My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days and had a wonderful experience. The property was quaint, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. Exactly what we were looking for in a Carmel getaway. Our room was spotless, and we appreciated that all of the amenities and fixtures felt new and well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive with cleaning services throughout our stay. We felt comfortable from the moment we arrived and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. I would definitely stay again and would recommend this inn to anyone visiting Carmel.

The room was very clean & spacious. The area was quiet & within a half mile walk to downtown. The staff was also quite friendly. No pool but if thats not an issue, is a great cottage type atmosphere to spend the night. Thanks Carmel Resort Inn.

A very cozy, enjoyable, recently renovated bungalow. But due to remodeling in process, the grounds were a bit disheveled. Still, the staff were helpful and cheerful. A great change of pace from your typical hotel/motel experience.

The place was cute bur the outside needs a little touch up. The bathroom is supee small and the roiler paper holder was falling off the wall. I wish there was a small table to eat at, but other than that it was cozy.
