We had a lovely stay. My best friend and I stayed for one night. Check in was easy, a key was left for us at the office with instructions and WiFi access. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a two room, two queen room on the ground floor. We liked the layout of the beds. We both could watch our own tv and see each other. The rooms are recently remodeled and look great. We met the owner at check out and he was very friendly. He told us about his plans to add a fire pit and seating for guest outdoors! The inn was very close, walking distance to restaurants and the beach! I plan to return with my family! I will note that sound traveled easily so I heard our neighbor snoring for a bit and in the morning, we heard people walking around and down the stairs. That didn’t take away from our good experience.

Om (on-site manager) was fabulous from the second we walked in - easiest check in process and had the radiated happiness our entire stay. The location is nestled perfectly on the more northern part of Carmel - walkable to every area. We were just one black from Casanovas and had a wonderful time shopping and enjoying all the local businesses nearby. The only downside we have is that on the weekend it took us 30+ mins to find a parking spot. The property does have a few stalls, however it is first come first serve. If you like to be in a safe/quiet area, but still can walk to any part of town - this is your spot. Hospitality is great. Will definitely stay here again!
