Happy Landing Inn

This "Bed and Breakfast" stood out from others for two reasons: 1) their dog friendly policy and 2) proximinty to the beach and downtown Carmel. These were the ONLY items we were happy with. Because of the innkeepers mistake, the room we reserved was given away. Once she discovered it was HER mistake, she was very apoligetic and placed us in a vacant room until the morning. Up to that point, I felt she thought we made up the reservation and forged the reservation confirmation from her system! The rooms are cold, damp and smelly. And VERY SMALL. The carpet was old and frayed and probably the source of much of the smell. The shower was dark and small. The mat for the shower was old and looked scarred. There was one small bottle of shampoo and a wrapped bar of soap on the window sill. There were no other bathroom amenities. For that matter, no other amenities period. No coffee maker, nothing to make hot water, no microwave and no utensils. Breakfast was delivered to the room but it appeared to be the muffin and quiche from Costco. The pitcher of coffee was horrible. The only advantage of staying here is its location but maybe that's all it needs to be. For what we paid for our stay, we expected a whole lot more. Would we return or would we recommend this inn to anyone? NO!

Just what the doctor ordered!
