Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- Great location close to downtown Carmel's restaurants and shops
- A nice heated outdoor pool, and sauna
- Some rooms have private balconies
- Fourth-floor observation deck with ocean views
- Free off-street parking
- Free breakfast in the lobby
- Free Wi-Fi
- Some rooms are dog-friendly, for a fee
Cons
- Old tube TVs in most rooms
- Some complaints of thin walls
- Decor is lackluster and dated
- "Kitchens" in rooms lack stoves
Bottom Line
This 38-room German-chalet-style boutique hotel is unique for multiple reasons. First, it actually has a few on-site facilities, including a well-kept (and attractive) heated pool and two saunas. Although rooms are rather bland and dated, with empty walls and old tube TVs, they're clean, large, and have plenty of natural light; some even have private balconies and fireplaces. While there aren't any dining options on-site, the hotel's location is perfect for parking the car and walking to the downtown Carmel area. Being that the hotel was built on a hill and stands four stories tall (most in Carmel are no more than two), the viewing deck, balconies, and even some rooms, offer glimpses of the beautiful Pacific.
