Briarwood Inn in Carmel

We loved our stay here! Very nice staff. Super clean room. Perfect accommodations. Very close to everything. & even a small ocean view. Will definitely stay here again!

We'd stay again! Location and parking
We were in the Cambridge Deluxe Family Cottage:
Between the location, the dedicated parking spot, the exterior charm, two full bedrooms with doors, and the kitchenette, this place is a winner. I love when family spaces have two twin beads instead of another double or queen - so much better for kids. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, the bathroom had a lot of storage. The landscaping outside is sooooo beautiful. We would stay again without hesitation.
On the downside: the place is getting worn and could really benefit from some updates. All the furniture looks 30-50 years old, as does the carpet. The wallpaper is peeling in the bathroom. $1000 in updates would make this place a 5-star property and feel like something really special. The chairs in the living room are terribly uncomfortable, the kitchen "table" was really like a card table and very beat up. The peeling wallpaper is unsightly and just off-putting. I was also a little disappointed in the cleaning - there were crumbs (or something else worse) in one of the kitchen drawers, and I found both some utensils and a pan that had been put away dirty by a previous guest and not cleaned by staff.
Like I said, we would stay again without hesitation. But again, a bit more investment and attention to detail would knock this place out of the park.

It was good for the price. There as a lot of outside noise , you can hear people pulling up and unpacking their belongings

Manager Tiffany and front desk Jackie were very friendly and helpful, as was everyone else on the property. Room was comfortable and spacious, with nice and easy to operate fireplace and a bathtub. The fridge and coffeemaker were convenient. A small microwave could have made it even better.

Not all rooms come with parking. Rooms with parking say so, when you are booking, so keep an eye out if that is a non starter. All parking in the immediate area is 2 hours during the day. It can be quite the walk to the car.

Otherwise, it was a great place to stay and would do it again.

Good choice for families and even single day of purchase is available. Highly accessible to the town centre yet quiet place indeed.

The location of the hotel is not far from the main street. It is very quiet. The fireplace in the room is great. Once turned on, it becomes warm and makes people feel like home. However, the small bed is too small.

This is an adorable bed and breakfast! We stayed in the St. Anne room which was a king bedroom suite with jacuzzi tub. The room was beautiful and relaxing. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, even when we asked for a wine bottle opener and wine glasses for a bottle of wine we bought while visiting Napa Valley. Very close walking distance to restaurants and shops and no problem parking at all (although we did stay in a room that had it's own parking spot). Breakfast area in office is small but very fresh food and tasty!

A well run small Carmel hotel, whom walking distance from Ocean St. Is is close to several excellent restaurants. We would be happy to stay here again.
