Great hotel in heart of carmel
The hotel was wonderful. Service was exceptional, the breakfast in the courtyard was really special. The rooms were very comfortable with robes, slippers and nespresso machine. The location is in the heart of carmel and short distance to the beach. It was ideal being there We stayed up in October and it was in the mid 60s to 70 so at night we left our windows open however there is no air conditioning so we would not have enjoyed our stay in the mid summer. Be cautious of that.

Overpriced
Very overpriced. Blonde European at the front desk who checked us in was so unwelcoming and defensive- an angry person should not work at the front desk when you are paying $600+ per night. Rooms have amazing bathrooms, but the slick Waterworks fixtures and Matouk bath towels didn’t make up for the cramped room, stained carpet and short stairs that you can barely/safely walk down. Rest of staff was super friendly and helpful. Hotel should seriously put someone else at that front desk if they want guests to feel welcomed without a nasty attitude.

4/10 Fair

Decor - rooms are outdated with a number of old, faded, stained furniture... see for yourself, photos below. This hotel should definitely NOT be part of luxury Auberge group. What a disappointing experience compared to Auberge du Soleil in the Wine country

One of the nicest Inns we’ve stayed at. Our room was spacious with a king size bed, two comfortable chairs, a huge bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. The extra amenities were wonderful including a Nespresso coffee pot, turndown service and homemade snacks. The included breakfast was delicious.
