The Green Lantern Inn is a wonderful place to stay. For the price point, the location is unbeatable—within walking distance to both the beach and the heart of Carmel. The property is quiet and peaceful. We especially enjoyed the cozy fireplace in our room. The staff and manager were excellent. We hope to return next year!

Nice little cottage to spend some time at while you enjoy the downtown area, I loved how close the beach was (about a 3 minute walk) and how close downtown Carmel was (only a block away)

Challenging

The location was very convenient, close to downtown & beach, but the parking was challenging very minimum spots at the Inn the rest available was on the street again very challenging & disappointing. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable, you could feel the springs, very disappointing. The breakfast needs improvement, they served Costco muffins & croissants (next day or two days old). For the prices they charge I thought it would be a lot more comfortable & with fresher pastries & perhaps some fruit. We won’t be staying there again.

The Green Lantern Inn is authentically sublime.. Upon arrival, we were 'graciously welcomed' by Ms Augustina, whose kindheartedness epitomizes the Inn's hospitable nature.. Captivation defined via serenity of a misty morn'n shoreline stroll..

The property looks lovely from the outside, with a beautiful garden and a great location. However, the interior of the room was disappointing and in need of a complete update. The bed frame was broken, the space felt cramped with little ventilation, and the bathroom was outdated with low quality toiletries. There’s no air conditioning, only a fan, which was unfortunately dusty but did the job. If you’re not particular about comfort and style, it might be fine, but otherwise, it leaves much to be desired.

Property was a cute Carmel cottage, however when I booked our room I didn’t realize how low the ceilings were. I am 6’ and had to watch my head while in the room due to its low ceiling height. The overall property is very nice, clean and very well maintained.

We had a one-night stay in the middle of the week. The area was quiet and cozy and super walkable - we didn't touch the car until it was time to leave! The room was exactly what we needed for our quick stay and well-located. Sound travels a bit easily, especially footsteps from the next room. But the water was warm and the sheets were cozy and clean. Would revisit.

We thought the executive suite would have a bit more space. They oversold the second bed which was a futon. Otherwise it was a great stay!

Disappointment

Tiny, uncomfortable room with low ceilings. Uncomfortable pillows and not enough bedding for the cold temps. Very limited parking. Very loud neighbors. No daily cleaning service. Glitchy night stand lamps that turned on in in the middle of the night for no reason. No coffee or tea service in room.

The Inn is just 1 block from Ocean and 3 blocks from 7th & Delores, with many excellent restaurants and art galleries nearby. The location is quiet with adequate parking. The rooms are small and dated, but the comfortable main house w/ coffee, tea, seating & tables, extra bathroom was a nice resource. The Inn was clean, but could use some remodeling and a fresh coat of paint. The staff was very helpful with restaurant recommendations, and we particularly enjoyed breakfast at La Bicyclette.

Some rooms nice some dingy. We were apparently given an upgrade - it was not an upgrade - it was dingy and smelled and had two doors to the outside and neither were sealed properly. Finally got the room we booked - it was better - but no windows opened so it got stuffy. No housekeeping unless requested. No bakery items in the morning as they said there would be and no cookies in afternoon...again...as they said there would be. Coffee is organic and only creamer type pumps. Only oat milk for tea or powder. Gardens are not kept up nor lawns. First time we have been disappointed in Carmel with accommodations. First set of staff were not the friendliest. The ladies the last two days we were there were quite nice.
