The property is really cute and the location is excellent! It is within walking distance of Ocean Avenue where there’s lots of shopping and a variety of restaurants. Be aware it is an old inn so it does not have air conditioning and the wall heater in the bedroom will not heat the bathroom. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The only thing is i reserved the Hideaway room and i didn't get that room when i got there. The room was nice that we received and had a nice view. First time staying here i would still recommend staying here. Parking can be a challenge though.

Quiet oasis, very stylish. Not like a hotel - little scattered cottages. Note heater is small and cooling is ceiling fans. If very cold or very hot, not sure if it’s enough for perfect comfort. Very nice bed. Photos didn’t show a microwave but there was one, as well as fridge, in the room. Excellent spot for a rest. Carmel much more peaceful than Monterey.
