Overall, a very nice place to stay, centrally located which allows you to walk everywhere. Only downside, the mattress in our room was very hard and the linens were rough.

Typical not expensive Carmel hotel. Area when most hotels are located, close to good restaurants. Small room. Very thin walls, you hear everything in neighbor rooms and outside as if they are walking in your room. Not very convenient mattress. Microwave and kitchen utensils inthe room, but strangely no bottle opener. Some websites say they have breakfast; pictures in sites including this one show breakfast served. Not true; they do not provide breakfast.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025

8/10

Charming but very expensive the weekend we were there. Parking was extra and very difficult. Rooms were spacious but a bit dusty and dressing area off Tub and Toilet area was carpet which we did not like. Worst part were the Expedia terms which pretty much required a cancellation insurance extra charge and unacceptable cancellation policy. Would never use Expedia again

Super cute and cozy Inn for Carmel. My boyfriend and I stayed for a weekend trip and location was key for us. So many good restaurants and shops one block away and to top it all off was pebble beach that was about a 10 minute walk. We will be back!
Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025

8/10

Cozy and comfortable and conveniently located. Parking right in front and all of downtown Carmel is nearby. What's not to like? Oh, the bathtub was kinda small, OK for a shower, but not appealing for a bath, but...that's minor.
Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025

8/10

The room was nice with a little kitchenette equipped with utensils, which we used to make breakfast. Was great since they did not provide breakfast. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. The main strip (Ocean Ave.) was just a couple blocks away and a nice walk to the beach. Briarwood is PET FRIENDLY! The only criticism I would have about our room was the shower. It is very cramped. Other than that, this place GOOD!
