Absolutely loved staying here, it’s adorable old inn in an amazing location. All that Carmel has to offer is within a short walk, and the property itself is quite charming. If you’re okay with the quirks (short ceilings) of a small and historical home, then you’ll love it here just like we did!

Liked: Cleanliness
While we liked our accommodation and the location was great, there was a lot of noise which made it difficult to sleep. Since the room had shared walls/floors we were awake from 5:30am in the morning from the heavy footsteps above our room, to the noise from next door at around 7am. The inn is also an older property; walls were thin and the floors were creaky. We would also have liked an electric kettle in the room, although the dining space was nice and had refreshments throughout the morning.

Easily walkable to everything Carmel has to offer. Parking can be hit or miss but we were lucky. Rooms were comfortable. There was work going on around our room to improve the garden but it didn't disturb us in any way.

The hotel reviews on their website are too old. The hotel no longer serves a breakfast. It would have been helpful to know that there was no coffee in the room and no breakfast.

The room was easy to find, clean and the staff were friendly. I loved how we had an ocean view and even though we weren’t directly on the shore, we could still hear the ocean. I like how bright and welcoming the room was. The staff were also kind.
