Great location! Walking distance to all wine tasting rooms and restaurants within Carmel Valley Village. Plenty of parking, great pool and hot tub on the property, and very quiet in the evening. This is our go-to spot when we visit Carmel Valley.

Very nice older motel type setting. It's an old property but has been updated and is in great shape. Rooms are big and tastefully decorated. One story w/ small, private patio. Neighbors were loud but they settled down by 10p. Would gladly stay again.

Really quiet area in a valley surrounded by mountains , nice little hot tub, clean linens and bathroom.
Very comfortable bed and if you’re planning on just having a place to sleep this is a great place for the price.

Great location - Big rooms!
This location is really quiet and off the main road. The rooms are large and each has a private fenced in patio to the grass court yard and pool. Staff was polite and helpful. No complaints at all, we will be back!

Loved this quaint and quiet spot for our weekend stay. The private patio adjacent to the pool was very nice. The room was adorably furnished with mid mod furniture. Plus the pastries and coffee provided for breakfast were so good, especially the chocolate croissant!
