Hotel is quaint and lovely. Short walk to the heart of Carmel, with good restaurants and beautiful shops. Fun to just walk around, and the beach is just a few blocks from the hotel.

The location is excellent. We had to upgrade our room at additional cost to have sufficient space for just the two of us. The upgrade was cheerfully done. There was no safe and no coffee in the room. Also, the windows do not lock. All other aspects of Green Lantern were fine. We did have to deal with an unexpected water line break that temporarily made the water unusable. We don’t know the source of the problem, but the water turned brown, and we were not offered bottled water. Overall and given the price of our room, we felt that we received only average value.

Cute little spot for a decent enough price considering all the fancy shopping and dining within just a few walkable blocks. Parking can be hit or miss though. We almost had to park on the street then got lucky last minute in an onsite parking spot.
