A great location and easy drive to Carmel Valley and attractions in the area. The place needs some work-paint is flaking. It’s beautiful with great views but dated. The housekeeping never came even though it said in the welcome sheet that they come daily with an evening turn down lights as well. No refrigerator in the room. The bell staff were not quite welcoming and helpful.

Check in time is 4pm. We checked in around 4:40pm but the room was not ready. They could provide any more information but want to charge our credit card immediately. The ocean view room was obstructed by other building. We could not see sunset view because of the other building in front of us. We felt like the room was built in the basement. Only one sliding window has obstructed ocean view. Especially when you sit down on the table. You will feel like everything is in the basement.

Beautify view of ocean/coast.. warning though.. there are TWO DIFFERENT HOTELS HERE.. the room description is NOT necessarily the room you actually get ! the room description stated FULL FRIDGE.. when I called to verify I was told that is the "Vacation Properties" not the main resort and that there would be a mini fridge how are you supposed to know when you book then ? so not only was there not a full fridge.. there was NO MINI FRIDGE. Also.. parking is VERY limited and you could end up driving around and around property trying to find a space and makes you not want to leave again in fear of losing a good parkign spot and hving to walk around uphills and down stairs. Be ready..
