We like the overall experience at Contenta: it feels like a small, semi-rustic resort as much as it does a mid-century modern upgraded motel. Many of the renovations done a couple of years ago are tastefully done. The breakfast choices-- though limited-- are high quality, with pastries of a standard one might expect in France (and I'm in France as often as twice a year). The manager, Miranda, is also a gem: she always finds a way to be especially helpful. The location-- with views of surrounding hills, walking distance to restaurants in the heart of Carmel Valley, is ideal.
Surrounded by large flower gardens, this lodge offers a seasonal outdoor pool from May to October. Carmel-by-the-Sea is 15 minutes’ drive away.

The grounds are beautiful and the pool / hit tub a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. The bed was THE MOST COMPORTABLE bed we’ve ever slept in. The staff is exceptionally nice.

It was such a magical place full of restaurants, wineries, and cute cafes. I especially enjoyed the community vibe there. The community park, the history center and the library were nice surprises. It was neat to learn a bit of history about the village. My kid loved it too.

Beautiful weather and location - reasonable distance from SF for a nice getaway. Wish we could have organized a horseback riding trip or something but couldn't get my act together... need to reserve several days in advance.

We mostly drove up here to see Big Sur but ended up spending some time in Carmel Valley. We were only here for one morning so we grabbed some coffee and breakfast from Cafe Luna (which was great) and we took the 17 mile drive scenic drive along the coast and made all the stops along the way. They give you a pamphlet upon entering the park, which costs $10.50. It was worth it!

Carmel Valley is a lovely, picturesque town from which it is easy to get to Monterey and Carmel by the Sea. There are lovely hiking trails nearby. We especially enjoyed the Garland Ranch Park just down the road which has many trails of all levels of difficulty (walking and biking).
There are numerous restaurants in Carmel Valley and the three we tried were all excellent (Cafe Rustica, Thai Village, Trailside Cafe). Great coffee and pastries at the Wild Goose Cafe too.
BTW the picture for Carmel Valley is a bit misleading as it shows the coast on the Monterey Peninsula which is 17 miles away but easily accessible.

Everything is so easy to access.
Everything is so easy to access. Lots of good casual restaurants and services. The one outstanding shop that caught our attention was Qual & Olive that has a tremendous selection of California olive oils, vinegars and gifts.
This is a bit inland from the Bay Area but not too far - only about 20 mins of a very pleasant drive. Hotel is very pretty - log cabin style with pretty gardens. The pool was wonderful for cooling down after the heat of the morning. Room was spacious and clean. Staff were absolutely lovely, recommending where we could go out for dinner and so on. Altogether a very enjoyable one night stop - over on our way down the coast. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!
Amazing stay. Great staff - so helpful and kind. Great location - only 20 mins in car to Carmel by the Sea and a short walk into the Valley.
Lovely pool and scenery around the inn and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, really clean and the beds are super comfortable!
A great base for driving Big Sur also.
The room and bed were really spacious. The bathroom needed a bit of TLC but overall it didn’t not affect our stay. The patio with view was lovely to have breakfast on. There were 20+ wine tasting rooms you could walk to from the hotel which were outstanding! Only about a 20 min drive to Carmel by the Sea.
Lovely inn - gorgeous location and very convenient to easily walk into Carmel valley village - very modern and well appointed - pretty and sheltered courtyard with sun loungers - nice private seating area to sit for morning coffees/afternoon beers in the sun.
property charges me multiple times after check out. Also charging the full amount on two occasions, after admitting they were incorrect the first time. if you claim to be a luxury resort there shouldn’t be problems like this. get it right the first time
Room / Suite: it was clean and huge! Suite's kitchen was well equipped. At night it was very quiet
Location: perfect location on the way to Big Sur and also close to Carmel (but much cheaper)
Staff: very welcoming and responsive!
Pool and hothub were great. Room was clean and comfortable. Friendliness of the staff superb, made you really feel at home. Very nice restaurants nearby with excellent wine choices (Carmel Valley is a wine rich area).
The Inn was the perfect location for what we needed. It was an old style motor lodge and delightful. The staff from beginning to end were super pleasant, attentive and great communicators.
Amazing hotel with nice design and all necessary amenities; breakfast is included; personal balcony with a good view, big swimming pool and hot tube; many restaurants are near.
I thought Contenta Inn was super cute! The grounds were kept up quite well and I loved all the decor and the yard was so inviting. Definitely will stay here again!
