We have stayed here twice, and loved it each time. We chose this location because it was dog friendly and we had a private patio (we brought our lab Boris both times). It is really a perfect little place if you have a pooch. It is in a slightly odd lcoation, kind of away from the main part of town, but it's an easy walk to anywhere; I mean, it's not like Carmel is New York City of something, the town is pretty dang small. The first time we stayed here we could hear the youth center across the street, but quite frankly that ended at 10 PM, so if you're complaining, get a life. The staff was awesome each time, and the breakfast on our patio was great. We loved hanging out in town and then heading back to the patio for wine and cheese each night. If you're ok with a little walk, and you go to bed later than 10 PM, I think you will dig the Garden Court Inn!

This hotel was absolutely fantastic. We expected disaster because of the other comments posted, but wanted to take a chance and see for ourselves. We found that this small hotel was beyond our expectations. The staff were remarkably friendly, the b-fast was delicious, the room was clean and cozy. We had our own private patio with a wood fireplace. My wife and I enjoyed our relaxing stay and we will return. It is the perfect place for a romantic getaway.

We rented a room for Friday night. Have stayed in Carmel about 30 times because of work but this is not the quiet, charming Carmel experience we expected. The inn is across from a youth center and a towing garage. Expect to hear noise from the tow truck which parks the towed cars next door and the music from the youth center across the street. Even with the doors and windows closed, the bass from the youth center music and the noise from the screaming teenagers did not lend itself to a relaxing evening. The manager and front desk attendent knew the phone number for the youth center so we assume this has occurred before. We aked for our money back and received it, although we suspect at any other time this would have been difficult to achieve. All the other inns and hotels were booked and by the time our money was refunded, no inns were open in Pacific Grove. We drove the 3 hours back home the same day we arrived. Very disappointing.

We loved our stay at the Carmel Garden Court Inn. We stayed in the Fuscia Suite. It had a cozy living room with a wood burning fireplace. The breakfast in the morning was delicious. We had fresh fruit and pastries. The staff is fantastic! We told them what kind of food we wanted and they made reservations for us. The staff really try to make your experience relaxing and enjoyable. The rooms are warm and inviting. It has all the comforts of home!
Will be back...
