pros: Very cute and very Carmel cottages and ground. convenient and quiet. walkable to shopping, dining and beach. The staff is very friendly. cons: Very limited onsite parking. The street parking is impossible until after dinner on the weekend. The insulation of the cottage is bad. Our cottage was so hot that we had to keep the door open after dinner until it cools down. Also not all the windows have screens. bugs get in. very limited storage space and have to live out of the suitcase mostly.

Staff was excellent, friendly and helpful. Grounds were very nice and close to everything. The steps from the door to the bed were steep and narrow. I’m older and have bad knees. I wish this would have been told to us we would have requested a different room.

The hotel was so cute and quaint, and we absolutely loved the Maple room! Very private and cozy... Agustina who helped get us settled was just a lovely gal, and super helpful with all the little details; we really enjoyed chatting with her! Think next time we are in that area for the night, we'd most likely just opt to stay there again, and would even book the same room! Dinner Saturday evening on the patio at Anton and Michel was also wonderful, we'd highly recommend both spots while in Carmel!

We wanted to love this Inn and it was lovely in many ways. The ceilings in our room were so low and just wish we had gotten a heads up, my husband hit his head hard on the ceiling! The room was also not very clean. The bed was comfortable and had all the great amenities. The area is cute! Overall, an okay stay but wanted so much more!
