We had a great time here! Property was super cute, we love the cabin vibes. Management was very helpful and accommodating to our request for early AND late checkout, we were very appreciative of that as we were in town for the race that weekend. We will be back!

A fun location, not too far from the heart of downtown, if you’re driving. The only fault I found was they did have an ice machine, but no pop machine.

Overall it was a great experience! The room was amazing and the staff were friendly! I gave it 4 out of 5 because there was a little trash on the ground where I stayed. I highly recommend and would go back in the future.

It is NOT walking distance to downtown restaurants and stores. For that reason we will not stay again. The room was clean and bed was soft. No AC but there is a fan provided.

Nice spot and accommodating a last minute booking. They were able to do a late check in too. Walls are thin so we could hear our neighbors who were up late, but wouldn’t deter me from staying again.

I stayed here for two nights with my boyfriend and it was private and clean! We really liked it overall however the AC was broken and the bathroom door didn’t fully close. Because it wasn’t too hot when we stayed, it was okay without AC but I can imagine it getting pretty stuffy in the summer. We walked to the downtown area and the beach and it was a safe and beautiful neighborhood. Would definitely stay again!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days and had a wonderful experience. The property was quaint, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. Exactly what we were looking for in a Carmel getaway. Our room was spotless, and we appreciated that all of the amenities and fixtures felt new and well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive with cleaning services throughout our stay. We felt comfortable from the moment we arrived and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. I would definitely stay again and would recommend this inn to anyone visiting Carmel.

The Carmel Resort Inn was a pleasant place to stay. The room was clean, although not exceptionally so. The refrigerator was set very cold and caused some of our food to become icy. Clean towels were provided during our stay. Housekeeping services were available upon request, but they did not automatically service the room or remove the trash daily unless the trash was placed outside. Overall, the stay was comfortable, and the location was convenient.

A very cozy, enjoyable, recently renovated bungalow. But due to remodeling in process, the grounds were a bit disheveled. Still, the staff were helpful and cheerful. A great change of pace from your typical hotel/motel experience.
