    breakfast convenience
    friendly staff
    quiet atmosphere
    confusing check-out
    inconsistent dog policy

    I found the stay comfortable. Breakfast was easy to bring to my room. The staff was friendly and didn't mind my dog. The location made it convenient to explore. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere during my visit.

    The check-out process was confusing. I noticed some inconsistencies in the dog policy that weren't clearly communicated.

    great location

    Just a nice choice for a passing visit in Carmel-by-the-Sea with good price-quality ratio. The room had a fantastic amount of counter space in the bathroom for our things. Make sure to ask about parking spots when checking in.

    cozy cottage
    great location
    easy parking
    limited coffee supplies

    We had a fantastic family getaway in the Cambridge cottage, which was comfy and fully equipped. Having three beds was a huge plus for our group, and we loved being able to park right in front. Plus, the area is super charming with shops and restaurants nearby.

    For dads, it would be great if there were more coffee supplies.

    cozy atmosphere
    local recommendations
    cottage accommodations
    limited kitchenware

    Cozy atmosphere with unique cottage accommodations made the stay enjoyable. Access to local recommendations allowed for fantastic outings, while the easy walk to the beach and downtown made exploration effortless.

    The windows lacked screens, which made opening them for airflow a gamble—no one wants unwelcome bugs in their space. Kitchen utensils were sparse. basic essentials like cooking oil or decent pots were missing, making it hard to prepare meals as intended. On top of that, some rooms had poor soundproofing, allowing early morning chatter from neighbors to disrupt sleep. Finally, the inconsistent breakfast offerings didn't quite hit the mark, leaving little protein or variety for a satisfying start to the day.

    I stayed for 2 nights in a Somerset King Room. The location was excellent, close to downtown. The atmosphere was cozy and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. Clean amenities were provided daily. 😊

    cozy room
    great location
    fireplace feature
    basic breakfast

    Cozy spot with a super location

    I stayed for a night in the Sommerset King Room, which was just as cozy as it looked online. The fireplace was a nice touch, especially for a chilly evening. Location was spot on—close to everything I needed. One bummer though, breakfast was pretty basic and didn’t match the website pic at all. Could’ve used more options.

    cozy room
    helpful staff

    perfect for exploring art galleries and charming dining spots

    During my stay, I loved how cozy the room was, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, making my solo adventures even more enjoyable, especially with the nearby art galleries just a few steps away and delicious restaurants like Bistro Giovanni a short walk away for great meals. it's perfect for a single traveler looking for convenience and charm at an affordable price, but I did notice the windows could benefit from screens to keep out bugs while enjoying the fresh air.

    The cozy décor really made me feel at home! The location was fantastic—everything was within walking distance. A bit more attention to cleaning would be great though. 😊

    cozy retreat
    friendly staff
    tricky parking
    limited dining options
    compact facilities

    The Greenwich Room offered a cozy retreat with a lovely fireplace and a fridge in the closet, making it feel like home. The location is just a few blocks from the bustling Carmel center, which is incredibly convenient. However, parking can be tricky, and not all rooms might suit larger groups, given the compact size of the facilities. Breakfast was decent, but the offerings could have been more varied aside from pastries and bagels. Overall, a charming place with friendly staff, it’s a solid choice for couples looking to relax.

    clean room
    nice view
    great location
    outdated coffee maker
    bathroom refresh needed

    Stayed for a short visit to explore local shops and restaurants. The location was perfect, just a short walk to everything in town and still close to the beach. Our room was clean and had a nice view, but the bathroom could use a refresh. The coffee maker was quite outdated, which was a letdown considering the overall charm of the place.
