Great Location; Awesome Deal

We checked in after the front desk closed but staff made it easy for us to find and get into our room. Clear instructions on how to operate the equipment inside the room. Wifi is weak. Check out is easy. Location is GREAT!

Terrific location, but the inn and rooms can use an upgrade. Parking in the area was scarce and we had to wait for the night clerk to leave so we could use his parking spot. Also, the floors were dirty and there was actually sand in both of the queen beds! We had to brush off both of them. Weird!

Very nice place. Easy access to Ocean Ave and everywhere else. The host is very friendly as well. I got the executive suites with adjacent rooms and my boys loved the main room and the queen size bed. Will definitely choose this place again next time in Carmel. Jon

This was a cute little place to stay, centrally located, and phenomenal customer service. The parking was limited when we arrived on a Saturday evening. Aside from that, we enjoyed our stay.

Staying here was the best decision we’ve made for a vacation. The price was amazing and the location was perfect. It was very walkable from downtown Carmel and the beach. It was mostly quiet (except early morning traffic which was easily taken care of with the windows closed). The bed was so comfortable and everything was well stocked/clean. Can’t wait to stay again!

Great stay in Carmel

Very comfortable for our family of 4. The location was great, walkable to everything in town. The service was neither good nor bad…there was no service at all as the office closed before we arrived and it was self-check-in. There are 7 parking spots for the whole place (maybe 20 rooms) so don’t count on it. But for the price it was totally worth it and I would choose it again!

The room was spacious, featuring a comfortable king-size bed. The fireplace was a plus and easy to use. The Wi-Fi was a little sketchy at times, but I could still connect to my cell phone. Coffee in the common area would have been a plus. Overall, very nice with an excellent location and parking.
