great location, a little dated

Cypress Inn offers great location, and it is so fun to see all the dogs with their humans. Love the living room fireplace. Rooms are a little small (expected for 1920's property) but bathrooms could use some updating.

The staff were most helpful with all questions and needs. we originally intended to bring our pet, but did not. Most people with their pets were very considerate of those around them. The food was excellent, the rooms comfortable and nicely appointed. We will definitely stay again when in Carmel.

I think this property needs some work on its appearance. You need to educate yourself on the rooms. there is a clear difference in noise level, access for the dogs (which are MANY), access to lobby, etc. I could hear every whisper and word from the adjacent first floor room to the extent that I left my first room and went to the lobby for quiet. Next day they forgot to tell me they were removing and installing carpeting in the adjacent room. overall a weird hotel experience and was looking for a quiet few days in Carmel. great location however

Great for Humans and Dogs

We've had lunch and drinks here before, but always wanted to stay because they're dog friendly - so we brought our dog! The whole staff is friendly and accommodating, it was a great trip.

A Real Jewel

Charming boutique hotel in a great location. Iconic bar with well made cocktails by Mary, who has been bartending for 28 years at the Terri's Lounge in the Hotel. Cozy fireplace room with plenty of seating for reading and having a cocktail or coffee. Pet friendly and you just might make a little furry friend. Very comfortable rooms. No air conditioning and a little noisy on the first floor rooms. Paid hotel parking or on Street parking. Did I mention a great location?❤️

Love that Cypress Inn is dog friendly. Staff were very nice. I needed a refrigerator for the room because I make my dog's food. They were also very nice about heating it up for me in the bar. I think the rooms need to be updated considering the cost of a standard room but they were very clean. My only issue was the complimentary breakfast. If you have a dog, you are not able to easily access the food which is behind the bar. No dogs are allowed. I had to ask people to watch/hold my dog so I could go back and get the food.

Needs to upgrade rooms

Very uncomfortable beds and rooms space very tight, and on the top of that very noisy, they need to sound proof the rooms, parking space also a big issue basically street parking only very hard to find a space. The Restaurant, housekeeping and location excellent. Costumer service is ok.

Worth the Stay

The Cypress Inn has so much charm and was such a wonderful stay with my daughter. The staff were very friendly and we also had a nice conversation with some of the locals. The dog friendliness of the hotel was a great experience even though we didn't have a dog. The breakfast provided was wonderful. We can't wait to go again.

Quaint hotel within a short walk to restaurants an

Cozy hotel in the middle of Carmel. Great ambiance. The bar is very nice and the food is good . The rooms are a bit dated and could use a face lift, but the best of Carmel is not in the room anyway and the beds are comfortable to sleep in .
