This hotel was perfect for an overnight stay. It is located on Ocean Ave., just a short walk to restaurants and bars and shops and if you continue walking you land at the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and would love to return.

This motel is just about smackdab in the middle of Carmel. It's a basic no-frills motel. Room 11's wall heater pilot light went out 4 times the first day. We moved to another room and the heat was fine. This location is the best.

Good location, end of main thoroughfare. Needs lots of updating, staff not very friendly.

Pros: 1) Proximity to shopping and restaurants. It's at one end of Ocean Ave, which is really the main strip in Carmel. You walk out the door and youre right where the shopping begins. 2) The hotel has it's own parking lot. Many of them don't! 3) Great rates. I found it's about half the cost of many other hotels in the area. 4) Breakfast was good, and […] included. 5) Super comfy, cushy beds. CONS: 1) The hotel is EXTREMELY outdated. Wow. Surprisingly so. And not in a cool retro way. The tub was a tanish yellow (think Marcia Brady) while everything else was white, the art and furnishings were cheap and old, and nothing matches. It's really noteworthy. Even from the outside it hasn't got an ounce of style. 2) Ocean Avenue becomes a raceway once the shops close. Revving engines and people obviously driving really fast. I was really surprised at the car noise given the upscale and well-to-do atmosphere in Carmel, and it was hard to sleep. Would I stay there again? For just ONE NIGHT, the location and parking kind of make up for the fact that it's horribly outdated. If I was going to stay two or more nights, I wouldn't stay there, as there are just too many other places in Carmel...even though staying elsewhere would be more expensive, and probably less convenient parking-wise.

this hotel is convienient to all that Carmel has to offer. The shops and restaurant start there and the beach is a half mile away. No need to park and repark. Just leave the car at the hotel and walk.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel location was outstanding. We could walk to everyone spot in Carmel easily. The room upkeep was very disappointing as the rating was suppose to be 3 stars. Simple things like touch up paint, replacing missing knobs and some scratch remover on cabinets would have made a huge difference. The bed skirt had stains on it which really bothered me. The […] breakfast the next morning was very suitable. Read more

Fine place to stop on our way down the coast.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is right in front of the main commercial street and in a walking distance of the beach. You park your car in front of your room and walk around the main area of the town. The room is nice and neat, even though a modern TV set wouldn't harm. Breakfast is good. Staff was ok, but definitely could be friendlier. If you want to stay all day away […] and just come back to the hotel to sleep, that's a great choice. I'd stay there again and will recommend. Read more

we stay here when in Carmel because it's convenient and clean and the price is right.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Location is awosome , hotel needs serious remodel , room was old , towels thin and ripped. It seems like there are many hotels in Carmel that know they could get away with this. The breakfast was a nice surprise , real fresh cut fruit, egg frittata and oatmeal. I would stay again if I get the price low like this stay

We've stayed about eight times, and will continue to come back.

Very comfortable beds! Room was a bit old but great hotel for a night or two. Woman at the front desk was friendly and the hotel amenities (shampoo, conditioner and soap) were of very high quality. Very impressed. Normally hotels of this caliber don't provide the nicest of amenities! Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were very pleased with the location , delicious breakfast , and congenial staff. We had some issue with parking. The hotel was full and the lot was not adequate for all thè cars However we would return again and tell our friends about this hotel.

We stay here every year for the two days before Christmas, and they never disappoint. They offer continental breakfast every morning; walking distance from the beach; 50 yards away is a small grocery store that offers homemade soups and sandwiches as well as the usual staples; and rooms are tastefully furnished, with fridge, blow dryer, TV with 50+ […] channels, near the window a bistro table with chairs (which is nice when eating the continental breakfast); and, best of all, a VERY comfy bed with fresh, fluffy linens and plenty of bed pillows.

Excellent location, very comfortable bed. No A/C at all but nights are cool.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is in a great location. Close to shops, restaurants and pretty easy walk down to the beach (uphill on the way back). We make this trip annually and this hotel is certainly one of the best deals for its prime location. Staff are nice and the breakfast is decent. Occasional issues with room, i.e. phones not working, but the beds are comfy and […] the place is generally clean Read more

We stay at this hotel because it's reasonably priced and centrally located. Don't spend much time at the hotel so it meets our needs. Free breakfast w/quiche and waffles, oatmeal, not bad.

