We enjoyed the convenient location, the comfortable room, the seaviews from our room, the included onsite self-parking, and the pleasant staff. We experienced some difficulty using the tv remote, but a staff person was able to re-sync it with the television, and then it worked fine. The bed was very comfortable, but the bed pillows less so. The bath towels were rough, and the inn provides poor quality one-ply toilet paper. If driving yourself to the inn, please remember to bring your own bath towels and bed pillows and toilet paper. I think you will have a great stay in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
