Staff was excellent, friendly and helpful. Grounds were very nice and close to everything. The steps from the door to the bed were steep and narrow. I’m older and have bad knees. I wish this would have been told to us we would have requested a different room.

The hotel was so cute and quaint, and we absolutely loved the Maple room! Very private and cozy... Agustina who helped get us settled was just a lovely gal, and super helpful with all the little details; we really enjoyed chatting with her! Think next time we are in that area for the night, we'd most likely just opt to stay there again, and would even book the same room! Dinner Saturday evening on the patio at Anton and Michel was also wonderful, we'd highly recommend both spots while in Carmel!

We wanted to love this Inn and it was lovely in many ways. The ceilings in our room were so low and just wish we had gotten a heads up, my husband hit his head hard on the ceiling! The room was also not very clean. The bed was comfortable and had all the great amenities. The area is cute! Overall, an okay stay but wanted so much more!

Unique property. Enjoyed the suite with the loft. Our daughter was excited to get her own space. Parking in Carmel is challenging in general but we had no issue getting a space right outside of our cottage with a bit of patience. The "breakfast" was lacking with only coffee/tea and a croissant. Coffee was of good quality but lacked otherwise. Grounds nicely done to complete the cottage feel.

The Green Lantern Inn is a wonderful place to stay. For the price point, the location is unbeatable—within walking distance to both the beach and the heart of Carmel. The property is quiet and peaceful. We especially enjoyed the cozy fireplace in our room. The staff and manager were excellent. We hope to return next year!
