We stayed at Fireplace Inn for one night, out of hours check in was easy with a WhatsApp message. I was disappointed to find out our garden view was as pictured, I messaged the hotel to ask if we had been given a garden view room however I never received a response. The location however was ideal for a walk into the centre.
Exelen location, very clean and friendly staff
Thank you our stay was great. Wonderful view of the ocean. We highly recommend this place.
We had the BEST time at the Carmel Fireplace Inn! They allowed us to check in early on a rainy day and we only left the room long enough to walk around the village and grab a bite to eat. Highly recommend.
Pro’s: Excellent location. Friendly staff. Clean room in a quaint hotel within walking distance to downtown Carmel. Con’s: Small rooms. No elevators. Minimal parking on site. No dressers to put clothes away. Bathrooms need updating. Furniture and decor needs updating. Noisy street traffic. And no curtains or drapes over the windows which makes for a bright room at night while trying to sleep. It fit our needs for the weekend, but unfortunately, we will not be returning due to the updates needed by the property.
Carmel Fireplace Inn is a cozy very comfortable and quiet place to stay while visiting Carmel. We walked all around town and in the neighborhoods. The. people are super nice and accommodating. We have stayed here 2 times and will plan to stay again!
Very nice place, friendly staff, close to everything. Parking was easy. Large room and a nice fireplace. Has a great two nights.
