Pros: Rooms are beautiful. Vanity makeup area to get ready in, and spacious shower. Bed was extremely comfortable, almost the same as my bed from home. Staff had superb customer service skills and went above and beyond to make our stay easier. Rooftop sun deck gives amazing views down the coast from a jacuzzi! Would definitely come back again.
Cons: Nothing!

Pros: This place is amazing. Although ostensibly it doesn't look over the top, it is a quietly classy place. Our receptionist, Tiana, helped us throughout our stay and she is the sweetest and most accommodating representative (although everyone we met just went over the top, from the concierge to the bellhops to Ryan the cars concierge). The rooms are huge. They easily fit all of the stuff for our 8 month old with tons of room to spare. His packnplay was no issue at all. Everything is very clean and it was quiet and relaxing. We ordered room service , and it was pricey as expected, but the food was DELICIOUS! I doubt we would have found better food elsewhere - the crab cake Eggs Benny was delicious! We checked out and had our car brought around (valet parking is surprisingly included in the resort fee) and Ryan, our car concierge , told us if sightseeing (we were headed to the aquarium), to feel free to leave the car there, no problem, till 5. That was really nice and we did not have to worry about parking. Overall this is right on the end of cannery row and is apparently about a 10 minute walk from Fisherman's Wharf as well (we didn't have a chance to get down there). You can't beat the location, the customer service, or the amenities here. We would only stay here when coming back. Thank you!!
Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Very clean & well appointed. Nice live evening music. Convenient peet's coffee on premises. Nice outdoor firepit and beautiful "plaza area" / patio for all to use....very open-air views of the bay.
Cons: Spa facilities did not accomodate the numbers of people using, it very well. Overall,hotel was a bit over the top for our needs, and I hate always having to figure out tips without feeling like a cheapskate, but I guess that's just part of "high livin". On the whole ,staff was extremely understanding & accommodating of a few problems that arose and were more than fair in resolving them.

Pros: We loved being on the ocean. The location was fantastic for enjoying sea life and kayaking. We also liked the kindness of the staff.
Cons: The bed and the pillows could have been more comfortable. The cables around the balcony were also unsightly, but the view and ambience made up for it.

Pros: View was AMAZING! Bed and pillows were sooo comfortable! Bathroom was beautiful! Everyone was so friendly and went above and beyond!

Situated on the waterfront, this luxury hotel is steps away from Steinbeck's Spirit of Monterey Wax Museum, Cannery Row and Monterey Bay. Monterey Bay Aquarium and Fisherman's Wharf are also within 1 mile (2 km).

Not exactly what you would expect for a five star hotel. Although the rooms were clean, they were meh at best. Definitely nothing special. There was an nespresso coffee machine in the room which was nice but all they had were paper cups. I travel a lot for work so I have a lot to compare to and I think the only value that this hotel had was that it was conveniently located. The value vs. cost wasn’t there for me.

Pros: You can't beat the location- just a block away from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium and right on Cannery Row. Staff was all very nice and the facilities were top notch.
Cons: The restaurant was not pricey and not very good. This is a small complaint, as the view was outstanding and there are plenty of better places to eat within easy walking distance. Would have been nice if wifi was included with room.

5.1
Pros: The location is excellent It's a nice clean property right on cannery row Staff is very good
Cons: The rooms have a joint door and you can clearly hear the noise from the next room. In our case there was a baby crying the whole night and we couldn't sleep. On calling the helpdesk, the Manager offered us free breakfast. It was a good gesture to offer b/fast but the hotel should seriously think on the noise issue due to joining room doors. That design doesn't work. Also the swimming pool is very small and just for namesake.

Pros: This was a great location within walking distance of phenomenal dining and wine tasting rooms. Room was exceptional, the service excellent and the spa personnel accommodating. First deep tissue massage I ever tapped out for a slightly lesser pressure. We will return over and over again. You have to stay here when in Monterrey!
Cons: Nothing
Excellent
9.7
Pros: Lovely location right in the heart of Cannery Row and on the waterfront. This is not an inexpensive hotel but let's face it this is an InterContinental brand not a Motel 6. If you want to splurge this is a good choice however if you don't need a waterfront view and stay in the connected bldg. across the street you can get a room with a fireplace for less. I found this hotel to be relaxing and the staff helpful. Even without a waterfront room they have a large deck area looking out into Monterey Bay where you can sit in front of a fire pit with your friends or by yourself and sip your favorite beverage and enjoy the view and some down time from busy Cannery Row.
Excellent
10.0
Pros: You would think that a place this convenient on Cannery Row would skimp on the amenities but it does not. The rooms are incredibly spacious and lovely. The beds are incredibly comfortable, although the pillows are a tad too soft. The windows open - a rarity now days - letting in the sea breeze. And it's steps away from the Aquarium and plenty of shops / restaurants.

Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: I thought booking a hotel right next to the water that I could be hearing waves in the tranquility of the evening. Instead I hear cars and foot traffic because our room is all the way back and faces the garage. This hotel was almost three times the cost of any equivalent hotel if it wasn't next to the waves I didn't get to hear.

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: Normandy Inn is a charming small place, located on the main street in Carmel, close to everything, including the beach. We checked in into two rooms, both in good shape, recently renovated, clean, and comfortable. Mattresses were comfortable too. Breakfast was adequate: cereal, some pasties, fruit and hard boiled eggs.
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.

Pros: Amenities and style of room
Cons: During my stay there was construction being done to the hotel, normally that wouldn't bug me except they put me right next where it was and since I sleep with the windows open, constructure woke me up super early in the morning. Even with the windows closed I could still here it. I was on my anniversary with my way during that day and it Kindof put a damper on my experience, especially since I paid over $200 each night I was there.

Cons: Shards of glass on the room floor; freezing temperature when we walked into the room (heater was not on); once heater was turned on, had little to no effect, so we slept in bathrobes and ordered two extra blankets.

Pros: The hotel is a short walk to the pier.
Cons: There is a lot of construction around the hotel, which makes things loud and busy. We had to wait until after 5 to check in ad still didn't get what we had asked for. There was a large convention there and basically the staff told us that they couldn't do anything to accommodate us. We ended up with a room on a VERY busy street and a toilet paper rack that kept falling on the ground. I was really looking forward to this hotel and was disappointed.

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: 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.

9.1
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. Distant views of water from our second story room. Attached fine restaurant and cafe open in early morning for coffee, etc. Friendly staff Thorough daily cleaning staff
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.

5.1
Pros: staff was super friendly and the bed comfortable. location is close to the main street. breakfast in the room was nice (but only to the fact that there was no lounge or lobby, more pragmatic than anything else).
Cons: Walls paper thin, breakfast itself was nothing really, noise in the streets, bed quite small for a queen sized, curtains didn't close entirely, bathroom super small! Way too expensive for what you get. Pool was drained and looked horrible.

Pros: Convenient to shops and restaurants in downtown Carmel. The tray of coffee, tea, assorted berries, and croissants was fresh and delivered to the room slightly earlier than stated earlier at the time of check-in. For Carmel, it was a good place to stay for the price paid.
Cons: The heat was hard to control. The plumbing throughout the property is very noticeable particularly at the popular 6:30 awakening hour. The walls are not very well insulated; conversations within the building and outside on the street below can not be muted.
Excellent
8.8
Pros: The rooms were very clean and quaint. Balcony was a nice amenity. Wasn't very expensive at all and was perfect for a golf trip on a budget or just to have a centralized location to enjoy the town and beach--which was within walking distance.
Cons: Room could have had a little more space in it and a refrigerator and/or fireplace (like some of the others have) would have been nice but no complaints.

Pros: Perfect location in the heart Carmel. Center of all shops and restaurants. Slight ocean view in our room and could hear the waved when it was quiet at night. Great service, free breakfast delivered to your room, tremendously clean, cozy and comfortable.
Cons: The structure is outdated and the bathrooms feel very outdated, but you'll never really notice or care due to the 5 star cleanliness, service, location and value. Breakfast could be better, but right next to plenty of great places to eat that you can walk to.

Pros: The front office lady was superb and extremely helpful. Our room heating had some issues and she upgraded us immediately to a very comfortable room. Cosy and warm place, nothing fancy or ultramodern. Fits the feel or Carmel in general.

Pros: We were a little skeptical, but were pleasantly surprised! The staff was great, the room was very nice, the fire pit was fun and the breakfast was above average. Nice extra buffet touches like quiche and croissant egg and sausage sandwiches. Yogurt was in nice glassware and fresh cut up seasonal fruit, versus just bananas and apples and oranges. Like I said, were pleasantly surprised and will be back!

Pros: The service from Tom was the best I've ever experienced. He was extremely polite and very friendly. The property is beautiful and very quiet. A nice Romantic setting that is a short 15 min walk to all the shops. Gardens are beautiful and the firepit was a nice bonus.
Cons: Wish they had more wines in our room to choose from.

