Carmel Valley Lodge

The room was very nice with its own little patio with a nice shade umbrella. The grounds are every garden's dream. The pool was great as well as the walking trails. The breakfast wasn't your typical cont. breakfast it was much more. Deviled eggs, fruit parfait and fully loaded oatmeal and blueberry muffins. A good way to start your day of exploring.

This place is wonderful!! It’s quaint, well kept and walking distance to restaurants, wine tasting and great coffee shops. The staff are most friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend a stay. A nice ancillary benefit is a tasty breakfast.

What a charming, delightful experience. Our first time at the CVL, we had a room with a balcony overlooking the heated pool, which was lovely. If you enjoy nature, get Room 15 because there is a snag not 20 feet from the chairs on the balcony where a variety of birds perch all day long. Bring your binoculars. A 10-minute walk or 1-minute drive finds you in Carmel Valley Village among unique shops and yummy restaurants. Our bed was super comfy, pillows too, the room is large with a sliding glass door. The best feature of the CVL was the service! Theresa, Jenny, Yvonne, and all the staff went out of their way to please. Do the yoga class with Theresa, it is wonderful. The breakfast was really good, waffle-maker, yogurt parfaits, eggs, fruit, toast, good coffee, and more - included in the price of the room. And the property itself - a gardener's paradise! Flowers and garden art abound! Just 12 miles inland from Carmel-by-the-Sea, the village is nestled between gorgeous mountains with beautiful views, sunnier weather, and a feeling of warm community.

We booked a room an hour before getting there, but I forgot to tell them that I had a broken leg. This beautiful Spanish missionary style inn is set terracing down a hill across from the beach. We quickly realized I was not gonna be able to walk the flights of stairs to get to my room. So they accommodated me with an even more beautiful king size room with a sunroom overlooking the beach. That was a lovely surprise.

Super cute inn. Love the setting. The staff are so friendly! We appreciated being able to get some quick eats in the morning before starting our day. The fire pits looked sooo inviting but we were to tuckered out at the end of the day to get out there at night and enjoy them.

Interminable check-in by an inquisitorial gatekeeper glued to his computer, a decent but unremarkable room, no safe in the room nor even a simple toothbrush glass, a shower in an old-school bathtub, and in the room, a speculoos cookie sold for a dollar!!! Finally, the most awful breakfast I’ve ever had in a hotel—served on paper plates and in cardboard cups. In short, glad to leave for a real hotel that doesn’t feel like a summer camp lodging.