I stay here when ever I go to Carmel

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room was not air conditioned; we kept the windows open but noise from the street and parking lot was intrusive. This is just an old hotel that needs a renovation and some sound proofing in order to be really good. The staff was good, however, and they served a really nice breakfast

Genuine Expedia guest review

Everything was ok until I get. Back to my room after I have left for a walk and I see someone from the staff inside my bathroom fixing a window. Important to say that I had a Do not Disturb on the door and all my belongings were exposed. The staffing guy let the door opened s anyone that would have intereted in grabbing something from my room could […] be really comfortable. Called reception and the staff downstair did not have the training to deal with the situation. The woman was rude and did not know how to handle the situation. Horrible experience Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location at the east end of Carmel is superb -- a great place to park the car and walk down to the beach and through the town. The inn is attractive with beautiful flowers spilling over the balconies. Our second-floor room was small but well-furnished with very good lighting. It felt very safe. We slept with windows open for the sea breeze. The […] included breakfast was very good -- fritatta, waffles, oatmeal, fresh fruit, various bread choices, orange juice, coffee, and tea. Read more

Very poor on arrival, not offering any information, sullen receptionist. In the room there was a client guide which listed the things happening in 2004 and 2005. They suggested we could offer feedback via the welcome leaflet but looked puzzled when we asked for one. However, it served a purpose if a somewhat soul-less one, comfortable bed, central  […] location. Read more

Carmel Inn is a very nice place, and it includes breakfast. We were very happy.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The breakfast is excellent. The only drawback is there is tight parking if the place is full. We will return. The rooms are small but very well appointed and very clean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It fit what I had in mind, was located where I wanted, was convenient to everything I'd wanted. Totally acceptable. Room was clean. Little service needed to be offered for my overnight stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was in a good location, except on a busy corner with lots of traffic noise. The staff was helpful and courteous. However, the bathtub was old and yellow and had a large discolored strip with holes where the glass door had been removed. The wood cabinets needed updating or restaining and the room had a strong smell of bleach. Would not stay […] there again. Read more

We arrived and immediately had a problem: the roof of our convertible got stuck half-way, making it un-drivable. The folks at the Carmel Village Inn couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Cell phone service was sketchy so they allowed us to make all arrangements from their desk phone (it was a 100-mile tow), offered us wine and snacks and in […] general, were just about the friendliest people I've ever encountered in a hotel. Once arrangements were made for our car, we discovered our wonderful suite. The attention to detail, especially for a moderately priced hotel, was outstanding. Everything was spotless, there were robes, etc. All-in-all, it was a delightful stay, even with the obvious problems we had to contend with. I recommend this hotel highly. Read more

The bathrooms were terrible and really need to be redone. The location was great though and the room was overall ok for cleanliness

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A high-end motel experience. Great location for Carmel, very clean and staff were helpful. It's an older property with classic design of box rooms arranged around a car park -- nothing wrong with that, but also set your expectations. You'll hear folks outside your window filling up the cooler with ice before they take off etc. Room had all the essentials, […] was spotlessly clean and good bedding. We slept well, lazed around and ate breakfast -- cereals, breads, hot egg dish, fresh waffles, fruit, good coffee. Right on Ocean avenue, the backbone of Carmel. Walk straight down the hill to the beach, or digress into the shops. Two local grocery stores within 1/2 a block. Can't argue with the convenience. Parking spaces are compact-sized. It's very tight, especially for SUVs. Felt sorry for the folks with high-end convertibles crammed next to Chevy behemoths. We came back late and every spot was filled, but fine to park on the street until 10am next day. Read more

We stay in Carmel often. We have stayed at this hotel several times before. The rooms ( I always try to get a room on upper level ) are clean and comfortable. The beds are so comfortable and cozy I could just stay in bed and relax all day. It is located on the main street, Ocean, in Carmel. They have chocolate chip cookies, coffee and tea available […] all day. The breakfast is great..fresh fruits, waffles, muffins, potatoes, egg omelet casserole, oatmeal, cereals, danish, fruit juice, coffee, tea.The staff is helpful and courteous. We plan on returning soon. Read more
