"Clean room, and very nice property. There was no parking available in the small parking lot, and parking on the street was limited. We had to park a block away from the Inn. Also, the office closes at 3pm. It would have been nice to be greeted by someone when we got there."

"We were placed in the Laurel room. Super cute, but the day /night we stayed there was a heat wave and the room does not have AC. There were plenty of fans, but being upstairs in a cozy room made it quite uncomfortable. Weather unfortunately cannot be controlled. No fault to the inn, just bad timing. Otherwise it was a close walk to the Carmel plaza and to the beach!! I would definitely stay there again. Location was perfect!! Their staff, especially Omede was very friendly and helpful."

"Great boutique hotel in Carmel. Close to the main areas in Carmel. Great customer service. Lovely comfortable rooms while not huge are beautiful furnished. Great free extras provided from early morning coffee, a delicious buffet breakfast with egg station, afternoon wine and not forgetting the wonderful chocolate chip cookies in the evening. A real treat."