Pros: We upgraded to a King suite, which was a clean room, though not particularly sizable. Staff was very nice and efficient. It was a quick walk into town, and the grounds of the hotel were lovely.
Cons: There was also no refrigerator in our room, though we thought we saw one in another room. For our room being a suite and upgraded, the lack of the fridge was a little bizarre.

Pros: Beautiful. Clean. Friendly staff! Will come again but ask for a room that isn't close to the road.
Cons: Noise. You can't sleep with the window open due to to the cars on the road. No AC which wouldn't be a problem however noisey road had to close window.

7.4
Pros: We were spending the week exploring Carmel and this was a very convenient and clean-looking hotel. We'd read some reviews about the missing cheese hour, etc. and scoffed at people being weird about their missing amenities; generally if a place is clean and pleasant, I don't think there is much else to comment on. But I have to say, it was a sore disappointment that we booked two King rooms for two couples (a deluxe and suite) and in the early, cold November morning, I reached for the bathrobe I'd read so much about (it was constantly in the advertising for the King suites that there are these great thick robes) and saw...there was none. In either King room. So I'm listing the amenities as OK because honestly, it was really chilly in our room and I think that when you book deluxe king suites, they should come with bathrobes if that is advertised everywhere and it's quite chilly. I got ready that morning in my husbands sweater and we left the next day.

This place should be listed as a B&B. The breakfast is the best thing this place has to offer. The bed was comfortable too. And that's about all there is to this place. We were disappointed the moment we drove up on the place. The neighborhood is questionable and there is very limited on-site parking. We parked in the adjoining neighborhood. It's a hundred year old building. Some people will like that funkiness. The rooms are sparse and tiny. A single chair for the two of us and room for only one to pass around the bed. Hotels.com lists a fireplace and hot tub but that's deceitful. The fireplace is an electric heater with faux flames and the hot tub is the room's bathtub. The owner put too much money into the bathroom with marble floor to ceiling, a shallow jetted tub and add-on bidet on the toilet. The room does not have a fridge, microwave or coffee. You have to go downstairs to the dining room to get coffee and it's served in pretentious, small tea cups. We had leftover thanksgiving dinner out but could not bring it back to the room as there is no microwave available. The desk clerk said the owner "does not believe in microwaves". This owner put a lot of money into a hotel so he could feature a fine-dining breakfast and it was a good breakfast. That breakfast doesn't make up for all this place is lacking. He should have been a restraunteur and not a hotelier. This place should have been a B&B as it has none of the features of a hotel and all the charm of a boarding house.

Pros: Breakfast was amazing. the staff was very nice and accommodating. the bathroom had a bidet and a Jacuzzi tub which I indulged in. They had a 'happy hour' where you could have snacks and a drink which was all complimentary.
Cons: The heater and the TV didn't seem to want to work together. It shorted the main room twice so I had to notify the front desk. The bed had a hair in it that wasn't mine. The location is right on the main road, but the noise didn't bother me too much.

Pros: The location was nice. Everything was very clean.
Cons: There was no clearly marked parking. The room was super noisy, especially as they entertained guests at the rooftop bar, and as they cleaned up the bar after the end of the night. And as they started to serve breakfast. The room was old and rather amateurish, with mismatched paint, dented walls, a partially-functioning TV, and a jacked-up door handle. Also, the bed was super uncomfortable. It was like sleeping in a bounce house. For the price, I expected a much nicer facility.

Pros: Very clean and loved the Jacuzzi tub and heated floors, the beds were super comfortable and I loved the in wall fireplace. The bathroom was very nice and the staff was more than kind. The Complementary breakfast was amazing. It was even better than the breakfast we've paid for
Cons: Though I loved how close we were to Cannery Row and how easily accessible it was to everything, the cars driving by in the morning was a little loud. Also, the rooftop restaurant was a little loud at times when we were in our room because we were right underneath but not enough to make me not want to stay there again.
Excellent
9.1
Pros: We loved this place. It was different but really fun. The decor was so cute and quirky and the staff was great. Loved the breakfast in the morning and the complementary happy hour drink on the rooftop lounge which overlooks the ocean. It was easily within walking distance of the wharf and the beach which was right across the street. The bathroom in our room was amazing! Great shower and jet tub with heated floors. We will be back for sure.
Cons: The room was a little small but we didn't mind. The bed was too soft for my boyfriend and we will make adjustments for that next time. The only parking is on the street but we always found something close and we were able to leave our car their and walk most places so it wasn't that big of an issue.
