The location is the highlight of this inn. The inn has the Carmel charm and is walking distance to shops and the beach. The room is outdated, the bathroom had been updated. We didn’t lack any basic necessities. We only interacted with staff once at check in and she was nice.

We were so pleased with the Briarwood Inn and will definitely stay there again. Excellent location, nice clean rooms, good beds, amenities, helpful staff. We did not have any noise issues -maybe we just got lucky with our neighbors. It is a great value for the money. Personally, I prefer a inn/motel with a little dated Carmel charm opposed to some super upscale inn/hotel with all new decor.
