    Attention to details, some design touches, amenities in the lobby and the room. The buffet breakfast services was good, bread was good. Free bicycles was nice but the staffs didn’t let us know until we discovered when we checked out. The location is unbeatable.

    Unimpressively mediocre room for a ridiculous 5 star boutique hotel prize. I come frequently to Carmel and check out new locations to stay. This place will become one of the more unpleasant memories.
