There’s a a lot to love about this place. Fantastic location, easy to walk into town and enjoy Carmel. Staff was great. Very clean inside and out. Rooms have been updated nicely. Loved that there’s a fireplace. The not so nice is that we had some very loud neighbors so didn’t sleep well. But that’s not necessarily property’s fault, and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast, so so. Overall, book it. You will not be disappointed.

You have to love a hotel that doesn’t make you pay for parking and lets you have your own designated spot. They even offer free breakfast!!! I really enjoyed this place. It’s clean, the staff is great, and I love how affordable it is. I mean seriously what is wrong with hotels these days charging a month’s rent for two nights? If you’re planning a trip to Carmel and want a comfortable place to stay without breaking the bank this is the place for you.

The room was great. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The staff was wonderful. The breakfast was also very good. My only complaint would be that they didn't offer water upon arrival. I've stayed at a few other Inn's in Carmel that had a water station in the lobby. Which is very nice to have available upon arrival after a long drive in.

Very clean, fireplace in room, comfortable bed and linens, nice included breakfast, and the location is fantastic with easy walking distance to beach, coffee, restaurants and shops. Right next door is a convenient market and deli as well as a wine shop with many local wines. Great off season prices!

Room was clean and nice. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a bummer. Warmer for scrambled eggs and bacon/sausage didn’t keep it warm. 2 mornings the yogurt was completely gone as were the pastries before they were refilled and the gal seemed annoyed that we asked if there was anymore
