Pros: Firstly the Getaway is a motel, a refurbished motel to be fair but a motel none the less. There is free wine and snacks during happy hour but if you don't drink then...
Cons: Should you want to spend a night in a non air conditioned room, listening to your neighbours talking and your upstairs neighbour every step and movement then this is the place for you. Also, arriving and finding no parking in their lot but being told you can park on the street, pull out on the street and there is nowhere to park. The morning was fun, people travel with their dogs and so you hear them waking up too, since you can hear everything in all other rooms and people packing their cars. Then the best noise, the plumbing rattles also. All in all, the most expensive place we have stayed on our holiday is also the worst.Noise, no parking, no air conditioning, poor water pressure, slow internet.

Pros: Convenient location within walking distance to town.

2.0 Mediocre
Pros: The watermelon at brunch was good
Cons: Paid LOTS of money for a room with a king size bed. This place is NOISY. The sound of people flushing their toilets or running their showers is incredible. The banged up used furniture in our room needs replacing. Knobs were missing from the end tables and chest. The upholstery on the two chairs were pathetic.
We parked on the street because this hotel does not have enough parking spaces to accommodate guests.
WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN.

Pros: Terrific location with a short walk to the stores and restaurants of Carmel, or a short drive to Pebble Beach. Private, quiet spot with clean, crisp and romantic rooms (some with fireplaces). Very friendly and helpful staff - swing by the lobby for wine and cheese in the evening. My only issue was the thin walls - we could hear the "activities" in the next room. Otherwise a great stay, comfortable, classic, and well located.

Pros: This place is so dreamy! We stayed at the Vagabond to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary and it was simply perfect. Staff was very warm and welcoming and loved the special touches with the welcome wine/cheese and champagne in our room. We even decided to get takeout just so we could enjoy the room and its amenities (fire place and big soak tub). It was also walking distance to restaurants, stores and the beach. I'd highly recommend this hotel for anyone that's looking to rest and relax.

Pros: Beautifully , comfortable , well appointed rooms Friendly service Lovely freestanding bath and fireplace . Sociable early evening meet up for guests in reception area with complimentary cheese and wine .
Cons: Carmel in general is expensive , and Vagabond Hideaway is too. Would prefer hot drinks maker or kettle in the room - there is a coffee machine in reception but it is only open during the day and early evening so not available for night owls and jet lagged Brits ! Tasty breakfast served in room each morning but coffee served with it was poor .

Pros:
Cons: While we thought we rec'd a decent deal at $360 for a single night for a deluxe king room, a day before our trip i noticed a similar king room for $100 less. Figuring i would just get a better room with a view, i was disappointed to learn that the room had no view and just a gas fireplace. I mentioned the discrepancy in the rates, but they only suggested that we should have booked directly instead and called in first to verify the rates and the available rooms.

Pros: The location was great and ambiance/atmosphere overall was relaxing and beautiful. LOVED the chocolate covered strawberries provided! The room was clean, a nice size and I loved the fireplace and fountain that added to the stay.

7.9 Good
Pros: Location was great. Fireplace was cozy.
Cons: Our room was right next to the stairs and you could hear people going up and down the stairs. It was quite loud. We could also hear the party above us as they walked across the room. The person seemed very heavy footed. Not sure if this was the case or if walking above just makes a lot of noise.

Cons: The lobby was a little spartan, so I was afraid the rooms would be too. They were NOT.

Pros: Hotel tried to portray a high end experience by providing milk and cookies at check in. Wine reception in the evenings. Turndown Servive at night and a decent breakfast buffet that is included.
Cons: Their premier ocean view rooms looked like a holiday In or 3 star hotel at the best. Very poor design and ambiance. Bad holiday in furniture , plastic trees and plants. I expected more for $500 per night, at least rooms that looked better. Also, rooms have no balconeys and hotel does not have a jacuzzi. It is possible that the hotel is offering value for the budget traveller (hard to imagine at over $500 per night). I did notice that better hotels where 30% more expensive when I was in Carmel. I would have preferred to pay about 30% more for better accomadations.

5.4 Okay
Pros: The view was nice, but that was mostly thanks to Carmel being stunning.
Cons: Very noisy! Don’t underestimate the other reviews. They’ve got an old steam-based heating system that has a ton of air in it. As a result, you will get woken up all throughout the night to loud banging noise, like someone is taking a hammer to a steal pipe. The sound is coming out of the heater in the room. Do not choose this hotel if you want a good nights sleep.
Also very dated rooms. The quality of the room is about what you’d expect from a Travelodge, it does not in any way live up to the $400+ price tag.

Pros: Cute little place, great location.
Cons: No AC or fan in the rooms (there is heating). It generally doesn't get too hot in Carmel, but for those of us who are naturally warm and need a little AC (or at least a fan)going to sleep well at night, it was disappointing. Everything else was good.

Cons: The AC/refrigeration unit from the market/deli next door is somewhat loud and is on 24 hours. It's a white noise so I was able to kind of tune it out, but be aware if you're someone who's sensitive to that type of thing.

