The place is clean and neat. The staff are friendly and helpful. Only thing we didn't like is the shower. Water is low due to clogged shower head. And the sink the water drains slowly.

Staying here was the best decision we’ve made for a vacation. The price was amazing and the location was perfect. It was very walkable from downtown Carmel and the beach. It was mostly quiet (except early morning traffic which was easily taken care of with the windows closed). The bed was so comfortable and everything was well stocked/clean. Can’t wait to stay again!

We stayed in the “executive” 2 bedroom unit. It was clean, modern and looked to be newly renovated. The hotel/motel is located perfectly for shops, restaurants and walking down to the beach. We also went to the theater to watch a musical and that was a short half mile walk too. No frills, clean place to stay - you are out all day so this was perfect for us - two adults. Fridge but no microwave in room. We did self check in and check out so did not interacted with staff.
