Carmel River Inn & Cottages

Carmel River Inn & Cottages

8/10 Good
"The room was very clean and the staff is great, very responsive to all my questions. The location is also good and it’s lovely to look out your window and see lots of greenery. Only negative is the shabbiness of the bathroom and a few pieces of furniture. The bathrooms are greatly in need of an upgrade. "
