"Comfortable room in a super location"
Walking distance to Ocean Avenue and all shops and restaurants. Very comfortable bed. My small dog was welcomed warmly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Everything but coffee"
We were very pleased to get an upgrade from a Queen room to a King room at no additional charge.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"10 Year Anniversary"
Everything was nice and fine and in good condition, but the Hotel is a little older, maybe built in the 50's or 60's and our room smelled a little stuffy, but not horrible. Our room had weak Wifi signal, we could connect, but just barely and it kept dropping out.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Creaky ceilings"
Not a bad location but noisy rooms and paper thin walls.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location & great value."
We have stayed here several times and never been disappointed. The hotel is clean, the staff is very helpful, and the location is fabulous. Our dog was a welcomed guest too. Will stay here again for sure.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel is 2 blocks from Ocean Ave, very convenient. Breakfast was adequate, not much room to eat it as it is in the lobby with hardly any seating.No coffee maker in the room, but coffee and tea in the lobby all day.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The room smelled moldy and was really out dated.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quiet, Comfortable and Terrific Location"
We were very comfortable for three nights. Never used our car after arriving because of the convenient location. The wi-fi was many times faster than even the most premium hotels. Furniture was a bit dated, but the mattress was new and we got what we needed in a "standard queen." Renovations coming later in 2013. Good coffee all day long and light continental […] breakfast until 10:30. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Romantic Weekend Getaway"
Wow, what a relaxing place! Plenty to do, see, and eat! Amazing resturaunts and the beach is only a 15 minute walk from the Hotel. Location is perfect, everything is within 2-3 blocks. Highly recommended!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The room was clean and comfortable, the service was good, room amenities were minimal, however the location was exellent. A short walk to restaurants and shops.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Needs some maintenance and updating. One side of drapes needed a hanging rod that was missing to pull it closed. hard to get drapes and blinds toclose completely to keep out light or view. TV was not a flat screen, and small. Controller didnt work consisently. Bathroom old but clean. However it had a slide window to exterior, and ours had no locking […] mechanism. No microwave or frig. Front desk staff was helpful and friendly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Comfortable Carmel lodge."
The premium king room was very large and roomy with lots of windows. The location of the hotel, just a couple of blocks from Ocean Street, the main drag, was perfect. It was very easy to walk anywhere we wanted to go.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Back home on the coast"
We enjoyed our stay at the Carmel Lodge. We were in the older section of the hotel and the rooms were much smaller than the room we stayed in last time. The view was wonderful and we could see the ocean. We did have a light out in the bathroom, but overall it was fine for two nights. We definately would stay here again. It was centerally located and […] close to the resturants and shops we wanted to visit. We were there for our friend's 75th birthday celebration so the party was within walking distance to our hotel.

I felt that the housekeeping should have done a more thorough job cleaning preparing for the next guests. Found a used tissue under a table & a used towel on a bathroom door hook. I did report this to the front. Otherwise we had a nice stay, clean beds, great location!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location. Basic amenities"
Superb location. Reasonably ean, but very basic. Essentially an in town motel. Barely adequate water pressure. Old school tv had poor reception. Not bad for one night, but no frills. At $100 a night would have been great. But at 299 it was overpriced. The redeeming value is that you can walk anywhere in Carmel from here.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Old Basic and Dingy"
Nice bed, new linens, but very old, a bit grimy, tiny TV with very few viewable channels. Carpet seemed a bit gross. I usually don't mind staying at a "3" hotel, but this should be rated less than that (I'd say 2.5). If I was alone (as a guy) and needed cheap hotel, I could see myself staying here again, but don't expect to impress anyone here. It meets […] the basic standards. The plus, LOCATION. It was perfectly located and very safe. Parking was very convenient and no charge. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Last minute hotel/motel"
Bed was comfortable, Room was clean, bathroom clean but terribly small, (Think European). It's an old motel / hotel but convenient location. Excellent Coffee in the reception from the Carmel Coffee, Fog Catcher!. Book earlier and find more hotels to choose from but in a pinch for one night, last minute,it worked.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Cold experience"
Location is good. But the hotel is very cold. The bathroom is very out dated and it is freezing.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Simple lodge on a quiet street"
A nice motor lodge. It's located on a quiet street and is a short walk to all of the restaurants and galleries. It's not fancy, or exceptionally roomy, but it meets the needs if you are in town for a day or so. This was my first time staying over in Carmel, so I can't compare it with other lodges in the area. The price was reasonable though, and I was […] able to find a good deal on Expedia. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"ok hotel experience"
The hotel was clean, room size good, but everything else just ok, especially considering the price. I wanted a hotel where I could have my dog, and they did accommodate that, but another $35/night was added for that, on top of what to me was an already high price for an ok room. Continental breakfast was also just ok. There are so many wonderful bakeries […] in the area, it would have been nice to have something other than a bagel, juice and fruit. Would recommend, but with all of these caveats. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Overpriced!"
Would not recommend .. Was disappointing for a hotel in CarmelGenuine Expedia guest review
"disappointing!"
could be nice but in dire need of some updating - bathrooms very sad - very noisy too, could hear people's conversations word for word from the street. Internet connection terrible!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location"
Hotel staff was very nice. Hotel was located in a great spot and walking distance to everything. Hotel need a little workGenuine Expedia guest review
My only issue was the lack of a coffee maker in the room. They do offer a continental breakfast it not until 8am and that's a bit late for some of us business travelers.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"left early"
Very little for the price. I booked this hotel for the location and a great location w.as all I got. The room was small with no air conditioner, just a small desk fan in the room. The woman at the front desk looked and acted like she would rather be anywhere else. Just nothing for the moneyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great room at a great price!"
My husband and I just returned from Carmel and we were both extremely happy with the hotel service and room! The room was very clean and extremely spacious! Wow! And the location of the hotel is within walking distance to the ocean and to downtown Carmel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location!"
The room is small and the bathroom is tiny, but otherwise the place is great. Perfect location and friendly service. Will stay again if the price is right!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"perfect home base for hiking couple"
The hotel location is fabulous, right across the street from Casanova restaurant, right on the edge of the gallery district. The beach at the end of Ocean street is just a couple of blocks away. We opted out of the complimentary breakfast to go to local bakeries. We spent the days hiking in Big Sur and returned in the evenings to eat in Carmel. Parking […] at the hotel was always available. We are both extremely tall and usually have trouble with beds that are too soft - beds here were quite comfortable. Room was clean and bright. Only drawback was the lack of counter space in the bathroom. I will definitely go back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great stay!"
Pet friendly! Very clean and comfortable! Will come come back and stay!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Carmel Day Tripper"
Overall the hotel was in a very nice and central location, staff was friendlily, and very helpful, rooms were very clean and spacious, and the hotel allowed dog's a big plus for us, my only real complaint, they charge a 35.00 nonrefundable pet deposit, our dog is 3lbs, i think it is only fair to inspect room and refund all or part of this deposit based […] on the room condition at departure, or just include it in room rate and be done with it.

"Somewhat Mixed"
Nice hotel. Older property (as so many are in Carmel) with some updates. (+) Easy walking to Carmel Village shops & restaurants & beach; nice & helpful staff; Carmel Roasting Co. coffee in the front lobby; comfortable bed. (-) Outside wooden walkways are noisy when folks are walking/talking out there. Room doors don't fit great so people have to slam […] them shut (not so great if you are trying to sleep in a bit).
