The best parts about this place are the value & the friendliness of the host(s). The rooms themselves are clean & comfortable, but not extra-special. The location is perfect, with instant access to the private section of 17-Mile Drive (a couple of blocks off the loop itself), and only a few minutes drive from Carmel and Monterrey. We had a spectacular stay, not so much because of the Inn itself but because we fell in love with the Peninsula. But the Inn was great - nicer than it looks in the photos, in fact. The breakfasts & evening appetizers are thoughtful and of good quality; the host (in our case, Jim) was exceptionally friendly and welcoming; and our room was coze, clean, comfortable, quiet, and had good-quality linens & robes. Sure, there was a slight mustiness, and it took a few minutes for the heat to kick in, and it won't win awards for decor, but it was tasteful and attractive, and all-in-all, for the money (160 a night) it was fantastic. Not a honeymoon sort of place in my opinion, but it has a great vibe and we'll certainly stay there again when we return to the area.
