Location is excellent, walking distance to good restaurants and a nice park to walk through. Driving distance to great hikes and even more great restaurants. Beautiful nooks and crannies to play games or sit and relax. Fire pits to sit by. Wild flowers everywhere. Room were lacking decor so not super pretty but certainly clean and comfortable. Service and breakfast was wonderful.

I like this place a lot and wouldn't hesitate to go here again. It is a great value at this price. My one gripe is the bathroom. It is small and the shower was finicky, cramped, and too low for me. My 5'4" wife even complained about it. Otherwise, this place is pretty terrific.

We had a one night stay here last weekend. We were very warmly welcomed and were given detailed instructions on the services and directions to the room we chose. It was quiet but very convenient as there were many restaurants just 2 minutes drive away. Honestly, before choosing this place to stay for our trip, I read the comments from many other guests about this place. There were quite a few mixed opinions about the service, the rooms were not well soundproofed, etc. So when I arrived here I was a little worried because I had experienced a place where they were not enthusiastic in their work as well as treated me with racial discrimination. However, I was very happy and felt very peaceful when Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort was very warm in their service and professional in their business and treatment of their customers. We were so happy to wake up one morning in their breakfast room, a woman welcomed us very enthusiastically and prepared simple but nutritious dishes for us. We had a trip to explore the beautiful coastal roads and had a peaceful and comfortable place to rest. Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, prepared the bedroom, and served us a delicious breakfast at Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort.

Expedia property description was wrong and misleading! Description clearly specified room with kitchen, but hotel staff said that's not the case. You can bring your dog for $30/night, but there's literally no grass area in the "resort". Room does not have A/C, good thing we visited in winter. TV does not support streaming service like Netlix that you can login with your account.

Excellent, wonderful, slightly flawed

Our group of six cyclists love Carmel Valley Lodge. Staff are very personable and helpful. The lodge has a charm that the hotel chains cannot match. The locally roasted "Fog Cutter" coffee was excellent. The included breakfast was outstanding, freshly made, and had lots of variety. We would have rated five stars, but there were a few problems. The heater thermostat had a faulty switch that required switching it on and off a few times if the temperature setting changed. New batteries were needed for the mini-spit remote in one of the bedrooms, and a new battery was needed for a fire alarm in another bedroom...it kept beeping off an on throughout the night. I have every confidence the staff will quickly fix these problems.
