Tiny room, lots of noise early in the morning with workers moving trash cans and doing things around the property. My room had probably the very smallest bathroom I've ever seen!

Sweet comfortable get away!

Upgraded our room spontaneously and without charge. Clean, comfortable and quaint room. Very attentive and kind staff. Only draw back is a very small parking lot.

I had such a lovely stay at Carmel Fireplace Inn! Katie at the front desk was so kind and helped me navigate the parking situation :) My room was great - clean, spacious, and I loved the fireplace option. I can't wait to come back and stay longer than one night!

Just nice enough and that's it!

The place is nice, location is the best thing about the hotel in my opinion. While I understand they are trying to keep it as cozy and as charming as possible, the place needs some upgrades as it is definitely showing signs of aging and wear. No adequate lighting in the shower, it was very dark in the shower area. Outdated outlets, weak Wi-Fi service. If you are in the first floor, definitely the squeaky floors and noises from rooms above will not let you to focus on your own business/rest. The reception staff member that checked us in was not too friendly. She was just nice enough to get by, no extra attention or care from her. Do not expect to get genuine welcoming gestures from her. She didn't give the welcoming vibe as you would expect from a hotel reception staff upon checking at the first contact. I think that is the most important quality of someone who's working in that field to be genuine, friendly and welcoming. Showing signs of frustration if she needed to repeat something or if you would ask a question that she might have explained it in her initial verbal instructions. Overall I would not book or stay at this place again, and I would not recommend it to my friends or family either.

We have stayed at the Carmel Fireplace Inn a few times now, and it has been consistently good. The gardens are always beautiful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The Inn is a nice walk away from many restaurant and shopping options in the beautiful town of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
