Not all rooms come with parking. Rooms with parking say so, when you are booking, so keep an eye out if that is a non starter. All parking in the immediate area is 2 hours during the day. It can be quite the walk to the car. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay and would do it again.

Beautiful setting, quaint room. Front desk gave no info on free street parking available, so had to move car every 2 hours. No mention of shared balcony. Requested no maid service for privacy sake and front desk woman was rude to me in front of another guest when asked where I could deposit the trash.

Briarwood Inn is a great option to stay when visiting Carmel. It is close to the city center (you can do several activities on foot), and the rooms are large and comfortable. The only thing I would say needs improvement is the internet (very slow). I recommend this place to anyone looking for good accommodation options to enjoy a great trip to Carmel.

Our price for one room with one queen and a twin bed was $250 and compared to other rates in that area it was a decent experience, nothing fancy but cute and cozy.
