Opt for a Room with Heated Bathroom Floors
Several guests appreciated the luxurious touch of heated bathroom floors, especially in the cooler weather of Carmel.
Consider Breakfast Options
Guests enjoyed the in-room breakfast offerings, particularly the healthy Chia seed pudding and juice shot, and the Avocado toast, but some found the breakfast options limited and the patio unsuitable for winter dining.
Take Advantage of the Location
The hotel's proximity to the beach, shops, and restaurants was highlighted by many guests, making it convenient for exploring the area on foot.
Be Mindful of Noise Levels
Some guests noted that the hotel's walls were thin, leading to noise from neighboring rooms and the courtyard, so light sleepers may want to consider this when booking.
Request Assistance Early
A few guests experienced challenges with staff assistance for dinner reservations and found the breakfast serving system to be inflexible, suggesting that early communication with the staff may be beneficial.
Appreciate the European Charm
Guests appreciated the hotel's charming European style, well-maintained historic building, and cozy, clean rooms, providing a unique and pleasant atmosphere.
Consider Mobility Issues
As there are no elevators and garden steps to reach even first-floor rooms, guests with mobility issues may want to inquire about room accessibility.
Enjoy Personalized Service
The attentive and kind staff were highlighted as a standout feature, contributing to a wonderful overall guest experience.
Check for Room Amenities
While some guests enjoyed the extra details like welcome drinks and snacks, others found the rooms to be dated and mentioned maintenance issues such as a constant drip in the bathtub and slippery shower floor.
Be Aware of Room Furnishings
A few guests mentioned that the rooms were small and poorly furnished, and some found the bed too soft, so it may be worth considering room options based on personal preferences.
