“A little slice of heaven!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

The place is a bit older like many of the inns in Carmel but the people could not be friendlier! The gentleman proprietor is a true gem offering a smile and a laugh that is infectious. His sense of humor and kindness is a joy to everyone he greets. We had a lovely room that had been recently redone which when traveling with our dogs is a real treat. Usually most inns give dog owners the rooms that no one else wants but that was not the case here. As others have mentioned the location is superb! You can walk to everything in town quickly and we never moved our car in 5 days. Sure the breakfast is nothing to write home about so don't expect anything special but we found out stay delightful anyway. Try the 5th avenue deli around the corner for lunch and you will forget all about breakfast!

Room Tip: Use the internet to view each room and read the descriptions. I have found them to be helpful and v...

“Great value in Carmel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

Small but nice room. It is a bit of an older establishment. Not glamorous or glitzy, but sufficient. Continental breakfast was fine, not extraordinary. Location is superb, a 2 block walk to Ocean Avenue, 10 minutes to the beach.

“Overrated in B&B magazine and on phone. We stayed in the "unique treehouse room" with a nice view of the hotel roof. "breakfast"”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

Not much value here. Overpriced for a very basic motel feel of a room. Nothing to look forward to here.

“Loved The Fireside Inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011 via mobile

We were driving the Pacific Highway one didn't have a room booked so stopped T the tourist office for a recommendation...we weren't disappointed. It wasn't expensive (with breakfast included), the room was chintzy and the real fire was gorgeous.
It's right in the centre of Carmel which is a GORGEOUS place - we loved it.

“Cute and Clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

This is the first time we stayed at this B&B. It's located two blocks away from Ocean Avenue, the main shopping street in Carmel. We love coming to Carmel and the Monterey Pennisula and have stayed ay several hotels and B&B's. Carmel Fireplace Inn is very cute and the room was clean. You get free internet access and cable TV. If you like watching old movies you can check out a VHS video free from the front office. The staff at the front were very nice and friendly. It also includes a continental breakfast with an assortment of muffins, breads, bagels and fruit. Beverages include coffee, tea, juice and milk. Overall, we think this is a great place forth price, $79/night.
