The location was great, the room itself was good but the bed was very uncomfortable. The walkway leading to the room looked dirty.

Average hotel
Hotel was very nice but didn’t give 5 stars because check in is at 3 and we got there at 3:45 and the employee just kept saying you’ll have to come back after 3 because your room isn’t ready. When I questioned the time another employee said it’s because I booked last minute. Weird. Also don’t expect breakfast- it basically yogurt bananas or tiny muffins. Besides those two things the room was really nice, comfy beds and very clean. The hotel is in a great location to walk town. Also the am employees were very nice.

Quaint yet expensive
Our stay was great. We love Carmel. The room was good, it was clean. The woman at check-in was lovely.
Overall, it was really expensive at $500 for one night. It wasn't worth that amount of money. The 'breakfast' is not great, pre packaged hard boiled eggs... some whole fruit, cheap pastries.
I've walked by this hotel for years, and have always thought it looked quaint. It is.
It was quite, which I was concerned about because our cabin was on the main street. But it was okay at night.

Room 302 was our first room. It overlooks the street. We enjoyed the breeze that would come through the window.
Things that I would change. The lighting in the bathroom by the mirror could be better. It would be nice if you had soft closed toilet seats. It would be nice if you had open top garbage cans in the bathroom. The small closed top garbage can are hard to access. Beyond that it was quite an enjoyable stay.

It’s an older property in a fabulous location. We had a fireplace room that would benefit from some attention from an interior decorator. It was very noisy in the morning. The main positive point is its location…. Right in the heart of Carmel, an easy walk to restaurants, stores and the beach.

We had a lovely stay and will be returning. The inn is beautiful Henry constock design and well maintained. Breakfast was also a great addition, staff was incredibly kind. There is street parking and about 8 reserved spots in a lot for guests. The location is wonderful, few blocks from the beach and within the main shopping/restaurant part of Carmel. Once you park, you can walk for the remainder of your trip.

For the price we paid - the hotel is in need of a major renovation - there are no amenities. Period - parking is limited and not guaranteed. The “free breakfast” is cold packaged cereal, cheese you can get at any 7/11 and danish and coffees. The shampoos and soaps are generic - not a luxury brand (bring your own). The only good thing is the location - otherwise we will not stay there again.

Wonderful place -
Very charming place to stay. Comfortable, clean & great location. Breakfast is pretty basic, but fine.
The only negative is that if you check out one minute after 11:00am, you are charged $75.00 for every fifteen minutes you are still there!! That was kind of a turn off.
