Check-in was hectic and not an ideal flow. We ended up parking ourselves and waiting for our room to be ready. Beautiful stay, but the time-share aspect took away from the experience.

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.

Struggling hotel with overpriced rates

If I’m paying $850 a night, I expect better service and accommodations than what the local roadside motel has to offer. This aging hotel fell short of our expectations for the following reasons. 1) The check-in process took 25 minutes. Not because of a line but because of slow service and other upset customers. 2) Upon checking in, you are immediately referred to someone who harasses you about timeshares. 3) The ocean view room we paid extra for smelled musty and the ocean view was blocked by a giant tree. 4) The room had no refrigerator as advertised. No mini fridge was available. This resulted in us having to toss $50 worth of leftovers. 5) The first time we tried taking a shower we noticed the water wouldn’t drain. 9 hours later and the issue was still not resolved. 6) We were provided another room, but it was further away from the amenities and had no ocean view. We were offered no compensation even though we paid more for an ocean view room. The staff seem unable to make basic decisions without getting a manager involved, who never even has the courtesy to show their face. Overall this was a poor experience and we will not be returning.

The beautiful views of the ocean. Rooms close enough to listen to the sound of the ocean waves. Relaxing, clean, and peaceful rooms. Feels rural, yet close to shopping, great coffee, and restraunts. People in the area are super friendly.

The location & view are exceptional. The valet & front desk staff were very good. The bath had nice shower doors & vanity mirror but overall the room was very poorly designed & equipped & had poor quality of finishes throughout. Nothing coordinated. ROOM SPECIFIC: no quality of interior design, no refrigerator, curtain over thermostat, lack of good lighting, no chairs other than uncomfortable chairs at small round table, no comfortable chair to lounge & enjoy the view, 1 piece of art in room that was hung 3" from ceiling to avoid fire alarm, low budget & useless electric fireplace that took up too much of the room, too many floor finishes, no pad & pen, no area information booklet, laminate floor looked & felt cheap, inset run under bed did not align with furniture BATH SPECIFIC: no quality of interior design, shower tile layout made no sense & felt cheap, no shelf in shower, no shelf in shower room, no trash can in shower room, no mirror in shower room, bad lighting, bad water pressure, one-ply toilet paper, toilet paper holder in location that injured knees HOUSEKEEPING SPECIFIC: no new hand towels, coffee mugs wiped with cloth instead of changed for new, bed not made properly...only pulled up & tucked at bottom, pillows not fluffed or made nice OVERALL: At a cost of $674 per night plus taxes & fees, this was an expensive 2 night getaway & was not worth the cost. For this price, I would expect much more quality & service from a hotel. Very overrated property!
lack of design in overall room with 1 piece of art at ceiling, huge electric fireplace, no lounge chair, bad finishes
lack of design in bathroom, no shelf in shower, no shelf in bathroom, no trash can, no mirror, bad finishes
lack of design, too many finishes, cheap laminate floor

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..
