The Stevenson House is a good choice but needs a new sofa and should provide bar soap instead of the dispensers in the shower. Also the desk agent on Sunday had a definite attitude problem. She was curt and dismissive and not at all welcoming.

Briarwood Inn is a great option to stay when visiting Carmel. It is close to the city center (you can do several activities on foot), and the rooms are large and comfortable. The only thing I would say needs improvement is the internet (very slow). I recommend this place to anyone looking for good accommodation options to enjoy a great trip to Carmel.
