Carmel River Inn & Cottages

Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"From check-in to check-out, it was absolutely smooth process. The front desk Jacob is very friendly and helpful. During check-in our room in the Inn was not ready, to accomodate me and my family and relax after driving for about 3hrs, we got a complimentary upgrade and got a cottage room. Their small cottages looks so cute. We got into our cottage and rested for an hour. When we're ready we walked around the property and went to the river to sit and relaxed more. The showroom is very tiny that I kind of keep hitting the wall my elbow. They have nice area with a swing and fireplaces. There's also a food truck across our room and only open for breakfast from 630am-10am. The bed are very comfortable. We loved this place and told Jacob during check-out that we will recommend this place to our friends and for sure will come back."
