Charming hotels tucked along a quiet street, just steps from Ocean Avenue. The rooms are bright, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed—with a cozy kitchenette nestled by the window.

Great Inn to be close to the action in Carmel. Room was nice and comfortable. Complimentary cookies, fruit and drinks were great. Expensive, but not unreasonable for the location.
