The hotel gave us a family friendly, tranquil vibe the whole time that we stayed for our three day vacation. The location was perfect if you want walkable to restaurants and convenience store. It has a quaint cottage feel, the rooms are big, clean, and staff are friendly. Will come back here again and will recommend it our family and friends.

Clean room. Friendly staff. Would stay here again.
I had such a lovely stay at Carmel Fireplace Inn! Katie at the front desk was so kind and helped me navigate the parking situation :) My room was great - clean, spacious, and I loved the fireplace option. I can't wait to come back and stay longer than one night!

Sweet comfortable get away!
Upgraded our room spontaneously and without charge. Clean, comfortable and quaint room. Very attentive and kind staff. Only draw back is a very small parking lot.

This hotel is clean but dated! It’s advertised as quaint and charming which the courtyard is but the room is just old with old furnishings. The faucet in my bathroom sink was broken so I got whatever temperature water was running in the other bathroom. It is walkable to some nice restaurants and shops. Parking is very tight! This place just needs a remodel!
We have stayed at the Carmel Fireplace Inn a few times now, and it has been consistently good. The gardens are always beautiful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The Inn is a nice walk away from many restaurant and shopping options in the beautiful town of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Loved the proximity to town and beach. Friendly staff and quaint vibe. Beds were comfortable and fireplaces made it feel homey. Only negative was-Parking was tight. A wonderful visit and I hope to be back again soon.
It was small living quarters, but fortunately we are fairly small, and it was adequate for us. The location and people who work at the hotel is definitely the best part about the property, and we would consider excellent.
