There was no breakfast and coffee wasn't good either. The rooms are very small and mattress was very soft - uncomfortable.

Pleasant Stay & Beautiful Sunset

Very comfortable bed, room was clean, and property was quiet. Check-in was easy, and they even had complimentary baked goods & coffee! Front desk clerk was super helpful, and walked us to our room, which she graciously changed at check-in for a larger bed.

Disappointment

Not great. Quite disappointed. We asked about our room being available at 11:30 am. We know it’s not guaranteed but the guy in the phone didn’t know and fumbled his words for 10 min until he said they were working on it and “it should be ready in 30 min.” It wasn’t ready when until 3:30 pm. The girl behind the desk wasn’t dressed very professionally, when we got to the room it was cold and the only thing in the room was an outdated wall heater that goes on and off every 30 min. The bathroom was freezing cold, the ice machine was out of order, and the gentleman behind the desk didn’t know much about the hotel and what was available. It was not a very good experience.

An Easy Choice

Staying at the Green Lantern was easy and comfortable. The parking in the front and on the side street were just steps away from our room. Plenty of windows and natural light in the Pine Room. Three different locks on the door gave me peace of mind since the door was close to the street. The hotel is quaint, you aren’t getting a resort experience or top tier accommodations, but we were completely satisfied with our room for our short stay!

Friendly and attentive staffs. They only offer coffee, no breakfast. You will have to walk out of your room to use the microwave. They have a very cute outdoor patio which I enjoyed so much for the little fresh air in the morning. It’s a convenient location that is just only a few minutes driving from Carmel downtown. My room was pretty small, lights are dim. Parking is limited space but you can park on the street. Other than that, I have a good time here.

Hotel is quaint and lovely. Short walk to the heart of Carmel, with good restaurants and beautiful shops. Fun to just walk around, and the beach is just a few blocks from the hotel.

The location is excellent. We had to upgrade our room at additional cost to have sufficient space for just the two of us. The upgrade was cheerfully done. There was no safe and no coffee in the room. Also, the windows do not lock. All other aspects of Green Lantern were fine. We did have to deal with an unexpected water line break that temporarily made the water unusable. We don’t know the source of the problem, but the water turned brown, and we were not offered bottled water. Overall and given the price of our room, we felt that we received only average value.
