This is a hidden gem. The inn really doesn't look like much from the outside, but when we opened the door to our room, my jaw dropped. It's easily the most beautiful hotel room we've ever seen in terms of the decor. Very elegant. The furnishings are a step above what you expect from a hotel room, which are usually pretty generic. The bed is like climbing into a cloud - very upscale bedding and just super-comfy. The location is perfect - easy walking distance to pretty much everything in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and to the beach. The staff is wonderful, and there are fresh baked complimentary cookies in the lobby every day, along with a nice firepit where we sat in the evenings with a glass of wine.

CanadaThe room was beautiful and clean and the fireplace was the perfect touch. The bathroom was so nice and spacious and the jet tub was fun. They thought of everything 2 luggage holders in the closet and real wine glasses with bottle , real coffee mugs with creamers. They had the lights on with music playing in our room when we arrived it was so nice. The location was excellent to our dinner restaurant and our breakfast spot. The staff was super friendly and they had flashlights and a lantern in the room just in case of the power went due to the storm and it did but it came back on quickly.
United States of AmericaWe visit Carmel often. Quirky hotels abound and at this price point this exceeded our expectations. This is a well renovated hotel in a great location in the heart of Carmel by the Sea. the room was graceful, timeless, quiet and romantic with thick, lush bedding, a separate spa tub, fireplace(electris) and TV. We will return for sure.
United States of AmericaLoved everything about this room! From the comfortable warm feel to the decor. We felt right at home. Can't wait to go back. Definitely recommend!
United States of Americastaff was very accommodating - moved us to a second story room at our request.
