Pros: Breakfast one day (but not both - didn't get a card for the second morning, didn't realize we had to fill it out for every morning we wanted breakfast - so make sure you fill out your menu card!!)
Walking distance to downtown and beaches

Pros: It's an older motor lodge style hotel, but the rooms have been nicely updated. It was clean and bed very comfortable. The Nespresso pod coffee maker is a nice convenience. Plus the location was a short walk from the main streets of downtown Carmel. Request a second story room, overlooks the ocean in the distance, otherwise I think your view is another hotel. Recommend for a short stay.

Clean
Cons: Did not get breakfast second morning
Our room faced right out to fire pit - loud
No fans / AC - it was HOT, air was not moving, and could not leave window open due to noise factor from street and fire pit
Parking lot is very small, tight spots

Pros: Location was great. Cookies in reception and breakky were terrific. The rooms are spacious (huge actually) and well appointed. couldn't ask for anything else.
Cons: You can hear other guests coming and going in their cars and if they talk loudly in the driveway or on the corridors. I suggest that at check-in that the staff advise all guests to minimise noise at nighttime.

Pros: Beautiful rooms! The bed and sheets were amazing and the room was immaculate. The soaps and shampoos were very high quality. This hotel is in a very peaceful street. I slept like a baby. The fireplace was lovely too. At night, the courtyard is lit up with little torches so it's quite pretty. Theresa, the manager, was incredibly kind and helpful.

Pros:
Cons: While we thought we rec'd a decent deal at $360 for a single night for a deluxe king room, a day before our trip i noticed a similar king room for $100 less. Figuring i would just get a better room with a view, i was disappointed to learn that the room had no view and just a gas fireplace. I mentioned the discrepancy in the rates, but they only suggested that we should have booked directly instead and called in first to verify the rates and the available rooms.

Cons: Parking is on the street only, but it wasn’t hard to find. The building is old dating to 1928, which gives it historic charm, but some may be turned off by it. Also the ground floor was a bit noisy in the morning, but nothing too bad.

Pros: Great location, cute B&B-like quality
Cons: NO AC!! On a 100 degree weather, but no notice at all to guests beforehand OR at check in!! Smells like dog (it's dog friendly, another surprise!) I love dogs, but like, that needs to be stated upfront - and the rooms better never smell like other guests pets. Also, the guest next door left their poor pup alone in the room and the dog would not stop hauling (at 7:30am! On a Saturday) - I know that's not really on the hotel, but maybe tell guests to not leave dogs unattended in their room? Oh and again, also be VERY upfront about how pet friendly you're hotel is so that all guests are aware before booking.

Cons: Stayed in cottage 17 is a tight squeeze. It's not quite updated like some of the other cottages reviewed. Cottage 17 needs some work. It gets super hot from the sun, so a blackout shade & A/C or fan on site is mandatory. (A fan is available upon request). Carpet is torn and old and needs replacing and the shower is very tight like a phone booth.
