Carmel-by-the-Sea Motels

Pros: The hotel was spotless perfect in every way breakfast lovely and the early evening wine and snacks a pleasant bonus. All the staff were attentive and very accommodating

Cons: Everything

Pros: Location and cleanliness

Cons: No

Cons: It was extremely expensive and not good value

Pros: Was not expecting the breakfast or the wine and cheese in the afternoon! We did not take advantage of the breakfast, but did enjoy the wine and cheese....the rooms were spotless, and very well appointed! Great boutique hotel....

Cons: Probably would have liked air conditioning, but easily survived it.. Also, unfortunately for our visit the fire place wasn't working....

Pros: Breakfast was incredible, coffee was out of this world, loved the happy hour and the location was second to none! Loved that the hotel was pet friendly. Can't wait to come back.

Cons: No air conditioner in rooms.

Pros: The locatiin was good

Cons: The room was so cold. I slept wearing my fleece. In the morning, it was annoying that so much noise from the street was got into my ears!

Pros: Rooms exceptionally clean and well appointed.

Cons: No A/C...and although windows open, there were no screens.

Cons: We checked into the hotel later in the evening and the staff did not tell us there’s was no hot water working in the entire hotel. The next morning when we were checking out and I politely told them the hot water in our room was not working, and she just said, “oh there isn’t hot water in our hotel right now.” No apology, no discount- nothing!! $300 a night, you get a cold shower. Never will return again.

Pros: Well located Friendly staff Good breakfast Comfy beds

Pros: The staff, the bed, the room design, the breakfast and the bubbles at 4pm!

Cons: Not a thing.

Cons: Loved this Place. The best hotel we have had so far on our trip. The breakfast is delicious and served on proper plates; not plastic. I absolutely recommend this hotel.

Pros: I believe the description mentioned on site restaurant but there wasn’t one. However the manager pointed nearby restaurants out to us

Cons: Would have liked a bath not just a shower

Cons: Bathroom water pressure, bed pillow

Pros: Great value for the price. Clean, comfy cottages, staff was very friendly. The outdoor seating area was a nice way to relax at the end of a busy day.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything was so lovely and pleasant. The territory is so nice. I fell in love with all these tiny houses and flowers. I liked everything in our house especially that armchair like Joe had in the series “the friends”.

Cons: It was a little bit cold during the night but the owner took care (we had additional blanket and even heater). So we didn’t have any complaints? It’s just an autumn in Carmel

Pros: quiteness

Cons: was given wrong room to start with

Pros: Location

Cons: Dirty dated

Pros: Quaint, adorable, lovely staff

Cons: Nope!

Pros: it had a bed?... only one, for 3 of us, though.

Cons: We made a reservation for a "One-Bedroom King Cottage" which showed up in a search for a family of 3: 2 adults and a child; Pictures were nice - they showed sitting areas with fireplaces, extra beds in the rooms, close-ups of kitchenettes with drawers full of dishes and silverware, a cozy pond in the garden and other wonderful amenities. Upon arrival, we were given a "tired" looking studio room with a king-size bed and a rocker chair. No rollaway bed, nor alternative room was available; we had to run to the nearest store and buy an inflatable mattress. The king-size mattress provided felt like it's 20 years old, a tiny fridge with a microwave on it representing a "kitchenette" was rumbling all night, chip synthetic throw was served as a blanket, the heater didn't work... All this beauty, including an empty pond in the common area, was priced around $300, same as much nicer hotels in Carmel. In 20 years we have been visiting Carmel, never did we have such poor experience.

Pros: no breakfast was included. location was inconvenient, too far to walk and hard to park and to locate the place was even harder

Cons: place needs major update, bathroom is too small and tub surround leaked water onto floor. Bed was great

Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpful

Cons: Facilities are little shabby, location is not great, but ok for the price.

Pros: Parking was good, beds were comfortable and staff was nice.

Cons: Location was not walking distance to anything had to drive to get to restaurants, downtown Carmel. Room was very hot during the day.

Pros: Big room. beds are comfortable. Heating in the room is okay.

Cons: No heating in the sitting room, it is cold there. Not too far to downtown, but still needs to drive, it’s too dark around in the evening. No breakfast, need to go to downtown.
