The hotel was warm, clean, quiet, and very cozy, which made it feel truly comfortable and relaxing. I felt safe the entire time, which is so important when traveling. The location is amazing — it’s close to the shopping mall, restaurants, and the downtown area, making it super convenient to get around without driving far. The staff maintained the property very well, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and a great location. ##### Aliyar Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean and friendly staff. ##### Joseph Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julian 25 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property was above and beyond anything i expected. The grounds are well kept, the cottages are cozy, beautiful and feels like home. The entire property is very peaceful and breathtaking. I will be staying at that property whenever i visit Carmel or Monterey! ##### Julian Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were so nice and the cottage was very clean and well supplied. It was terrific to have a stand alone place, with no upstairs or downstairs neighbors and it was so quiet. Seems like it'd recently been remodeled because everything appeared to be new. Only problem was no hot water, but as soon as we brought it to the attention of the office, it was promptly fixed. We'd happily stay here again and highly recommend to other travelers. ##### Pam Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Albert 4 Dec 2025 Liked: Amenities Lovely property! We thought we might stay only one night so we chose to stay in a room at the main hotel. Nice clean room on the river. Our Issue was at night we could hear the walking around very loudly from room above. As we really wanted to stay one more night, we asked if they could accommodate us in a one room cottage at a discount. Amy did it for us! LOVED IT SO MUCH!! Clean and adorable. The property is lovely as well. we can't wait to return. Highly recommend staying in a cottage over the main hotel. We also had beautiful weather 😁 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4cd4603b-9040-419e-a3a1-df1d0cf6fb24-1764875543536.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8ebd5ab8-b98b-4123-81b5-e5d7ff3dda9f-1764875544074.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4fa9deb3-1bfe-4a9c-8903-1dd1b77d06cf-1764875542982.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/888fe8b0-de87-4dcf-afd5-e32d5e44cf69-1764875541368.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Albert Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Happy Little Cottage Stay We loved our stay!

Though we stayed for one night, the rooms were absolutely adorable, the vintage cottage vibe was to die for! Everything from the uniquely painted houses, to the flowers in the front yard, this place was super pretty! The beds were soft and comfy, and big enough to share. The amenities were good, water was hot and shower supplies were provided, but overall our stay at these cottages was amazing. Definitely would return! ##### Romina Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristina 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place.

Major issue they allow animals in the room and they placed someone with a dog above us, due to its old refurbished style, we can hear the dogs running around in the room above us allll night long! ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawn 25 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Stay!
