8/10 Very good

We requested a room with handicap amenities for my mom that is disabled. I was informed that they were full to capacity. We were assigned a room at the back of the hotel (102) and the front desk pretended that a person with a walker could take more than eleven deep steps. No compassion from the front desk staff. Luckily the bell person ( helping with the luggage) had some sense and took us to the back of the hotel. I think his names is James. Event lets us borrow a wheelchair. Staff at the bar/restaurant super helpful.Housekeeping staff excellent. Front desk more than one staff need new training. At least a smile once in a while . The driest staff ever. Beautiful landscaping good location. The parking need handicap spaces.

Service par excellence
Our second annual stay for my birthday after Thanksgiving madness. The hotel staff is so well trained & efficient at their jobs. We felt pampered & spoiled. Love the spot on styled interior spaces, the amazing brunch spread & the welcome vino & Ghirardelli chocolate chip cookies. The shuttle service to restaurants completes the service. We love it & will be back! Thank you!

Relaxing Weekend
The newly renovated hotel is such a beautiful property! They did updates without changing the feel of the hotel. The extra touches they provide makes staying there a joy! I honestly have no complaints. The breakfast that is included is by far the best one I have enjoyed in a long time! Most included breakfasts are lacking but this was delicious and such a wonderful surprise. The array of folks staying there were all also friendly. The hotel is the best of both worlds and its close to the beach and not far to the village. I can't say enough about it! It was the best place for a Staycation and a fun time with friends!

This place is an amazing must while in Carmel. The redesign is absolutely beautiful. The staff treat you like family and attempt to anticipate your every need. The staff make this place like a movie. It’s almost magical being onsite here. The manager is doing an awesome job with the team. It’s one of the best hotel staff I’ve come across in a while.
