10/10 Excellent
"I have been here 10 years before, but only for a one-night-stay, cause I was on a trip to another city. Really impressive by the environment and design of the room, especially the atmosphere in the lodge. This time, I came with my partner, everything was as perfect as before, the front desk was helpful all the time, nice and friendly, explained everything to you clearly. I will come back in the future, and definitely recommend to people who want to have a cozy and relax vocation in Carmel."
