    A bit too expensive, given the season?

    I loved this little motel. It offers cottage rooms very well kept and romantic. The locations is perfect (a few steps from the beach and a few steps from Carmel's city center. It is close to restaurants, shops and bars. The personell is super nice and we appreciated the coffees and cokies in the morning. The internet worked well, the bed was very confy and the bathroom clean and neat. I would go back

    Last year, the breakfast was a little bit more sofisticated. With different options we could choose from and also a waffle option. This year we haven't seen the same and I grabbed a croissant that was cold and seemed old.

    We love the green lantern inn. Stayed last year and would stay again.

    Pillows could’ve been bigger and more comfortable. Even though the continental breakfast was nice, there could’ve been a little more. (Like maybe fruit and yogurt??)

    The Green Lantern Inn is a great place to stay & is walking distance to lots of Carmel shops and restaurants. It’s an older Inn, but is well maintained & updated, still holding to the vintage style. Our cottage was small but very clean and comfortable. The cottages and grounds feel like a story-book garden with lush greenery and flowers as well as trickling water fountains. The pastries and coffee offered in the common area, by the office are a nice touch. The Inn staff were very pleasant and accommodating. We enjoyed our 2 day getaway at Green Lantern Inn. So quaint! I highly recommend it.

    The property was nice but the room we were in was very small with a big bathroom but no place except a very small shelf to put toiletries on . The heater in the room was very noisy and it looked like the filter needed cleaning.

    Location. Reception was airy and clean.

    Be sure to ask for a unit without a room above now that the floors are not carpeted.

    Adorable property in an amazing location. Jackie at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Great coffee and pastries all day long. The new floors and upgrades are looking great.

    The area is fairly expensive and this hotel cost a little above what I would've expected, for the amenities and furnishings provided.

    Location was great and walkable, very close to the beach and there was parking available. The cottages were cozy and private and the outdoor spaces on the lot were pretty. There was breakfast and drinks in the lobby and in a side shed, and the staff were super friendly.

    Breakfast could have been better - croissant and jam to start the day. Would have enjoyed cereal or another choice

    The bed and breakfast is quite good and centrally located in Carmel. You can walk to just about everything. The room was good-sized and very comfortable.

    Updated room. Carpet, bathroom very old

    The room is dated and could use a facelift. Quite pricey for what it was. I am used to more that fresh pastries in the morning when staying at an Inn/bed and breakfast-however the pastries were very good.

    The carpet seriously needs to be updated and the breakfast was disappointing. I expected a personal touch to it, but it was laid out with pastries only, vacuum coffee pots and small plastic commercial containers of jam.

    lovely room with wonderful light, and great to have plantation shutters over curtains

    The breakfast was for me pointless- croissants and cake, with water, coffee or tea. Nothing nourishing/ healthy. Although the breakfast room was quite nice. I did enjoy a piece of cake that was served in the afternoon- nice touch after time on the beach. The bathroom was pretty old, but clean and functional.

    Room was very comfortable, spacious and quiet. Access to ice, tea water and a microwave was very convenient. The ground are lovely and the location was perfect! Quiet neighbourhood but only 5 minutes walk to center and beach. Very friendly and helpful staff. The price of my room (reserved well in advance) was reasonable for Carmel in July.

    Small room but up graded to a better room because we wouldn't fit in the bed. Also no breakfast now.

    We were disappointed because we have stayed at this property before and it apparently changed ownership after we booked. We used to have a lovely breakfast and my daughter looked forward to making her own waffles there. Now they just have a few small pastries in a case but I was happy they still had coffee and tea. The original room we were booked in was way to small and we were moved to a bigger room where we stayed in the past.
