Happy-Landing is my second favorite B&B in Carmel, the first would be the Lamplighter. Happy-Landing has so much character and the rooms are very comfortable. The staff is great and it is a very dog-friendly inn. Also, the location is perfect since it not on Ocean Ave but just a quick walk to town.

Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Happy Landing Inn in Carmel. Room #4 had plenty of room for 3 adults, 2 children, and 2 small dogs. Loved how the living room and bedroom had doors to allow for privacy. The room decor reflects the usual Carmel charm. Each morning, we were presented with a delightful breakfast of... More

The hotel has individual rooms opening up on a charming courtyard and garden. THe rooms are comfortable, small, homey. The bathroom is very small but everything works super well. The breakfast offered is very good and everything was well kept and clean.

We have stayed at the Happy Landing Inn for over 10 years, and investigated many of Carmel's Bed and Breakfast's. None have the combination of charm, location, quiet and comfort as the Happy Landing Inn. Dawn is an excellent innkeeper and we intend to continue to stay at the Happy Landing Inn for many years to come. R&R

I was a little unimpressed. The chairs in the sitting room were pretty horrible both in comfort, age and feel (just seemed dirty). It was very stuffy in our room and just felt a bit "aged". Neither one of us wanted to shower the next morning because the shower was not very inviting, so we opted to wear hats instead.... More

The room these guests occupied had been painted and new carpet installed a week prior to their stay. All of our rooms are furnished with antiques, in keeping wth the overall atmosphere of the Inn which was built in 1926. Charis and sofas are cleaned on a regular schedule. Showers in all rooms are scrubbed between guests as part of... More

This was my first visit to this B&B and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We took two rooms for the Thanksgiving weekend and found it very comfortable and charming. The dog was happy too! The location couldn't be better and the staff were so friendly and accomodating. The best part is having breakfast brought to the room where it can be... More

We are repeat guests at this quaint "walk to the beach" dog friendly B&B which makes me feel like I'm in England or Victoria, BC. A group of us Standard Poodle owners have an annual tradition of spending the first December weekend in Carmel. Cottage-like in look and feel, the rooms are charming, a "just right" sized breakfast is delivered... More

We've stayed here several times, with and without our dogs. Consistently wonderful and relaxing. Close enough to walk to the beach, I enjoy falling asleep listening to the soft sound of waves crashing in the distance. Having breakfast (and COFFEE) brought to the room is a huge convenience for us, lets us lollygag around until we're ready to head out... More

We decided to do a romantic get-away for my birthday with my wife. She found this place through trip adviser and we booked 2 nights for a weekend. We showed up on Friday and the place looked gorgeous from outside but inside everything was nasty. I have attached some pictures so you can see what I'm talking about: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockzilla22/sets/72157627787503867/ The... More

Unfortunately these guests visited at a time when we were experiencing a turnover in housekeeping staff. Had they notified us of their issues we would have immediately addressed them to their satisfaction, or moved them to different room or different lodging facility. As for the floor, carpeting was professionally cleaned less than 60 days prior to these quests visit. Bed... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in room 5. Although small, we found it very quaint and charming. It was very nicely decorated, clean and quiet. The courtyard is lovely, and the inn itself is within walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. Breakfast was brought to our room each morning; coffee, fruit, pastry and quiche (quiche was not our... More
