Located in downtown Carmel, Carriage House Inn is within 10 minutes' drive from Pebble Beach and 17 Mile Drive. A free continental breakfast tray and newspaper are delivered to guest suites daily.

Featuring a fireplace, each elegant room provides a free snack basket, a flat-screen satellite TV, free Wi-Fi and a mini fridge stocked with free drinks at the Carriage House Inn. Select suites feature a two-person spa bath or two fireplaces.

So this hotel does not have a pool or a hot tub or a spectacular garden. What it does have is friendly staff, fantastic rooms, great breakfast,, complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres, and lots of small touches that put it in a class of its own.

It's a gem. I truly love that area the Carmel. River, There was one of the biggest gathering places for native Tribes. You're in the most perfect place. Because you can go to the beach, you can go to The Valley. You could easily go down the coast. You easily make it into Monterey. And it's really a beautiful place to stay.

A microwave and a refrigerator are standard in every spacious room at Coachman’s Inn. All rooms are simply styled with brass furniture; they include a coffee machine and free popcorn.

Guests of Inn Coachman’s can relax in the semi-private outdoor whirlpool and dry sauna. A large outdoor sun deck with patio furniture is also available. A full breakfast buffet is served between 08:00 until 10:00. Wine, hors d'oeuvres, and freshly-baked cookies are served each evening from 16:30 until 18:00.

The room exceeded expectations with its cleanliness and well-equipped amenities. The standout feature was undoubtedly the cozy fireplace, adding a charming touch to the ambiance. Its strategic location, just a short walk from dining options, further enhanced the overall experience.

    The inn is very charming with a warm, intimate feel. It still feels like the California coast, however, because the rooms are in different buildings, all with doors to the outside, nestled into the landscape. Best of all, the inn is a few minutes walk down to the beach. You can hear the ocean from where you are staying.

    The Inn has a great location being close to Ocean Avenue and near many excellent restaurants. It also has covered parking which I find to be a plus. The bed was comfortable.

    Very cute loved the courtyard and Dutch front door and being able to see the ocean from top of stairs. Staff recommended place to eat which was right down from the Inn @ Brophys Tavern. Convenient parking spot at the Inn . We will definitely stay next time we are in town. Great value

    Wasnt sure what to expect as the pictures I saw suggested one thing (cheap for the area and time, and cheap for a reason) but boy was I wrong (or perhaps the pictures I saw were wrong). So imagine this inn / hotel as a collection of cabins spread out with gardens, outdoor yard to sit out in the evening, and peaceful n quiet. The cabin itself is rustic in style (it seems to be a style for this area) but so comfortable and more personalable than a hotel. Would definitely not hesitate to recommend this place!
