Great Inn in the heart of Carmel. We opted for a king room with ocean view and it was worth it. We enjoyed the patio as well as the fireplace in the room. Walking distance to the village and to the beach. A bonus is being next door to Bruno’s! Great stay and would definitely come back. Staff were great and made check in so easy!

Great location, good hotel but disappointing break

Room was lovely and we had a great balcony, with views over the bay. The bed was very comfy and the shower was very good. The hotel is located very centrally, close to restaurants and shops. Carmel is not cheap! But tge hotel was very reasonable. Brealfast was included in the deal but it was very basic - paper plates and plastic cutlery. For me - that was the only thing that let this hotel down. Otherwise it was a great place to stay.

Great location, free parking. Very clean and fire place makes it cozy in the room. I gave 4 stars because it is a little noisy for light sleepers and showers were very loud. Would stay again.

Our room was clean, nice location where all the shops and restaurants in walking distance. Nice view of the ocean from our deck. Only thing I would change is the breakfast could be better. The eggs were sitting in water, not appetizing to eat, staff should come out and stir eggs more often. The pastries should be refilled when low of it. We were there around 8:30 only 2-3 pastry. This happened 2 of the 3 mornings we were there. Overall, good place to stay.

Parking was easy and secure. Shops and restaurants a few steps away. A spacious and comfortable breakfast room with an excellent breakfast. We come to Carmel every 3-5 years. This was our very favorite place.

Our stay was in early fall so we didn't get to use the pool. Check in was easy. The parking spots are a little tight making it a tad difficult if you have a lot to unpack. Room was a great size and the bed was comfy. The window in the bathroom is frosted but it's facing the parking lot so you can see people walking by which was a little weird. Overall, a great place to stay and at a nice location for walking around the city.
