In town for a wedding and we had a great stay. The room was clean, quaint, comfortable. The staff were extremely accommodating, allowing me to use their freezer for my breastmilk. Great location, walkable to many restaurants and the beach.

Absolutely loved staying here, it’s adorable old inn in an amazing location. All that Carmel has to offer is within a short walk, and the property itself is quite charming. If you’re okay with the quirks (short ceilings) of a small and historical home, then you’ll love it here just like we did!

Liked: Cleanliness
While we liked our accommodation and the location was great, there was a lot of noise which made it difficult to sleep. Since the room had shared walls/floors we were awake from 5:30am in the morning from the heavy footsteps above our room, to the noise from next door at around 7am. The inn is also an older property; walls were thin and the floors were creaky. We would also have liked an electric kettle in the room, although the dining space was nice and had refreshments throughout the morning.
