Location is fantastic, right in central Carmel near Ocean Ave with all the shops and restaurants. There is a grocery/liquor store next door which was very convenient. It was definitely a bit of a rundown hotel compared to the other places in Carmel and yet was rather pricey (granted we were there for a holiday weekend), but we enjoyed our time there as we didn't spend much time in the room. The water pressure and temperature in the shower was fantastic. Everything else was meh.

The "breakfast" was a bit of a joke. Staff were helpful, and the hotel was quiet though.

Great location - able to walk to all things downtown and to the beach. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Looks like they were recently re-modeled on the inside.

No air conditioning. No black out curtains.

The setting is charming and the location perfect. The walls are very thin so it was fairly noisy and a little hard to sleep. We appreciated the free breakfast which was very good. We loved not having to drive to town as parking was so hard

We went to go to the front desk on our way back from dinner and the man behind the door was screaming and swearing and throwing things. A little scary. We bypassed the front desk and went to our room and locked the door.

the front desk staff were unfriendly and rude

Location was great, parking was easier then I thought. Staff was friendly. Food was ok. Price was high due to season. Room was clean, shower was great. We were going to a wedding so had to pay the high prices. $750 for 2 nights, tiny room, no AC, but windows could open.

No AC. Tiny room. High price due to seasonal time of year.

Great location, it seems the rooms were recently renovated and are in overall good condition. The breakfast was decent. The patio is nice with plants and flowers and has some outside sitting options.

Overall, the value-for-money is not high. Yes, it’s a good location and well maintained, but it’s a motel for a price of a hotel. The service we got at reception was not very pleasant, and it seemed they were tired of having guests.

room rather small......................breakfast excellent....... location good....mgr was excellent,,,,,,,,,room had apparently been redone---excellent. Room very clean. Location was good. Good breakfast

parking difficult...................although I was able to park near facility..........................room charge for second nite was ridiculous.

The rooms were renovated, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is not very diversified (no eggs, cheese, cold meets, ...) but has the essential coffee, some pastries, cereals and a waffle machine :) The location is central to most shops and restaurants even though a bit further from the beach, however walkable. Considering it is Carmel by the Sea the price we had was excellent considering the quality of the Inn.

The breakfast room is relatively small and when with more that 5 or 6 guests it becomes difficult to walk around.

Location was within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Breakfast was great! Perfect location for surrounding tourist sights. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.

Noise coming from grocery story delivery trucks at 5 in the morning. When window was closed could barely hear.

The room was comfortable and clean. Great bed. Complimentary breakfast was a bonus. The grounds - lot of flowering plants and multi-leveled decking - provided a garden setting. The location was exceptional; only one block from Carmel's numerous upmarket shops and restaurants.
