Me and my girlfriend got to beautiful Carmel and checked in at the Briarwood Inn. The girl at the desk was so sweet and very helpful. She gave me a map of the area, and showed me points of interest and nice restaurants. The hotel is located kind of downtown. Right in the middle of so many shops , restaurants,... More

A few blocks away from Ocean Street (Carmel's 'main street'), the Briarwood Inn is in a great location. Our room (52) had a very small bedroom (about one foot between the King bed and two of the walls, about 3 feet on the third), but it also had a separate living room with sofabed (which we didn't use), TV, and...

We went February 17-19th and this was our first time. We stayed in the penthouse suite and love every moment of it. This was a family trip and the penthouse suite did it's job.....from utensils, plates, cups, to all kinds of cooking wares. It felt like home! This suite was very cozy with a fireplace and best part of it... More

Stayed in #48 upstairs. Very clean w/ gas fireplace & jacuzzi in the middle of the room. Friendly inn keeper. They do have larger rooms w/ separate sitting area and bedroom. Covered parking space on property. Did not have the breakfast, but looked nice in the lobby. Rate of $150.00. Perfect for walking in town.

The Briarwood Inn is a lovely Carmel Inn that had friendly people, warm and cozy rooms. The Inn is located right in the heart of Carmel within easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants.

No parking for guests. Pushed out of the office and told they had no time to check us in. We want our money back! We left a day early and expect to be reimbursed for the day we did not stay at this dump. Sleep in your car. You'll be better off.

We stayed four nights in the Essex #4 room and were delighted with the cheerful atmosphere, the comfortable recliners, cozy fireplace, cleanliness, and the friendliness and helpfulness of Carol in the front office. Our stay couldn't have been any nicer, especially since we got a wonderful deal through Travel Zoo. We highly recommend this Inn especially since it has a... More
