"The room was super clean. Very small, not a size you would spend the day in. This is a respite stop rather than a destination. Only 4 rooms have a direct unobstructed view, 4 have a view over the parking lot and 2 have no view. It’s easy to miss coming south on Highway 1. There is no Wi-Fi nor cell reception on the property. If you need WiFi cross HWY 1 to the open pullout. They do have a grab and go breakfast, hard boiled eggs, muffins and juice also some seasonal fruit. Keurig machines in the wardrobe of each room. No refrigeration. Windows open to cool down the rooms and there is a heater if needed. This was 5 minutes from Limekiln State Park. It’s a drive to any restaurant. There was a taco truck Friday and Saturday at the pull out with the WiFi. The view is incredible and we had a full moon. The hostess is there in the mornings. Instructions with your access code are on the door when you arrive, there is a board next to the food/ice shed that has the room assignments."
"We loved our stay at Carmel River Inn and Cottages! We stayed in a studio cottage with wet bar and it was perfect! We had our dog with us, and this was a very dog friendly place! The property is beautiful and serene, and the Morning Joy breakfast trailer was a nice addition! You're also close to two shopping villages, The Crossroads and The Barnyard, so lots of dining and shopping, nearby!"
"Our room was more like a cottage with a full kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. It was clean, quiet, very comfortable, well lit and had everything we needed.
Great value for price and included parking (in front of unit) and breakfast each morning."
