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.

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. The rooms were nice. The breakfast hostess was very friendly and accommodating.
Cons: The woman at the front desk was not very welcoming. Then they gave us these lovely chocolate covered strawberries, which we were going to enjoy later, leaving them sealed. The next morning they took them back! My daughter went down and told them we wanted those, and the lady said, well we do that for a welcome and if you don't eat them, we take them away! Instead of offering a replacement and a woops, she proceeded to tell my daughter to tell us not to park in their upper lot. I went to this hotel when I was a child. I loved the owners and their poodle. We even write letters after I left. They did not carry on the same spirit of hospitality. For the price, would have thought the breakfast would be better than continental (plus quiche) but they did not advertise that, just saying.

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.

Pros: My wife and I stayed here over President's Day for a long weekend. The staff are top-level...offering assistance at every opportunity, exceptionally friendly...they understand that the property requires that level of service. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Bathrooms are fine if not huge. Everything is very clean. Tasty breakfast options included in room rate including the option of in-room or courtyard dining...we did the latter one morning. Location is <1 block from Ocean Avenue, the main street in Carmel-By-The-Sea, so uber convenient. No onsite parking, but they will move your car around the streets to avoid a parking ticket...not ideal but this is downtown Carmel.

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: 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: Such a cute, cosy hotel we needed to end our trip in America. We had originally booked 1 room for 2 adults and 2 children but upon checking in, I was able to get a second room with no notice. 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.

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: 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.

Like I said, were pleasantly surprised and will be back!

Pros: Sweet old travel Lodge that has been somewhat updated. We loved it's charming appeal. We were in a premium queen room on the first floor, it was very clean. All three staff members we encountered we genuinely friendly and interested in making our stay the best possible. Great location - 8 blocks from the ocean, many restaurant choices within 6 blocks.
Cons: The only difficulty was a lack of easy access to electrical outlets. The only 2 that we could find to use were the ones that housed the hair dryer and microwave. Not a big deal, just a bit surprising.

Pros: Great location, cute B&B-like quality
Cons: NO AC!! On a 100 degree weather, but no notice at all to guests beforehand OR at check in!! Smells like dog (it's dog friendly, another surprise!) I love dogs, but like, that needs to be stated upfront - and the rooms better never smell like other guests pets. Also, the guest next door left their poor pup alone in the room and the dog would not stop hauling (at 7:30am! On a Saturday) - I know that's not really on the hotel, but maybe tell guests to not leave dogs unattended in their room? Oh and again, also be VERY upfront about how pet friendly you're hotel is so that all guests are aware before booking.

I liked it being so close to my Dad in The Cottages of Carmel. He is in Hospice so It was a well needed rest. I will be staying there again when I really need to. Thanks again. Marcia Xoxoxo

Cons: Stayed in cottage 17 is a tight squeeze. It's not quite updated like some of the other cottages reviewed. Cottage 17 needs some work. It gets super hot from the sun, so a blackout shade & A/C or fan on site is mandatory. (A fan is available upon request). Carpet is torn and old and needs replacing and the shower is very tight like a phone booth.

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....

3,0 Mediocre
Pros: The proximity to Ocean Ave made it ideal for walking.
Cons: We rented a second room when we arrived. The Television in our room did not work. They attempted to fix it and could not. The second room, the toilet would not flush properly and the shower did not drain. It was a poor experience.
7,0 Good
Pros: The room was very clean including the bathroom. The beds were comfortable. The location is good right by the downtown and beach.
Cons: Breakfast was non-existent, it seemed like a trap to post free breakfast when the quality was poor. The staff was not very customer focussed
8,0 Excellent
Pros: Friendly staff during times of crisis. Offered rolls for breakfast instead of full breakfast. I understand, no staff to make it. Otherwise, great stay and will return.
Cons: No full breakfast because of Coronavirus. Nobody's fault.
1,0 Poor
Pros: Carmel is gorgeous
Cons: We reserved Carmel Inn and Suites, but after checking in we were told that this hotel was closed and were switched to Carmel Oaks inn and Suites. We were reluctant, but proceeded to Carmel Oaks. Once there, we were greeted by a not so friendly front desk person and I asked for 2 beds as that is what we reserved. Went to the room and we found 1 bed and a pull out. Went back to the front desk person and he explained that’s all they had and go back to the original property. We had been traveling a while and one person in our party volunteered for the pullout to avoid additional hassle. Later upon pulling out the couch, we found black mold on the bedding and obviously a foul smell. We had to call for new bedding and the attendant just laid them on the bed and walked away. No offer to make the bed or even apologize. Between the “bait and switch” and black mold, I don’t recommend anyone stay here.

Pros: Good location and helpful staff. Nice size room for the money.

Pros: Good location, short walk to Ocean Ave. and there's a nice restaurant across the property. Peaceful and quiet night stay.
Cons: Our room was next to the tiny breakfast room, we started hearing the microwave, people going in & out and kids noises at 7:30am. Nothing can be seen from the window but wall, we checked-in at exactly 3:00.
The Carmel Inn & Suites is located in the beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, only minutes from the downtown shopping center and the beach. The property is also only a 5 minute drive from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
With a stay at Carmel Wayfarer Inn in Carmel (Northwest Carmel), you'll be a 5-minute drive from Carmel Mission Basilica and 5 minutes from Carmel Beach. Featured amenities include express check-in, express check-out, and multilingual staff. Free self parking is available onsite.

Pros: Location was great. Room was clean premises were clean
Cons: I didn’t like the fact that there was no microwave in the room that was a huge negative. And there is no table of any sort to eat on in the room. And there’s also no ashtrays outside for people that smoke so you see cigarette but sometimes laying in the street
