Staff was great. But that doesn’t make up for the condition of the rooms. There was no door knob or handle on the door to the room! Not joking; instead there was a belt hook (like in a closet) we used to pull the door shut so we could press the electronic button to lock it. So weird. Screens were missing on 2 of the windows. Then construction started above us before we could check out- it was SO loud. Our dogs went crazy it was so loud. Blown away that they didn’t consider us before the work started. Parking was very limited. At least it was located close to food/shopping.

The Inn’s staff were helpful, kind, and attentive. The rooms were clean and bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Overall our stay was seamless and we enjoyed the fireplace in our room. There’s plenty of street parking around the Inn in case the parking lot is full. Would definitely recommend!

Quaint hotel!

We loved this cute little hotel! Our room had a wonderful fireplace. The heater doesn’t heat the room very well so it stayed pretty cold in the room but overall we were very satisfied!

Highly recommend this charming little Inn!

Great place to stay! Central location, plenty of parking, very charming, and clean. I’m pretty picky about where I stay and would stay here again. We loved how friendly the staff was, the fireplace in our room, and the overall feel of the Inn. Happy we didn’t spend double on another place in town, this tied into all the old charm of the town with the comfort and cleanliness I needed.

Great place for a quick get away to Carmel.

I thought that this was a very cute property. Our room was spacious and as described. We needed to use the fireplace to keep the temp up, but that was fun! Only improvement would be to have more towel racks or hooks in the bathroom.
