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.

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.

Excellent!!
Pros:

The front desk (Miriam) was very hospitable and helpful. In fact, she helped me with my car issue. Without her help, I would’ve driven back to LA with an unsafe car. Thank you so much to Miriam!!!

A perfect place to stay away from home. Professionally managed by a wonderful staff.
Pros:

Kala, the innkeeper, was extremely helpful in forwarding my medication I forgot in the room. I don't now what I would have done without her professional help.
The room was very clean and quiet.

Quiet escape
Pros:

If you are looking for a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of Monterey and Carmel this is the place. This was our second stay. It's always clean and extremely quiet. We rarely see anyone else on the property. Parking is plentiful. The property is walking distance to pretty much everything in town. We will definitely be back.

Comfortable and fabulous!
Pros:

An enchanting, unique experience. The location and grounds come together to make this magical. Fresh, original decor is uplifting. Airy, with awesome views. So tastefully appointed, the room was extremely comfortable including the ultrapadded carpet. Management truly wonderful. Incredible price. The best bed I've slept in as far back as I can remember. I can't wait to return and stay much longer.

Cons:

Nothing
