Small (12 rooms), quaint older hotel with a great location just steps from downtown Carmel-by-the-sea and short walk to the beach. A little bit dated but adds to the charm, in my opinion. Coffee available in the office but no breakfast which seems to be the norm in many of the hotels in the area. They have free parking available. Would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed the convenient location, the comfortable room, the seaviews from our room, the included onsite self-parking, and the pleasant staff. We experienced some difficulty using the tv remote, but a staff person was able to re-sync it with the television, and then it worked fine. The bed was very comfortable, but the bed pillows less so. The bath towels were rough, and the inn provides poor quality one-ply toilet paper. If driving yourself to the inn, please remember to bring your own bath towels and bed pillows and toilet paper. I think you will have a great stay in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Room was spacious, clean and comfortable and quiet. Hotel is older so a little outdated but well maintained. Like so many hotels, the bathtub lacked grab bars which is essential for so many seniors.

check in.

When we went to check in the office was closed. Another hotel guest told us to go across the street to check in. If she would have not been there we wouldn't have known what to do. Someone called us and told us that 2 people called in sick. The manager should have been there to come in to cover that hotel. Completely blown away at lack of service.
