We stayed in room 542. The room has a mildew smell, probably due to the damp nature of the positon of the room on the property. However, the management should provide some diffusers in the room to mask the mildew smell if they cannot solve the root cause of the issue. It is like sleeping with a waterlogged piece of driftwood with mushrooms. The room is nice other than that unpleasant feature.

The only reason I stayed on property was for the "world class unobstructed ocean views" I paid extra for that. When I got there, I got a lower level room with view of a tree. I requested another room- to no avail. There was a storm the second day of our stay. When we checked out, I mentioned our room had flooded from the rain. I was thanked for letting them know. I stayed at two different Hyatt hotels in San Francisco- Fishermans Wharf and 5 Embarcardaro. Both were wonderful. Guess I'll stay there in the future.

Still a nice place but it’s getting old and out dated. Construction around the pool which was closed was on going noise, not really loud but was noticeable. Overall still a nice place to stay. Restaurant was also nice with a great view, food was delicious but limited selections.

Great stay. Spectacular view of Highlands from our balcony. Dining options reduced during stay (restaurant closed certain days…). Quiet and away from Carmel town centre amenities (shopping,dining). Point Lobos hiking nearby was incredible with some beautiful vistas.

Beautiful view, unhelpful staff,not worth the pric
Amazing view but most stuff entirely unhelpful. Not worth the price. Upon check in, although already paid for, made me go get my physical drivers license although electronic version was provided. They told me the physical ID would provide information that the electronic version did not provide. Two identical copies. This was after waiting forever to check in. Then failed to tell me that there was a short little pathway to my room. Instead, we drove all the way around and had to go down countless flights of stairs to get to our room. It was then an issue to get assistance with the luggage. I had to call four times just to order breakfast. Mind you, I was attempting to order as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. Overall, very frustrating with the staff, but again, beautiful view. Definitely would not say thought that the view is worth the hassle and price.
