Retro style in Carmel

Carmel stay in an retro 1950 style hotel. Quaint, super clean and comfortable with no frills. We enjoyed this trip, and all Carmel has to offer. We parked the car & walked everywhere. Sunset was wonderful. Don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed. Truly we are happy with the nights sleep.

The room was quaint and lovely. Lady at check in was not friendly during our experience. She was overly friendly and chatty with the person ahead of us but very dry and uninterested in engaging with my fiancé and I during check in. Would not come again due to that experience. All guests should be treated equally

I like the set up of the property. The units are like little apartments with different sections. Our unit is quaint and cozy with windows overlooking the courtyard. The fireplace is cute and functional especially on cold days. The courtyard has gardens filled with flower plants and greeneries. There are also tables and chairs for outdoor relaxation. The staff are pleasant. The parking is limited in the property but there are streets parking available.

Enjoyed!

Staff was wonderful, location was great and walkable to beach and restaurants! All rooms have working fireplaces which was cozy! Only con, if you're staying in a downstairs room, the floor above is very creaky and walls are thin. Other than that, great stay!!

Staff was great. But that doesn’t make up for the condition of the rooms. There was no door knob or handle on the door to the room! Not joking; instead there was a belt hook (like in a closet) we used to pull the door shut so we could press the electronic button to lock it. So weird. Screens were missing on 2 of the windows. Then construction started above us before we could check out- it was SO loud. Our dogs went crazy it was so loud. Blown away that they didn’t consider us before the work started. Parking was very limited. At least it was located close to food/shopping.

The Inn’s staff were helpful, kind, and attentive. The rooms were clean and bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Overall our stay was seamless and we enjoyed the fireplace in our room. There’s plenty of street parking around the Inn in case the parking lot is full. Would definitely recommend!
