Normandy Inn

Normandy Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The property was war, inviting and so beautiful with its flowers and exquisite care for the buildings and gardens. It was a spotless comfortable room, gracious host at breakfast and friendly and attentive front desk. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to be in the center of the adorable downtown of Carmel."
