"The staff was very helpful, but some were a bit distant. The room and property were great, but the parking was somewhat limited and the walk to parking could be somewhat challenging for older guests."

"Clean room, and very nice property. There was no parking available in the small parking lot, and parking on the street was limited. We had to park a block away from the Inn. Also, the office closes at 3pm. It would have been nice to be greeted by someone when we got there."

"Me encantó el lugar. La atención, limpieza. Sin embargo, la habitación no tenía ventana, al no tener aire acondicionado, no había ventilación o brisa fresca que pudiera entrar a la habitación. Si tenía un abanico, tuvimos que usarlo. Pero hubiera sido ideal que pudiera tener alguna ventana."

"Great boutique hotel in Carmel. Close to the main areas in Carmel. Great customer service. Lovely comfortable rooms while not huge are beautiful furnished. Great free extras provided from early morning coffee, a delicious buffet breakfast with egg station, afternoon wine and not forgetting the wonderful chocolate chip cookies in the evening. A real treat."
