$528 a night. The room was run down damaged. I don't think it has been painted since 1980. Wall damage from roof leaks. Dirty bathroom. The carpet was gross. The entry door didn't lock correctly. Metal-framed windows are horrible. The upper wood walkways are dry-rotted (painted over). Zero wayfinding signage. The fire sprinklers are ancient. Check-in staff had the personality of a rock. Could have said "Thank you" or been less of a goon. Gone are the old days of the fun Tally Ho and Pine Inn. Now it is just ripping off tourists for lousy accommodations. Shameful. Never again.

My family (2 adults 3 children) stayed last weekend. We booked the suite (two queen beds with sofa bed) at $500 per night. Great accessibility to carmel beach and downtown. But the sofa bed had almost broken mattress. We couldn’t sleep on it so we folded back to sofa and slept. So the suite , while it says sleep up to 6, barely accommodate only 4 people. So if you plan to reserve the suite because you expect 5-6 people sleeping there, don’t ever try it.

Unfortunately, we have to downgrade this place because of the experience we had. Specifically Wen woke up in the morning after our first night, there were hundreds, if not, thousands of ants crawling on the bathroom floor. No doubt they were driven into the room by all the recent rains. When we brought it to the attention of the person at the desk first thing in the morning when they open, they said all they could do was spray. Of course, we did not want to stay another night in a room that had just been sprayed for ants. While the first staff person was perfectly nice, there was no apology and no offer for any other form of compensation such as a reduced rate for a $500 a night room, or use of another room for a second night as they did not look fully booked. So we chose to leave and not use our second night. There are many nice things about this place, but we feel they should've offered to reduce the price of the room or some form of compensation for our experience.
