"The hotel felt a little older, but was excellently maintained. The staff was outstanding and focused on the guests’ positive experience. We utilized the pool, hot tub, bar including food. We were only here for one night, but would definitely stay again."

The Quail

The Quail

8/10 Good
"The Quail is a very nice hotel, but unless you're into golf, there's not much to see or do there. Carmel is about 15 minutes away by car, but if you just want to step outside the hotel and walk to nearby stores or attractions, there aren't any. The facilities and housekeeping were excellent - our only complaint is that the toilet was incredibly low-height - potentially a problem for people with creaky knees."
