I cannot find any microwave oven, and a too small refrigerator. And staffs were unkind and rude. Breakfast was awful. I’ll never use it again.

Beautiful location and property. The flowers were so special. Nice welcome and information. Clean room…a nice surprise to have the fireplace for the cool mornings. Breakfast was adequate and saved us time before heading out for the day. Also a little market around the corner was helpful. Close to great restaurants, shopping and the beach for sunsets. Would recommend

Wonderful 4 night stay

Loved our stay here. Had top floor room so a view of the ocean. Parking was relatively tight. Layout was a bit confusing. Our 1st night there, as we were nearby eating dinner, elevator died. We didn’t know how to get back up to room so we walked around building; that was correct of course. Luckily elevator fixed by about 11 am. Breakfast was good. Wish door would’ve remained unlocked for microwave use; I asked & was told it would be but it wasn’t. Great location. I would stay here again.

Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful ocean view from our balcony. Clean and quiet. No air conditioning so we slept with the sliding door open. We walked to the beach each day. Dinner across the street at Vesuvio’s; we liked it so much we had dinner their two days in a row. Just a couple a blocks away from all of the shops.

What a great little inn. Nothing fancy but a quiet place close to all Carmel by the sea had to offer without a high sticker price. Walking distance to shops and food and the beach!! If your not going to make your hotel your hang out spot this is the perfect home base
