    The room has very short ceilings specifically near the bed so be careful. The bathroom and short stairway is extremely narrow. Our room’s door opened right to the dumpsters and we were ran into a huge raccoon on our first night.

    The property is cute and charming. The location was perfect and we pretty much walked to everything. The staff was helpful and friendly. :)

    Our room was kind of hot which isn’t typical of Carmel, but we were there in August. The sun beat down thru our front window. We were in Knotty Pine. As with many Carmel accommodations, this property is older. The grounds have many uneven pavers and it was a big step up to our room. Just be aware. With that said the room was very cute and well maintained.

    Charming. Nicely located.

    Disappointed in the inn having to cut back on a hot (delicious) breakfast; pastries instead.

    Able to leave my car at the inn parking and walk everywhere!

    The coffee was good, but the breakfast pastries were not available until later in the morning. We needed to get on the road, so we ended up finding a good local coffee house instead.

    The room was clean and comfortable for our family. We enjoyed the two room Willow suite. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    The weekend staff and coffee/muffins were very welcoming and fresh. Would have loved a bit earlier access though. The weekday staff was late getting the area for coffee open and not as welcoming. The muffins were cold and not as fresh.

    The bed was too soft but ok. They need more variety of the muffins in the morning. I know they don't supply breakfast, just coffee and muffins but only 1 kind.

    Nice quiet location and cute room. Only a block away from the main street and the beach. Not too expensive for Carmel.

    No breakfast. Reviews had breakfast mentioned so we assumed they still served breakfast. They don’t. When we arrived we were given a room with one bed for 4 people but they were able to quickly switch us out. Not very forthcoming with amenities.

    Lots of outdoor seating. Very clean and well taken care of. Nice lobby to hang out in.
