CARMEL GARDEN INN, Carmel-by-the-Sea

Carmel Garden Inn, a 2-star bed and breakfast under the management of Curtis and Holly, retains the charm of its original design with ten cozy guest rooms and five mini-suites featuring private patios. The mini-suites include wood-burning fireplaces, Monterey Mattress Co. king or queen beds, and kitchenettes, while the Rosita room offers a peek of the ocean. A homemade breakfast with items like secret-recipe granola and summer vegetable frittata is served from 8am to 10am in the bistro-style dining room, which also hosts complimentary afternoon wine and cheese.
