Carmel Green Lantern Inn is a beautiful, fairytale-like place with so much charm and character. The location is excellent and close to many attractions, including the entrance to 17-Mile Drive, downtown Carmel, shops, restaurants, and the beach. The rooms were clean, and the entire property and surrounding grounds were very well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The only thing that would have made the experience even better would be having breakfast available at the inn and also more parking space. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would gladly recommend it to anyone visiting Carmel-by-the-Sea.
