Carmel Green Lantern Inn is a beautiful, fairytale-like place with so much charm and character. The location is excellent and close to many attractions, including the entrance to 17-Mile Drive, downtown Carmel, shops, restaurants, and the beach.

The rooms were clean, and the entire property and surrounding grounds were very well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay.

The only thing that would have made the experience even better would be having breakfast available at the inn and also more parking space.
Overall, we had a lovely stay and would gladly recommend it to anyone visiting Carmel-by-the-Sea.

The room was perfect for our family of five, which can sometimes be difficult to find unless renting a house. The property was beautiful and clean but expect only basic amenities. Super walkable! Only a short walk to the beach and close to many restaurants and shops in town. After we arrived and parked, we didn’t get back in our car until we were leaving town.

It’s a great location, only a few minutes walk downhill to the beach or uphill to the Main Street with all the shops. Front desk staff was friendly, room was nice. Expensive but most places are in Carmel and you’re paying a premium for the location.

It was beautiful and cute property but cleanliness was subpar to what I expected for a property like this at at the price. In the room, there were some wobbly floor pieces near the bathroom, the windows had no screens to keep bugs out which bugs did come in. It lacked any bathroom counter space (I think they should really think about placement of stuff, try some floating shelves in there that would make a huge difference). Overall the room was fine but it showed its age; major air gap in the front door let a draft in so it was a little chilly. Even with the fireplace on, the room would lose heat fast. I assume that drives gas costs up over time. But again it was acute property and we’d stay again but it still needs some minor modern updates and better cleaning of the rooms and property.

Very cute boutique hotel which definitely exceeded my expectations! The location was the best - we walked to the beach, the restaurants and coffee shops. The rooms were clean with all expected amnesties. The staff were polite and professional. We booked 2 rooms and they upgraded 1 of our rooms to a family suite - Cypress. It had a cute loft area too with a queen bed. The stairs were a little steep but not too bad. Overall great experience - very cute garden area too. Definitely coming back!!

We would not recommend this property. The property is worn out. Visible signs or wear and tear. No AC. Walls are very thin. You can hear the people upstairs, or people talk next door, the fountain running outside. The chairs are completely stained. The door knob did not lock!!! Only top lock worked. The only positive is the location.

The hotel and whole area was extremely pet friendly and made it so comfortable! We found parking, but we also got there a couple hours before check in and walked to the beach. Later on, the parking was pretty full so it may be harder the later you get there! All together, this place was great!

Customer service is impeccable. Our hostess took us to our cottage and was so pleasant and nice. This property is so close to main shopping district a the ocean. It is quiet. I wish they would serve pastries in the am.

Pet friendly but charge $50 per night, which seems silly. Older cottages, common in Carmel, but some of the furniture in the rooms need updating- stains on rugs, tears on fabrics. Tree sap on outdoor chairs.
Biggest issue is that in a room for 4 people - 2 get a converted leather couch that flattens to a full, not a queen but a full-size. And then there's nowhere to put your suitcases. Staff only offered a room upgrade for second night, but we were settled and unpacked and leaving the next day so that wasn't a good solution. They didn't offer any other solutions.

We loved our stay! We had a great view of the ocean and sunsets. Our room felt cozy and we slept great! The Green Lantern Inn is perfectly located near downtown with everything within walking distance. As for parking, we had no issues. We always found a spot right in front of the Inn. The staff was very warm and inviting and had great recommendations for food and activities. We cant wait to come back for another stay.

This property is perfectly positioned near every hotspot in Carmel. You’re just a few blocks from the beach and steps away from downtown shopping. It’s a wonderful place to relax outside with a glass of wine while watching your dog play. The rooms are spotless, and the staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again!

The property is really cute and the location is excellent! It is within walking distance of Ocean Avenue where there’s lots of shopping and a variety of restaurants. Be aware it is an old inn so it does not have air conditioning and the wall heater in the bedroom will not heat the bathroom. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Quiet oasis, very stylish. Not like a hotel - little scattered cottages.

Note heater is small and cooling is ceiling fans. If very cold or very hot, not sure if it’s enough for perfect comfort.

Very nice bed. Photos didn’t show a microwave but there was one, as well as fridge, in the room.

Excellent spot for a rest. Carmel much more peaceful than Monterey.

Absolutely loved staying here, it’s adorable old inn in an amazing location. All that Carmel has to offer is within a short walk, and the property itself is quite charming. If you’re okay with the quirks (short ceilings) of a small and historical home, then you’ll love it here just like we did!

While we liked our accommodation and the location was great, there was a lot of noise which made it difficult to sleep. Since the room had shared walls/floors we were awake from 5:30am in the morning from the heavy footsteps above our room, to the noise from next door at around 7am. The inn is also an older property; walls were thin and the floors were creaky. We would also have liked an electric kettle in the room, although the dining space was nice and had refreshments throughout the morning.

pros: Very cute and very Carmel cottages and ground. convenient and quiet. walkable to shopping, dining and beach. The staff is very friendly.
cons: Very limited onsite parking. The street parking is impossible until after dinner on the weekend. The insulation of the cottage is bad. Our cottage was so hot that we had to keep the door open after dinner until it cools down. Also not all the windows have screens. bugs get in. very limited storage space and have to live out of the suitcase mostly.
