We liked this place very much. Beautiful surroundings, nice room, the most comfortable bed of our holiday. Free wine tasting every day. The village is only 5 minutes walking.

Alexander, Spain

Very nice place with beautiful room and great location.

Jana, United Kingdom

Great location close to wineries, restaurants and hiking, the pool, quietness. We stayed here once before and liked it. This place could really be a jewel with a professional hotel manager and staff, and a professional groundskeeper.

Michael, United States of America

Our room was huge. 3 bedrooms, kitchen, fireplace. It was great.

Cindy, United States of America

Not very friendly staff, dirty cigarettes in ashtray outside room, shabby interior. Final straw was the sign at pool. Something to the effect that if you have diarrhea at present or in past 14 days - not to swim!!!

“Rumble in the Jungle.”

- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The vegetation is out of control and doesn't look like it's been cared for or trimmed in some time. Lush? Yes! But more jungle than garden. A gardener could be there full time to get things back under control. Our room was right next to the pool and on Friday night some wedding party was loud and obnoxious way past 12:00AM. (Quiet time is supposed to be after 10PM). Where was the night crew? If you want a restful night, I'd make sure to avoid rooms 4-9 and the associated units above them The pool itself was clean but on the cool side. It was OK on a 90 degree day. The hot tub was NOT HOT!
눇The staff was courteous but not effusive. The room was clean and tidy. They had an 'adequate' breakfast. The coffee was excellent, but other than the toaster, there were no other hot items offered. Was expecting large larger room size and amenities for the price point. Of course this is Carmel.

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • King Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉We booked three rooms for three nights via Booking.com for an annual Carmel Valley girls get-away. This property should not be offered on Booking.com until they completely redo their landscape and facilities (the rooms were just OK, dated, but OK). The photos on their website are totally misleading. All, and I mean all, the plants, trees, grass, etc were dead or dying, it was in such a state of disrepair that we canceled our stay after one night and moved to a new hotel, for the same price I might add. The Carmel Valley Lodge was absolutely the worst I have ever seen. We were very disappointed in the misrepresentation of the property on the website and Booking.com
눇The only good thing about the hotel was the front desk attendant. She was delightful and very accommodating as we requested an early departure.

눉The "light continental breakfast" only offers sweet things. The showerhead is very low. With my 6 feet 4, it reaches to my navel. Nice balcony and pool.

“$122 for a 2 hour stay. Never again! Staff needs some hospitality training.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • King Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉A lot could have been better! As it was I only stayed 2 hours. First of all, I arrived early and the front desk person said "No check-in until 3p". I asked them to call me if a room became available before 3p. They called around 1:30. While I was waiting I used the pool. I asked to use a restroom and they said "Ours is out of order, but there is a gas station down the street." Are you kidding? There was no drinking water available at the pool on this rather hot day, just an empty cooler. When I finally got checked in and in my room it sounded like a herd of elephants was above me. They offered to move me, by this time I had had enough and left. I am a frequent traveler and this was some of the worst customer service I have ever encountered. It was if the woman at the desk had no concept she was in the hospitality industry.
눇The pool water was clean and the temperature refreshing.

눉Blinds in room broken, room poorly decorated for a $200 a night place. Breakfast was just plain sad, most reviews led us to believe it was all vegan when they really had cheap cereal, a weak ass fruit salad and some eggs with cows milk.

“Quiet bargain but unpleasant surprises abound!”
- • Leisure trip

눉Cobwebs everywhere, squashed dead fly stuck to the window in the bedroom, construction dust coming from the room next-door, workers pushing wheelbarrows full of dirt back-and-forth in front of us while lounging at the pool, no pool towels, half-finished landscape projects everywhere, overgrown weeds and grass everywhere as if there were no regular groundskeeper, the room was not dusted, and, after we received permission for a late checkout of 1 PM, another person woke us up at the pool and rudely told us we had to leave early. We refused! That's all!
눇Great location close to wineries, restaurants and hiking, the pool, quietness. We stayed here once before and liked it. This place could really be a jewel with a professional hotel manager and staff, and a professional groundskeeper.

눉A bit unkempt. Paths and decks not swept. No coffee making facilities in room. Bathroom floor not cleaned thoroughly. Dust in corners and underneath radiator
눇Room and location in valley close to wine tasting and good hiking. Only 20 minutes to Carmel-by-the-Sea.

눉The pool was closed. This was the main reason for booking this hotel. Would have been good to know in advance, or even given some drinks / snacks to compensate. No drinks / snacks sold on site.

“A serene stay”
- • Solo traveler
- • King Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉I have to say that the landscaping esp. in the front of the lobby building has sadly been let go, needs pruning and cleaning and has deteriorated quite a bit which was disappointing to see. The lobby seemed to be a bit make shift. Minuses were cobwebs on all the steps leading to the second floor, a sliding door that did not lock (they moved me to the room next door), loose outlets that don't hold plugs, a floor lamp with no knob to turn it on, a TV that in spite of posted instructions would not produce a working channel and no coffee maker! I really missed being able to have a cup of tea or coffee at my leisure in the room or on the deck. There is no one in office after 8:00PM. A phone number is provided if you need assistance.
눇I've stayed at Carmel Valley Lodge several times in the past. This was my first stay since new ownership. The Pool, jacuzzi, second floor balcony room with decks and chair looking onto pool and mountains are all a definite bonus in my book. This place is quiet and serene. A great little oasis. There have been some changes since previous owner and they are renovating. I love this place and would definitely come back. The vibe here is pretty casual. The pool and jacuzzi area are inviting and clean and lovely cabanas have been added along the sides of the pool deck. My room was clean and the bed was wonderfully comfortable, the view from my room was lovely. The wonderful functioning fireplaces with wood and a smores set up have been replaced by electric fireplace boxes which I completely understand. It's safer, cleaner and less polluting though it was a novelty and so nice to have a real fire. Every room I've stayed in prior to this visit had a little kitchenette area. No stove but coffee maker, microwave, sink and fridge. I hope they will not eliminate these amenities.
