " . The food also was not very good

the front desk staff where fabulous -

Because the room was small and tight, we stubbed our toes and knees a couple of times on the bed frame corners. The heater/radiator is not heating the room quickly and makes a dripping/tinkering noise. We can also hear the next-door occupants so we were very conscious about the noises we make.

The room was small, clean, and cozy, and the bed was comfy. There was a lot of storage like drawers and a separate room like a closet. The location was perfect with the ocean view, window shutters can be opened for better view.

Wonderful historic place to stay. Clean, friendly staff, perfect location, beautiful ocean view from our room! Will stay there again!

Parking They didn’t have enough parking for all rooms. We had to park in the EV spot because there was no other parking available. Told us we had to move it because our car wasn’t EV. They gave us a spot in the sister hotel across but then asked us to move that again too . They should not advertise free parking if they didn’t have enough spots . At least make a note so people will know about the inconvenience and think about alternatives. Room noise : there was a lot of noise from upstairs unit. We could hear them walking upstairs and the wood making a lot of noise and kept us awake at night .

Location was amazing Our room was great specious and comfortable

Its location is near to everything in Carmel

The entrance to the hotel from the parking area was not clearly marked. We wandered for some time looking for our way in. It should be noted that some rooms are up a fairly long flight of stairs and there doesn't appear to be an elevator.

You can't beat the location for a visit to Carmel that is geared towards walking about town. The staff on check-in and check-out was very friendly. It is an older building and I found the rooms charming.

We loved the entire experience. It was very close to everything we wanted to go to, and a very quaint hotel. The staff were phenomenal.

The tub was not as large as I expected. Some of the items were a little outdated. A tapestry or something to dampen outside noise would have minimized noise from the people outside a bit. The room was next to the bakery and the door just opens to the room. A lot of foot traffic could be heard sometimes.

Room easy to find and very clean. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Tons of shops and places to eat either in the hotel building or right outside. Communication before booking to answer any questions I had.

Our standard room was very small, had no fridge, coffee maker or microwave, there are over 60+ rooms only 21 parking space, most of the guests have to park on the street 2h parking from 8am to 8pm, hotel is 3 stories with no elevator but bellman can help carrying luggage up the stairs, there were no complimentary coffee or tea for the guests in the lobby

Charming Victorian style historical hotel. Our room had beautiful oceanviews, walking distance to the beach and city center all the shops and restaurants, our bed was very comfortable nice bathroom

Only downside is that this is an historic building so doesn’t have elevators. Bathroom was a little dated.

Fantastic location, beautiful historic building with a lovely terrace for evening drinks. Staff were exceptional - helpful and very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

There is no elevator, but we were helped with our luggage.

The Hotel was great. It has the perfect location, near all stores, restaurants, and near the beach as well. The services were great and all the people that attend us were so warm and gentle that made us feel like home. Thank you!!!

The hotel restaurant is something of an oddity. In the weekend breakfast isn't included. We wanted to have a snack after arrival at 9:30 pm and were told that the restaurant closes at 9pm on Friday night! There are no coffee making facilities in the rooms because, apparently, the restaurant forbids it. At more than $300 per night, I expect to have coffee facilities in the room and don't give a damn what the restaurant says about it!

A very pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was nice, with a comfortable bed and huge bathroom. While the hotel is old/historic the hotel is old, it is well-maintained. Some people seem to think this is not the case, but if you're looking for a brand new place, then this isn't the best choice.

Room was quite small; there is no elevator as it’s an old building; no parking lot as it was full but the staff told us where to park with no time limitation

Beautiful historic building, cosy room, excellent location, kind staff
