Not a luxury stay, but it is comfortable and puts you in a great location at a reasonable price.
Pros:

Excellent location on Ocean Ave., just a couple of minutes walk to the iconic Carmel beach, as wel as to so many restaurants and shops! It is one of the classic Carmel motels that has been there forever (literally over 100 years!).

Cons:

Breakfast was not great (minimal and not of great quality). The room was well maintained and clean, but rather small.

Great location, nice and affordable.
Pros:

Bed was comfortable. Location was great. Bathroom was nice.

Cons:

Would have liked some bottled water to make coffee. Shutters did not block out the lights outside the room (off the pool). Breakfast was minimal. Should describe as “continental breakfast”
