The Green Lantern Inn earns strong sentiment for its unbeatable walkable location between Carmel beach and downtown, genuinely charming cottage-style rooms, beautiful manicured gardens, and warm staff. However, recurring frustrations — particularly misleading breakfast listings on third-party platforms, limited and tight parking, and some rooms with low ceilings, no air conditioning, or noise issues — temper the experience for a meaningful number of guests.
- Breakfast advertised or implied on booking platforms but not provided — only coffee/tea available
- Parking is limited and tight, with few guaranteed on-site spaces
- Some rooms have very low ceilings, cramped layouts, or noise from upper floors
- No air conditioning and rooms can get hot during heatwaves
- No daily housekeeping; some bathrooms noted as needing upgrades or having poor lighting
“The listing on Booking.com made it sound like on site parking was provided. Actually the Inn only had about 6 on site spaces. This can be very challenging in a place like Carmel during the Summer.”
“Please don't advertise breakfast if nothing is offered. It had a beautiful breakfast room which is sitting empty.”
“The view of first walking up to my room was extremely beautiful, the waterfalls, the landscape, and atmosphere was just perfect.”
“We loved the little cottage we stayed in. It was bright, roomy, clean and so comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.”
“The ceiling in this room is quite low. My husband unfortunately bumped his head twice during our stay.”
