Our room was comfortable enough but difficult to regulate heat via floor radiator and old thermostat in the bathroom. Bathroom is in need of updating all around. This room is noisy in the mornings which we were told about ahead of time so if you’re up by 7-7:30 am, no problem.

Comfort for couple and dogs near Ocean Avenue

We had two criteria for our Carmel accommodations. Walking distance to the attractions of Ocean Avenue and acceptance for our two French Bulldogs. Country Inn scored great on both. We like the quaint inn, but the updated decor made it worth the price. Very personal and friendly service. Simple but nice breakfast and day-long snacks.
