We really enjoyed our stay. Very clean and roomy. Staff was nice. Walked us to our room instead of just pointing and handling a map. Same thing with ice. She walked with me to point it out. Conveniently located.

Absolutely loved staying here, it’s adorable old inn in an amazing location. All that Carmel has to offer is within a short walk, and the property itself is quite charming. If you’re okay with the quirks (short ceilings) of a small and historical home, then you’ll love it here just like we did!
