Om (on-site manager) was fabulous from the second we walked in - easiest check in process and had the radiated happiness our entire stay. The location is nestled perfectly on the more northern part of Carmel - walkable to every area. We were just one black from Casanovas and had a wonderful time shopping and enjoying all the local businesses nearby. The only downside we have is that on the weekend it took us 30+ mins to find a parking spot. The property does have a few stalls, however it is first come first serve. If you like to be in a safe/quiet area, but still can walk to any part of town - this is your spot. Hospitality is great. Will definitely stay here again!
