“Carmel Garden Inn possesses a charm that genuinely surprised me, especially given my usual preference for modern hotels. The small touches-wood-burning fireplaces, private patios, and lush gardens-create a romantic, secluded atmosphere, and the complimentary breakfast and wine hour feel particularly generous. It's the kind of place where you can easily unwind after a day exploring Carmel-by-the-Sea or Point Lobos.”
