Our stay was great. The location is ideal. The weather was perfect. One day we walked along the streets of Carmel. The next day we went whale watching, and saw a bunch of whales. It’s Dungeness crab season and everywhere we ate was delicious. Our favorite brunch spot, The Wave Cafe, which is across the street, never disappoints. Can’t wait to come back again.

Very comfortable beds. Quiet area, easy parking, really nice staff.
We were upgraded to an ocean view for free which was awesome! Both receptionists were friendly, and the housekeeping did a great job. Couldn't have asked for a better location in Cannery row. Everything was a quick 5-10 min walk away.
The walls were very thin. Luckily we were on the fourth floor, but we could hear both sets of neighbors opening/closing the bathroom doors, turning on the shower, brushing teeth, talking, etc. We've lived in college apartments and dorms, and stayed in many many hotels and this was by far the worst noise disturbance I've experienced. The first morning they started doing room repairs on the third floor, and we had a very rude awakening to power tools at 8:30 AM. The room was also not quite as "nice" looking as in the pictures. Definitely a little more run down than we expected.
Location was excellent. Staff were friendly. Room was recently renovated and nice. I could hear footsteps above me. Less than 10 minute walk to the aquarium, down cannery row. I will go back.
