The room was very clean & spacious. The area was quiet & within a half mile walk to downtown. The staff was also quite friendly. No pool but if thats not an issue, is a great cottage type atmosphere to spend the night. Thanks Carmel Resort Inn.

A very cozy, enjoyable, recently renovated bungalow. But due to remodeling in process, the grounds were a bit disheveled. Still, the staff were helpful and cheerful. A great change of pace from your typical hotel/motel experience.

The place was cute bur the outside needs a little touch up. The bathroom is supee small and the roiler paper holder was falling off the wall. I wish there was a small table to eat at, but other than that it was cozy.
