Lovely inn! We stayed for a wedding close by in the valley. Great place to stay for an easy walk to a really cute downtown.

The Green Lantern Inn is authentically sublime.. Upon arrival, we were 'graciously welcomed' by Ms Augustina, whose kindheartedness epitomizes the Inn's hospitable nature.. Captivation defined via serenity of a misty morn'n shoreline stroll..

We thought the executive suite would have a bit more space. They oversold the second bed which was a futon. Otherwise it was a great stay!

The property looks lovely from the outside, with a beautiful garden and a great location. However, the interior of the room was disappointing and in need of a complete update. The bed frame was broken, the space felt cramped with little ventilation, and the bathroom was outdated with low quality toiletries. There’s no air conditioning, only a fan, which was unfortunately dusty but did the job. If you’re not particular about comfort and style, it might be fine, but otherwise, it leaves much to be desired.

The Inn is just 1 block from Ocean and 3 blocks from 7th & Delores, with many excellent restaurants and art galleries nearby. The location is quiet with adequate parking. The rooms are small and dated, but the comfortable main house w/ coffee, tea, seating & tables, extra bathroom was a nice resource. The Inn was clean, but could use some remodeling and a fresh coat of paint. The staff was very helpful with restaurant recommendations, and we particularly enjoyed breakfast at La Bicyclette.

Quaint older inn in a convenient location to everything in Main Street Carmel. Loved the inn,. The only thing that could have been better is if it had more heat capability as it was cold for my wife in early March 2025.

We were delighted to stay at this hotel! It seems we received an upgrade because our room was so cozy, complete with a fireplace and a spacious bathroom. The hotel is situated in the city center, surrounded by many cafes and restaurants, and just a couple of blocks from the ocean. Despite its central location, the hotel is in a quiet area. I definitely recommend it!

Hotel is quaint and lovely. Short walk to the heart of Carmel, with good restaurants and beautiful shops. Fun to just walk around, and the beach is just a few blocks from the hotel.

Staying at the Green Lantern was easy and comfortable. The parking in the front and on the side street were just steps away from our room. Plenty of windows and natural light in the Pine Room. Three different locks on the door gave me peace of mind since the door was close to the street. The hotel is quaint, you aren’t getting a resort experience or top tier accommodations, but we were completely satisfied with our room for our short stay!
