I have been a guest at the Cypress Inn several times, each time I was accompanied with my poodles. This place is magical. Everyone is happy. The dogs all get along. The rooms are great, and so is the staff and the restaurant/food. If you have or love dogs, you will love this place.
It was okay. They leave the front door open so if you sit in the cocktail lounge area you are essentially in a giant Breezeway of cold air. Service was spotty. The actual happy hour food was pretty good, and it's always a nice thing to be able to bring your well-behaved doggy with you inside.
Peruvian manager was excellent, friendly and focused on his guests. The servers were mediocre and I'm guessing that they judged a book by its cover.
Beautiful dog friendly patio for dining. Attentive wait staff, delicious food. A very welcoming environment.
Lovely hotel right in the centre of down town Carmel. Staff were friendly and the room was great. The restaurant and garden area were great. I loved the club sandwich and bloody mary
Dog friendly. Historic hotel/restaurant. Good food & service. Outside seating. Elegant.
Terry's bar is fantastic. Locals frequent it. Dogs are welcome and frequent it. Ask for the bar menu for smaller plates, reservations better on weekends. Eek
Great ambience, terrific service, so-so food the food is on the greasy side and lacking in flavor. The sand dabs tasted of pretty much nothing in spite of being breaded and fried. The burger was ok. But the wait staff was very attentive and responsive, and the Mediterranean villa setting is lovely.
Great location. Very accommodating for dogs, but can be challenging with so many dogs in common spaces. There's little to no effort gone in to sound dampening, normal activities like walking and opening a window can be disruptive.
We came in with a toddler and an infant for cocktails in the parlor and the staff was kind, fun and attentive. Definitely a great place to relax and beat the crowds on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It's always been a pleasure, although disappointed the outdoor cocktail area is now allocated for dining only with tables and chairs and no more couches. Oh well! Still a great place.
Came here to eat with the family. Patio and part of the indoor reception area allows seating with dogs. The food is decent in terms of quality and taste. Nothing to write home to Mom about. My wife and I had the fish taco and Cypress club. I'd recommend the Cypress club if you're really hungry, and the fish tacos only if you really want a fish taco Anyways, the inn itself is very nice, well kept, and the staff is courteous and pleasant.
This hotel is a nightmare to stay at. Only some of the rooms are air conditioned (a fact that is NOT made clear on the hotel's website), which means that if you are staying in a non-air conditioned room, you are basically forced to sleep with your windows open. This would be fine, except the rooms lack decent window coverings and you can hear Every. Single. Sound. from the street. Essentially, good luck sleeping in past 7 unless you bring ear plugs.
The service was also not what one would usually expect from a luxury hotel. No one offered to help us with our bags (the guy standing next to the front door of the hotel didn't even come to the car to help us get them out of the trunk). Parking was also difficult to access and far from the hotel.
Save your money and stay elsewhere.
The staff at this the Cypress Inn are unbelievable. They go out of their way to help. Katie at the front desk, we wanted to adopt and take home, she is such a pleasant person. Jimmy the restaurant manager, has made the food and service at this restaurant second to none. I had the salmon and it was the best I have ever had, and I travel a lot.
