Customer service is impeccable. Our hostess took us to our cottage and was so pleasant and nice. This property is so close to main shopping district a the ocean. It is quiet. I wish they would serve pastries in the am.
I absolutely love this place, it was quite and relaxing. It's in the middle of everything and just 5 minutes from the beach. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was spacious and clean they also welcomed pets. Overall i fell in love with this place and definitely coming back 💕 Thank you
We loved our stay! We had a great view of the ocean and sunsets. Our room felt cozy and we slept great! The Green Lantern Inn is perfectly located near downtown with everything within walking distance. As for parking, we had no issues. We always found a spot right in front of the Inn. The staff was very warm and inviting and had great recommendations for food and activities. We cant wait to come back for another stay.

The property is really cute and the location is excellent! It is within walking distance of Ocean Avenue where there’s lots of shopping and a variety of restaurants. Be aware it is an old inn so it does not have air conditioning and the wall heater in the bedroom will not heat the bathroom. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Clean room, great distance from everything. Friendly staff

Quiet oasis, very stylish. Not like a hotel - little scattered cottages.
Note heater is small and cooling is ceiling fans. If very cold or very hot, not sure if it’s enough for perfect comfort.
Very nice bed. Photos didn’t show a microwave but there was one, as well as fridge, in the room.
Excellent spot for a rest. Carmel much more peaceful than Monterey.

I stayed for a short visit. I had an upgrade to a suite. It was cute, clean and spacious.
The manager Mr Ronaghi was very kind, helpful, and generous. Thanks!
In town for a wedding and we had a great stay. The room was clean, quaint, comfortable. The staff were extremely accommodating, allowing me to use their freezer for my breastmilk. Great location, walkable to many restaurants and the beach.
