Loved staying here. We stayed for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. Special shout out to the chefs in the kitchen. Every morning, during breakfast, their kindness and energy would make our day better. They were the highlight of the stay. The pool and hot tub were awesome too!

Enjoyed our stay. Didn't interact much with staff, but they were nice. Room was clean. Enjoyed the fire pit in the brisk evening. Great location for Carmel Shops or Cannery Row.
