L'Auberge Carmel, Relais & Chateaux

＃Carmel小鎮上的民宿推薦＃ 落腳Camel小鎮的L'Auberge 滿滿的美式鄉村風格既視感 這是一座95年歷史的老房子改造的 所有的傢俱都是年代感滿滿 有種小時候住閣樓的氛圍 早餐也是很多homemade的東東 衹不過價格不菲的民宿沒有空調！！！ 在突然暴熱的北加夜晚衹能吹風扇[捂臉]

Everything was spectacular. From the little gold key, to the complimentary valet parking, to the nespresso machine and sparkling water in the room, to the heated bathroom floor tiles, to the fluffy cloud bed, to the little windows that open letting the sea scented air inside, to the generous toiletries that left my hair soft AND clean feeling, to the room service and the little blue phone to call for anything you need, to the perfectly portioned daily breakfast so you leave neither famished or uncomfortably stuffed including a wellness shot and unique options such as chia seed pudding and mushroom toast (*which may not sound appealing, but trust me, try it.) To the gorgeous setting right in the thick of things. It was everything I hoped for and more.... the service and staff was five star.*****

Expected more There was a long narrow flight of stairs to my nicely furnished room. My complaint is with the vanity area of the bathroom. It made it very difficult to get ready. A 5 star hotel with the cheapest hairdryer they could find? It was a $12.99 Conair (I checked Conair’s website). Besides that, it was hard to put makeup on as the lighting was dim and you couldn’t get close to the mirror. I’d suggest putting up a magnified, lighted swing arm mirror and invest in a better quality hairdryer.