Pros: The location was excellent. All of Carmel by the Sea was easily walkable. Lots of restaurants and shops close by. The property itself was very nice. Very clean and up-to-date.

Pros: Beautiful view from balcony and great sunset. Nice comfortable modern room. Good wifi. Very good breakfast included. Near 17 miles road , Monterey and Big Sur road.

Cons: The only issue I had was not their fault. Google maps directed me to the rear of the property on a tiny side street. Carmel apparently doesn't allow a lot of street and sign lighting so it wasn't easy finding my way around. The downtown is really very nice and the lack of harsh lights and giant signs is part of what keeps it nice. But, if at all possible, arrive before sundown to get a feel for the layout of the town because after dark you'll be flying blind.

Cons: We had a dispute with the two clerks on duty regarding our reservation: they thought that we had reserved three rooms while in fact we had only two. After a cordial greeting, the discussion turned into arguments. In the end we found that they have misread our reservation. No apologies were offered. Some patience and a simple "sorry" would have helped.

Staff were very nice and could not do anymore to make you stay better. Nice little breakfast available in the mornings to get you going for the day.
Cons: We stayed below someone who had no issues being as loud as they could. Because of this we were woken very, very early. If you can, ask for a room on the top floor to avoid this.

Pros: We loved the beds! Most comfortable beds ever! The decor and walking convenience was also very nice!
Cons: Our only complaint is the bathroom - the shower had no pressure of any kind and we couldn’t get it to turn off all the way so it would drip. The lights in the bathroom had a sensor so if you used the restroom in the night, you wake the rest of the family up without question.

Pros: The location is very close to the sea, nice to hear the waves crashing and the living room / breakfast room are very pleasant. Bedding was also quite comfortable! Quiche for breakfast and plentiful fresh berries.
Cons: The walls are paper thin. We heard EVERYTHING our neighbors said and did, and every time someone walked around upstairs it woke us up. Reception closes at night so there is nobody to help monitor noise from other guests. Also, our shower didn’t really work so we took baths. A nice change of pace but inconvenient as I’d hoped to wash my hair! In general our room was just a bit dated and not so pleasant. If you call, avoid room 2! I peeked into other rooms and they were all much nicer. The location is lovely but just a bit too far to walk into carmel center for dinner. It was a bit of a drag to have to drive.

After I checked out, she refused my request to use the public toilet in this hotel. And then came out to say sorry later because she forgot we were their client. I think I just see the different faces by accident. And I know they have the right to refuse after I check out.

Pros: its a great place
Cons: American house - wood - you hear everything through the walls

Pros: Great location, and free parking. Free newspaper in the morning. That's it.
Cons: This hotel is unsafe. Fire exits on upper floors were blocked, and when the staff was notified of this they did... NOTHING. Rooms are poorly maintained, and there is really funky decor, like a gigantic hole in the back of the TV hutch. Tacky. 2 stars.
9.1 Excellent
Pros: Close to every restaurant you'd ever want and walking distance to the beach.
Staff were incredibly kind and accommodating.
Cons: Low ceilings meant that I kept hitting my head and hands on the ceiling fan.
The view was not great and there was some kind of industrial restaurant motor running all night.
Plus, the room was incredibly hot, even when it was nice and cool outside.

Pros: Beautiful lobby.

Cons: Room was VERY warm, even with the radiator off. The windows had to be completely open throughout our stay, day and night, for comfort.
Walls and floors are thin, as often true in older hotels -- you will hear some walking and talking from above and next door.

Pros: Our first night we had problems with the heater with our room. We called the front desk the following morning and they immediately offered us a different room when they determined the problem may take awhile to address (it was unusually cold for a few days). The new room was in their premium building. Large room, extremely comfortable. The front office staff was very nice throughout our stay. They have a continental breakfast that they deliver to you every morning at a time you specify. Excellent location for walking to restaurants and shops. A grocery/deli was 2 blocks away. A very nice laundromat was about 3 blocks away. Monterey Cannery Row was about a 15 min drive.

Pros: Amazing stay! Such a cute little lodge with exceptional service. Our description was a petite queen room so to be honest, we were expecting a small room but it honestly surprised us. The room easily fit two people comfortably. We had a fire place (bonus!), Thermostat, a fully equipped bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion. The bed was extremely comfortable- slept like a baby! Ample parking for guests and also coffee and tea station at reception was an awesome bonus as well. Staff were wonderful! On our first night, our lighter didn't work and we called up reception and got one sent to our room straight away. We were so sad to leave on our last day. I highly recommend this place! You won't regret it.

We live in the 21st century where technology and science are at its peak. The host or person who worked in the front (Gita) was not apologetic, nor were we informed about the situation. Such an expensive stay with mediocre service and hospitality. When we told her that we took cold showers, she was like ohh well I didn’t because I woke up early...like wow....

Pros: The proximity to Ocean Ave made it ideal for walking.

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.

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.
