The staff went above and beyond. Everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful We enjoyed the breakfast buffet very much. It is not your typical pastry, coffee and cold cereal. Something for everyone and if you have any dietary restrictions let them know and they will accommodate your needs. I don’t eat gluten myself and they went out of their way to bake some gf berry muffins for me!

Great central location. Spotless and clean common areas. Everything felt new but our room was on the small side and had an unpleasant pet odor.

Many choices at breakfast that were skillfully prepared. Great location for enjoying the town of Carmel by the Sea. Only negative is the parking is tight. It seems they have exactly the same number of parking places as rooms.
