This property was in a great location, walkable to many shops and restaurants. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the property was very clean. Our only disappointment was that the bed was not comfortable and the small square, flat pillows need to be replaced with regular size pillows. Very uncomfortable.

Great location and staff. The continental breakfast in the picnic basket was a cute touch in the mornings. Rooms need to be updated as they are a little dated / musty.

Perfect spot — walkable, close to restaurants, clean, well-appointed room with a great bed, super-nice folks at the counter. Great stay. Would definitely do it again when I’m back with family.

This property far surpassed my expectations. I actually had a horrible incident passing out and having to get 4 stitches, which should have in theory ruined our trip to Carmel, but this Inn was PERFECT for relaxing in this quaint town. They delivered a picnic breakfast to our door every morning AND provided a free happy hour with snacks and wine to enjoy while sitting out by the fire pits or in the jacuzzi. The staff was amazing and very attentive to our needs. & we enjoyed having free Kuerig coffee in our room daily! If there are rooms available, definitely book!!

The continental breakfast was delivered to your room. This is an innovative way to manage breakfast rather than going to a breakfast room.
