Carmel-by-the-Sea motels

Pros: Location

Cons: The noise was awful. The walls were paper thin. The door leaked air and noise camee in. I could hear the highway noise, my neighbor's baby crying and my neighbor snoring. The heater banged when on.

Pros: Great location, cute B&B-like quality

Cons: NO AC!! On a 100 degree weather, but no notice at all to guests beforehand OR at check in!! Smells like dog (it's dog friendly, another surprise!) I love dogs, but like, that needs to be stated upfront - and the rooms better never smell like other guests pets. Also, the guest next door left their poor pup alone in the room and the dog would not stop hauling (at 7:30am! On a Saturday) - I know that's not really on the hotel, but maybe tell guests to not leave dogs unattended in their room? Oh and again, also be VERY upfront about how pet friendly you're hotel is so that all guests are aware before booking.

Pros: balcony

Cons: Environment

Pros: Location. Friendly staff.

Cons: Facility was old. Not very private. Stayed in main hotel,not the cottages.

Pros: The service of the lady front desk realy professional care about customer

Cons: No complaint

Pros: My room was Quiet because it wasn't next to the highway; some friends had a room right next to highway...noisy.

Cons: I really, really wanted to stay in a cabin...but they were All under construction...not available.

Cons: No breakfast

Pros: Great room with river view and little terrace. The staff was really friendly and helpful.

Cons: Thought that the city center will be a bit closer, needed to walk around 40min to reach the main beach.

Pros: Enjoyed Carmel River Inn! The cottages are fun & private for dog lovers. Perfect location for Poodle day 2017! The front desk staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The cleaning staff are also friendly and fast. Definitely will stay again!

Cons: Stayed in cottage 17 is a tight squeeze. It's not quite updated like some of the other cottages reviewed. Cottage 17 needs some work. It gets super hot from the sun, so a blackout shade & A/C or fan on site is mandatory. (A fan is available upon request). Carpet is torn and old and needs replacing and the shower is very tight like a phone booth.

Pros: Small yet quite comfortable. Conveniently located off Hwy 1. Very pleasant staff, including their adorable cat who made us feel we were staying in a home away from.

Cons: I can’t think about anything I didn’t like. We spent two nights and off peak season (Fall) very few people while we were there. Just perfect for us.

Pros: Great location, for exploring south or north highway 1, Carmel, Pebble Beach and Monterey bay area. I am looking forward to going back in late spring 2020 after all the upgrades are completed and the new cabins are in place. Very pet friendly.

Pros: Our room opened out directly onto the Carmel River. A bird watcher's paradise!

Pros: The room was very clean including the bathroom. The beds were comfortable. The location is good right by the downtown and beach.

Cons: Breakfast was non-existent, it seemed like a trap to post free breakfast when the quality was poor. The staff was not very customer focussed

Pros: Breakfast was very light with basics. Excellent coffee machine. Fresh fruit was available. Parking was excellent on the forecourt in front of the rooms. Take time to stroll around the area and visit the Plaza 200 yds approximately from the Inn. Get a bite and a drink across the street at the Forge.

Cons: Breakfast room is small and cosy with a light choice of toast and cakes. A bit more variety in a cold selection like cheese or cold cuts would be nice. Some berries to mix with the cereal. Fresh fruit was available.

Pros: The television did not work and the receptionist tried and could not get it to work either. I requested a partial refund and she said she will ask owners. Haven’t received.

Pros: Clean comfortable suite. Nice view toward Point Lobos. Breakfast adequate. Would have been nice to have pool open during fall heatwave.

Pros: Only one positive and that was location. Walking distance to main shopping area.

Cons: Room appears to have started renovation and never finished. Missing mirror in main room so left wall with glue and holes. Holes in ceiling from old ceiling fans or light fixtures never patched. Multiple thermostats, NONE operational. Shower broken and must be run with tub on full and not draining to get enough water through the shower. Black bugs. Staff was unhelpful and downright shady. For $400 a night my expectations were higher than a sleazy motel.

Cons: Did not have a mini fridge in our room even though it was stated that there was.

Pros: Breakfast was good, the location was excellent! Room was very clean! Service was friendly and professional.

Cons: Soda machine only accepted quarters. Parking is a little tight. (Cramped)

Pros: Location

Cons: Needs to be updated. Very old bedding and everything looked like they were slapped together from grandmas attic.

Pros: The inn was older and the lovely furniture was often an antique and window treatments all custom! Bathrooms were updated and well done. Fantastic location. Best of all, however, was the lovely woman who runs the inn!

Cons: Breakfast could be improved

Pros: Location

Pros: The facility was charming. Very sweet and welcoming. The room was small but very well appointed.

Cons: The TV didn’t work and it turned out to be unplugged. The cord was wrapped around the mounting and not obvious. The alarm clock went off at 6 am. Seems like housekeeping should check those details.

Pros: Good location, short walk to Ocean Ave. and there's a nice restaurant across the property. Peaceful and quiet night stay.

Cons: Our room was next to the tiny breakfast room, we started hearing the microwave, people going in & out and kids noises at 7:30am. Nothing can be seen from the window but wall, we checked-in at exactly 3:00.
