A nice “unexpected” stay with spacious rooms and grounds!
Pros:

Light pastries. … perfect for us! The location in Carmel Valley was perfect. An easy walk to two great winery tasting rooms. Also close to a great restaurant or two. The room size was spacious, fridge was large, the dining table had two fabulous swivel chairs, perfect decor, and wonderful hospitality. The layout of the facility is spacious. The pool area and privacy screening for rooms tops some of the better properties we haves stayed at. I noticed they have a charcoal BBQ available to visitors. Bravo to this “secret location”!

Cons:

Not much. Maybe better pillows (a mix of soft and medium and three on beds). We always bring our own, however, but we would love to not have to bring an extra. Some of the lower trim on doors could use some sanding and repainting, but our unit and the whole property looked absolutely clean.

Room setup/layout.

Cozy place to stay close the charming village.
Pros:

It's an older motel that has been updated into hipster cool. I really liked the beds and found them very comfortable. The room is very spacious and the village is a couple of blocks away. Very nice helpful staff and pleasantly accommodating guests.

Cons:

Shower head was super low for anyone 6 ft or more. The internet was pretty much unusable and there were very few guests so I can't imagine what it would be like in the high season.

Pros:

Quiet. Restaurant nearby. Bed was comfortable. Very spacious room. Free parking. Front desk person was nice.

Cons:

Wasn’t entirely clean. There were spiders in windowsill and showers. The heaters smelled like something was burning so we turned it off. Picture on wall fell down while we were laying on the bed. Bathroom needs updating.

A Nice 1x Night Stay
Pros:

We stayed for 1x night. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. We had a room in the back which was quiet. Complimentary coffee and pastries in the morning. Very close to Carmel Valley Village - walkable.
