Staff was friendly and accommodating. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Building is older but it is very nicely kept. Breakfast was plentiful and on par with many chain hotel breakfasts. The rooms do not have AC or fans. At night it would have been lovely to have the balcony door open for fresh air but it lacked a screen and bugs were coming in. The second part of the property is up a very steep hill. This makes the walkability a lot more difficult for someone with knee or hip problems. The lower rooms do not have that issue.

We've stayed here a couple of times, and it's a solid choice though nothing exceptional. Hotels in Carmel are expensive because it's a major tourist destination; don't think that paying $250/night or $300 for a view room will get you luxury accommodations. Location is top notch. The views are fantastic as the hotel is on the northeast and highest part of town. There's easy access (3-minute walk) into town. Rooms are comfortable and spacious and have both indoor in outdoor seating. It's amazing to watch the sun set from your balcony if the weather cooperates. If you're in town on Thursday, the farmer's market is 2 minutes away. A few downsides. Breakfast is provided, though it's rather simple -- bagels, pastries, a couple cereal options, juice, coffee and tea. They offered the same scrambled eggs and sausages all three days we were there, a nice upgrade but would be nice to have some variety or a self serve waffle station. I've seen better breakfast buffets in very modest 2-3 star hotels. They have coffee and tea available in the lobby 24 hours/day which is a nice touch but not cold water or water bottles to take with you around town. Years after the pandemic, they don't provide daily housekeeping unless you request it. These are all minor, and we'd stay there again, but they keep the property from being 5*.

Great value for the money; cleanest stay

This inn was the cleanest place I've ever stayed (including 5 star hotels I've stayed at). The staff clean everything - even places you wouldn't expect. My stay was with my family (husband and son). As described, the hotel provided a mini crib for my son. The Continental breakfast was fine and okay for a quick bite. The beds were mostly comfortable, but more on the soft side. The staff was very friendly and helpful - I appreciated how kind everyone was. Parking spots are a tight squeeze, so parking well in between the lines is critical and get ready to tuck in your mirrors. The location is really great - very central to shops, restaurants, and a 15 min walk to Carmel Beach.
