Wow, what a wonderful stay!

We were in town for just one day, so we were honestly a bit hesitant to book something that seemed so nice. I’m glad we did! Staff are very hospitable, and the room was gorgeous! It has a beautiful classic feel with all the comforts of modern amenities. We would definitely stay again!

Tranquil European Elegance

This place is a treasure! We felt like we stepped back in time and stayed in France. We stayed in the room called “Paris.” There’s a French door out our room that led to a tranquil, spacious patio which lured you out by the trickle of a fountain. Sagar gave us first rate service and was a delight to speak with. We walked down the hill to have an early dinner and upon arrival to our room, we were greeted with a lovely tray of cheese, crackers, fruit, and drink. We are back in the area next week and will stay here again!

The TV was not setup and the staff leaves at 8 PM
The coffee maker did not function properly.
The bed was too high for short people
The hotel did ot provide a detailed receipt
I left a $200.00 security deposit and it is not addressed in the Expedia receipt.
Staff were not available to order breakfast!
Expedia confirmed my booking BUT it did not include the quoted rate.
Plus a $50.00 Property Fee for what - terrible parking!
I will never use this hotel or Expedia again!
No staff were available for a 9:30 AM check-out.

The main downside of this was the comfort of the bed. For an inn of this caliber, the bed was very hard, and the linens were rough, and no variation in pillow size so somebody like me who prefers a small thin pillow, have no option. Otherwise, charming setting in great location, and absolutely wonderful soaking tub in the bathroom.

I would stay away at all costs. This place has bed bugs and they refuse to admit it. I called the front desk after being bit multiple times up my arms and no one answered. Called again an hour later and again no response. I packed and left at 4:00am. Didn’t get a response until 9:30 only to be told they have no bed bugs and asked to send them pictures only to be told it was my fault and that I brought them and they refused to compensate in any way.. The audacity of the management staff. I will never be back again. Poor management and customer service.

It’s gone downhill over the years and doesn’t have the same charm as before or value for what you pay for the rooms.
It went from Port and Truffles, to chips and cookies, to nothing being left in the common area after our latest stay.
We used to look forward to the breakfasts but ours was a half hour late and it’s the first time I’ve had to use a knife to cut up a Eggs Benedict because the English muffin was way overdone.
We also weren’t a fan of the external camera outside with a view of the patio area around the hot tub. It just felt really creepy like you were likely being watched or recorded.
We used to be created warmly by Sagar when we arrived but the lady on duty was just matter of fact about things and not particularly helpful on the parking situation.
We will most likely go back to Carmel as we stayed there earlier and had a better experience.

Overall Good but could be Better

Went to take shower at night only to find hair and body wash container in bath/shower empty. In Valencia Room almost killed myself getting into the tub/shower, literally access not easy and unorthodox. They don't have someone onsite late to provide essentials. Food they provided for 4pm front Dining Room snacks and breakfast in morning was meh. They use to have impressive spread and quality of food.

This place is absolutely amazing. We stayed in the Paris room and there wasnt a detail that didnt go unoticed. The complimentary bfast was delicious and not cheap looking like most establishments offer as \"complimentary\". The historical context just adds to the experience of your stay and has the historial nastaligia feel. The staff is very nice and accomaodating. I had the opportunity to meet the owner and you can tell that he cares about the experience his guests. Another amazing piece of this place is its just a stones throw away from capitola village where you have access to great food, shops, and entertainment, not to mention spectacular views. So if you want a relaxing experience with great service and relaxation then come stay here you wont regret it.

This was our second time staying here. The place is quiet and very nice and clean. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was really good and served to our room.
Only complaint was that the body wash/shampoo dispenser was completely empty, which I found out after I was already in the shower and wet, so I had to get out to get my own. It's easy to check the levels, so this obviously hadn't been checked in days, which should never happen. I reported it so that they could address the issue and they handled it well.

Very Disappointing! Dirty Room & Bed, Mgmt absent

Disappointment!!! Hotel room was Not clean. Management did Not even respond or acknowledge the health and safety issue we discussed with Peggy.
We found multiple hairs in our bed of different colors from different people (5-10 long hairs). Sheets also had stains. We did not feel safe sleeping in the bed. We had to sleep on top of the bed fully clothed… So much for a Romantic Getaway!? The area around the TV wreaks of dust and neglect. I don’t believe that area has been cleaned in 10+ years. The odor of dust nearly bites you every-time you walk across the room. The outdoor soaking hottub was broken. They messed up our breakfast order and so I couldn’t even eat breakfast. No acknowledgment or even simple apology from management regarding these concerns. I never write reviews but felt obligated to share and be heard.
When you are a 4 star hotel / B&B and charge $300+ a night, guests have expectations, the least of which are a safe and clean room. The staff and other couples were nice and friendly. But the hotel management itself is aloof and not attentive to cleanliness or the details. 😢

We got the best, or at least most expensive, room on this, our fourth visit to the Inn. It was a very nice, very clean room, but there were several glitches. Couldn't get the TV to work, couldn't get the electric fireplace to shut off, and couldn't get the doors to the patio to stay closed. Little things, but annoying when paying the top price. And then, of course, there is no staff after 6:00 or so to provide assistance with the little things.

Lovely but they should remember the little things!

Lovely place. This was our second trip to the Inn and likely not our last. Our only disappointment was a bit of a downgrade in the simple amenities like the snacks, products in the room (like coffee, shampoo etc), and wine served at wine hour. Fresh flowers in the room were missing and port no longer being served in the evenings. It's the little things that could use a bit of refresh to keep this place as charming as ever.

A perfect retreat.

We could only enjoy our stay for one night, but what a great night it was! Sagar was so helpful in getting us checked in, and he set the room up beautifully so that we immediately felt pampered and taken care of when we walked in.

Bottled water was available in the room, and snacks & tea were in the public area. The fireplace was lit and music set the tone.

We got this room because we're two friends traveling, and each wanted our own bed. I'm the shorter of the two, so I took the smaller bed. We couldn't tell by the pictures, but it had its own loft area that felt totally private.

I especially loved that I could pull the curtains on the bed; they acted like blackout curtains. It's a great space for a shorter person.

There is a Thai place just down the street where we had dinner and I can't recommend it enough. It's clearly a small business with only a few people working but the food was delicious and it's easily walkable from the hotel.

But the BEST part was the breakfast the next morning. Wow! Fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil scramble, with croissant, fresh fruit, juice, and coffee. All of it is delivered right to your door.

I can not say enough good things about our stay.

Overall our stay was fine, except for a couple of minor issues. All onsite parking was taken when we got back from dinner, so we had to park on the street. The only heat in the room was the fireplace (portable heater was useless), and we had to get a new lighter to light the gas since the one in the room was broken. Breakfast was decent, but limited to what they served, which didn't provide much variety.
