We had a very pleasant stay at Carole's Bed and Breakfast Inn. She is lovely, helpful and delightful to talk with but not intrusive. The Inn is located in a beautiful part of San Diego that is great for walking. There are a number of excellent restaurants within walking distance. We hope to go back soon.

Carole's Bed and Breakfast, located in the North Park section of San Diego is a real "find". In fact I have stayed at Carole's twice . I found Carole's has all necessary ingredients to provide a comfortable stay. My room was quiet, spotlessly clean and included several thick towels and a comfy bed. There are quiet places to sit outside... More

We stayed at Carole's bed and breakfast during the first week of January. The studio was perfect for us - a spacious room with a king-sized bed, couch, chairs, coffee table in a sitting area, and a small kitchen area. When we arrived our host Carole made us feel comfortable and welcome. We made a special request and it was... More

I stayed at Carole's Bed & Breakfast Inn for a month and I liked it very much. It is well located, near downtown, Balboa Park and Balboa Zoo. The crew is just amazing, they are gentle, relaxed and very nice. The place is clean and breakfast is good. It's not pricy at all and I would have no doubt of... More

I need to put in a plug for the breakfasts at Carole's - amazing! Her son Michael is an artist of breakfasts. I've never had such tasty, plentiful breakfasts anywhere I've stayed, and I'm a seasoned traveler. Michael is a breakfast chef extraordinaire, whose creations are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate. Bravo Michael!

I booked two rooms for four adults with a few days' notice at Carole's, the only inn available since Balboa Park was crowded for an event that weekend. Carole's place is a quaint, homely place in a quiet neighborhood in North Park. It reminds me of the wonderful, welcoming Last Homely House described by Tolkien. In many ways, Carole made... More

I couldn't have asked for better service or accommodations. The staff were incredibly friendly and made sure that every need was taken care of immediately. One morning we needed to leave before breakfast was served. We mentioned it to Carole and crew the morning before and they actually got around an hour earlier just to make sure we could enjoy...

As a Norwegian couple, this was our first visit to San Diego (and California in general) and we couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Clean room, home cooked breakfast, nice and relaxed conversations with the other guests, helpfull staff (Carole and Mike) and a short ride from everything. We highly recommend Carole's Bed & Breakfast Inn and will... More

We loved our stay here. This was our first time staying at a Bed & Breakfast and what a difference from a hotel! Carole and Michael were warm, witty and welcoming, the beds were comfortable, the rooms were extremely clean, and the location is close to everything. The meals were delicious, and paired with excellent conversation, made our stay outstanding.... More
