Happy Landing Inn

Built in 1926, the Happy Landing is ideally situated……a short stroll to either the white sands of Carmel’s renowned beaches or those quaint downtown shops.

The English style design embodies the Hansel and Gretel charm of an era gone... more

We ended up in what had been the "maid's quarters". The house itself was quaint and cute, but our room next to the street was worn and musty. I was appalled at the shower-it was about the size of one in a travel trailer. It didn't feel... read more

Innkeeper Response
The Happy Landing was built in 1926 as a private residence and many of our rooms have been converted from their original use. What was once the “maid’s quarters” is now our largest Queen room as it includes a separate sitting room. The shower measures approximately 3’ x 3’ and has a hand held massaging shower head for flexibility. We do provide soaps and shampoos to all of our rooms, any oversight by our housekeeper would have been remedied immediately had it been brought to our attention. Though we were completely full the weekend these guests stayed (the weekend of the AT&T golf Tournament), it is a policy of the Carmel Innkeepers Association to keep vacancy signs up as long as there are rooms available anywhere in town. This is done so guests looking for rooms in Carmel can stop at any Inn/Hotel and be directed to those locations with availability, saving them both time and frustration. We regret that our Inn was not a good fit for these guests.
