"I had a late check-in and the staff was nice enough to leave the key for room at the entrance after reception office was closed for the night. Was informed that AC was kaput was no issue as it was cool that evening. Marie helped us in the morning and provided hints on what this town has to offer. I would come back to this place again if I happen to commute thru Carmel! Great people in a pretty and friendly place!"

"The Inn is one of our favorite places in Carmel. Usually we have one of the better rooms but they were gone this time. The basic king bed room was small and the bathroom very small and poorly conceived with few surfaces on which to place things. A better room is a must for next time. Breakfast great and included. Parking very limited and must be reserved morning at 8 am day of arrival. $40!!"
