"Everything was good except when we checked in we were told our cabin would be serviced on the third day of our stay. It wasn't and when we stopped at the front office the other desk clerk said "Well, you have to request it" Come on, if we were told it would be, then later told we have to request it, that is on the front office communication. Get the right information out to the guests. Bad job on that side. The property was very nice and well maintained. Felt very safe and comfortable. Beds were just as comfortable as the Hilton properties which I typically stay on business trips. Over all, I would stay here again, but know that I will specify my housekeeping cleaning day at check-in."

Carmel Fireplace Inn

Carmel Fireplace Inn

8/10 Good
"Overall, it was a good stay. We had a Quiet room but the location on property was poor. One side faced the property parking lot while the opposite side faced a construction parking lot. We should’ve been offered a discount since, as in the online photos, it showed nothing but pretty greenery and hanging plants. It was nice to have lunch at the umbrella tables in the center of the property. We arrived after the office was closed, but the self-check in instructions were clear and easy to follow. It was a little weird that they put the refrigerator in the bathroom. Property location was great! We could walk down the street one way to the shops, galleries, and restaurants, or out the other directions into the neighborhoods."
