I have stayed in Carmel for nearly forty years and have stayed in at least half of the hotels. Since happening upon the Happy Landing Inn about ten years ago, I will stay nowhere else. My family (including my Welsh Corgi) just love it. In a sea of ridiculously expensive dog hotels, this one is quiet, clean, charming, close to... More

I spent a long time going through dog-friendly accommodations and Happy Landing was without a doubt, the most affordable. They also offered the option to book just one night. Many of the other options required a 2 if not 3 night stay. I figured that since they weren't like the other B&Bs that the rooms would stink or the service... More

We stayed here years ago when we were young and we're so looking forward to returning; you can't go home again. Room and registration room were in need of a good dusting, and smelled of dog . Towels and bath mats needed replacing. Freshly painted bath had bugs stuck in the dried paint. I know it happens but then clean... More

My daughter took me to Carmel for a pre-Mother's Day overnight trip. She has stayed at Happy Landing Inn before because their accommodations for pet owners are reasonably priced. I was truly surprised at the quaintness of the facility. Just a few bungalows surrounding a lovely garden setting. We arrived after the management had turned in for the evening, but... More

My wife and I were in town for the Big Sur Marathon and stayed at the Inn for the weekend. Happy Landing Inn has a very good location. It is very quiet, yet very close to all the shops and restaurants of Ocean Ave. It is relatively a short walk to the beach from the inn. Our bed was comfortable... More

We were looking for a place in Carmel that was dog friendly, perfectly located and wouldn't break the bank. Happy Landing Inn was perfect. The Inn is situated, as others have said, one block off the main drive and a few short blocks from the beach. This location gives you access to everything Carmel has to offer and a quiet... More

We stayed at the Happy Landing for our anniversary. We loved the convenient location - right near all the shops, galleries, and restaurants, and close to the beach. The room was really sweet with antique furniture, and a beautiful quilt on the bed. We stayed in room 1, which has an architecturally interesting high, half conical ceiling, which makes it... More

Happy Landing Inn is my new favorite place to stay in Carmel! It is so cute, made up of several charming little cottages surrounding a pretty little courtyard. My two kids and I stayed in a suite with a fireplace and just had a wonderful stay. The rooms are old and the decor is vintage like all of Carmel, but... More

Happy Landing Inn is in a great location close to the downtown Carmel area, with many shops and restaurants nearby. The owner was very nice and offered suggestions on restaurants to eat. The room was very cozy. We travelled with two small dogs. If you are bringing a pet or like your space, I would recommend staying in a room... More

We wanted to stay at a location in Carmel that was dog friendly and wouldn't break the bank. This one fit both bills! Yummy breakfast served to your door every morning! We will be back for sure! Thank you Happy Landing Inn for making our trip so enjoyable!
