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.

Great price and a very large room. We had space to park our bikes inside our room if needed. Only drawback was limited office hours and limited parking. Very small parking spaces. The fireplace was a nice addition as we got soaked on our last bike ride and needed to warm up quickly.
