My only disappointment here was that we only had one night! It was a stopover on a road trip down the California coast and was far nicer than many of the chains we used elsewhere. Carmel itself is just gorgeous and the inn is within walking distance to all the restaurants and shops. Beach is probably 10-15mins. We stayed in... more

PROS: The room were adorable--quaint and well kept (somewhat dusty, but not dirty); the grounds and structures were beautiful Tracy at the front desk was very helpful and accomodating The location is superb--walking distance from pretty much everything in and around the village CONS: Don't count on the "breakfast" for a filling meal...not bad, just minimal The bathroom was TINY... more

We had a wonderful stay June 28. We were in room 44, it was large with a beautiful fireplace and spacious bathroom. It had been recently redecorated, it sported a new flat screen tv and fresh paint, carpet and tile. The room came with a coffee set-up, at real plus for us. Our room was quiet and we were able... more

Stayed at the Briarwood for two nights for our anniversary, on the recommendation of friends who are Carmel regulars. While we had an enjoyable weekend, we will not be returning to this inn. The location is incredible. Just a couple blocks north of the Coach store, and within a two-block radius of some incredible restaurants. It is really nice not... more

My husband and I stayed here for two nights in early November and were impressed with the spacious, clean rooms. Our room included a King size bed, flat-screen TV, comfy sofa, gas-fireplace and plenty of over-sized bath towels (big plus). The service was friendly, although we did witness one of the inn keepers being quite verbally abusive toward a maid... more

Our young family stayed in the Cambridge self catering cottage with a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a living room. Nice decor and brand new flat screen TV. Nice and clean. Excellent location a short walk from beach and main shopping area. The breakfast area in the office was a little too small for all the guests which meant some... more

I booked the Briarwood Inn just a few weeks earlier and it turned out to be a great place to stay. I had an upstairs room that had a little sitting area with a fireplace. It was clean, smelled nice, was bright and cool. There was a little balcony as well though I didn't venture out. Water pressure was good.... more
