Donald La
The staff was very helpful and directed me to some good areas to see in Carmel. Also the staff was very responsive to questions as they came up. The internet connection was intermittent for the television but that was minor. All good and I would recommend staying there.
Brittany
Great stay. Great location. Great staff! Would definitely stay again.
Jessica
Hidden gem with a pool and hot tub. The rooms are spacious and clean. It’s away from the main road which is nice but walking distance to the area with all the tasting rooms. Definitely going to return.
Heidi
First of all, the staff is amazing. Very thoughtful, kind and welcoming. The rooms are clean, and have been decorated nicely. I always feel a little iffy when traveling on my own. I felt very safe.
The coffee and yogurt and light breakfast in the morning was very nice, and the ability to fill water bottles for hikes was great. It goes unsaid that when you have to get ice bags and bottled water, it's time consuming and expensive. It's a great amenity!
We will for sure be back! Thank you!

Martine
My 2nd time at this hotel. Love the private patios. Great location. Would definitely come back.
Mark
A very cute place and definitely a good value, especially when traveling with pets. Rooms are clean and a good size, and the pool was large enough and well maintained. All of the staff were friendly and very helpful. Our only real complaint was the wifi, which was so weak that it was difficult to get the TV to work properly. Other than that, it was a great experience.
Maira
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They offer free bagels and coffee in the morning
David
Fine!
James
Amazing help that seeks you to enjoy. The jacuzzi equipment is ready for replacement. Great quiet location
Michal
Clean, decent coffee for breakfast. After we learned there's bagels and cream cheese we went to a local grocery to get smoked salmon, baby greens, tomato and our next breakfast was truly royal! We also grabbed a fresh lemon from a lemon tree that grows on front of our patio there.
Candice
Cozy, clean, and quiet place to stay. After a long day of hiking was hoping to sit in the hot tub, it wasn’t hot as we thought it would be. Other than that, loved the coffee and bagels in the morning. I would stay here again.
Laurie
Such a cute place! Staff was amazing, room was clean and very nice size! Pool, spa, fire pit, ping pong. Good food right down the street. Will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

Kala was wonderful! Thank you for a great stay!

Quick check in with a nice large room. Pool, hot tub and a great view. Complementary coffee/tea with croissants was nice as well.
Only issue is the wifi was really poor in our room, so couldn't use the smart tv without a hot spot.

First timers at Contenta Inn
We weren't sure what to expect as we were not familiar with the area or Inn, but from the minute we went to the lobby to ask if we could store our luggage since it was too early to check in, the front desk clerk was so welcoming, warm and so nice ! The room and entire retro vibe of the Inn is very cool, clean and modern !
Andrew T
Super friendly staff, amazing conditions, and a beautiful setting.
Rebecca
I stayed at contenta inn in mid august and it was busy. It was nice to see people enjoying the pool. Very family friendly.

Michael Ann
Dont let the outside fool you! This is a revamped 1970's style motel that sparkles when you enter the room.We wish we could have stayed longer. The pool was not heated, so we were unable to enjoy it. We did use the h I t tub and it was great. Nice large fridge in the room and plenty of coffe fixings provided. The room was HUGE! The bed was very comfy. The bathroom continues to be mid-century modern. Nothing fancy, but very large with an old fashioned heat lamp. We were quite happy with it. The grounds are well taken care of and there were numerous citrus trees and blooming foillage on the property. Each room has its own private balcony with fencing surrounding it.
We will go back and stay longer next time. Loved it! COMFY!

Loved the place but no tv? Tv uses WiFi and would not work.

Good overall
Michael
Very nice older motel type setting. It's an old property but has been updated and is in great shape. Rooms are big and tastefully decorated. One story w/ small, private patio. Neighbors were loud but they settled down by 10p. Would gladly stay again.

No one was in the office for checking in when we arrived at 3pm.
AC was not working good so it was hot in the room.
Internet was so slow.

I’m updating a previous review. Our first two days started off hard because we didn’t have wifi and the pool closed which were the first two things we had planned to do during our stay. Miriam, the manager, came on her day off and helped us fix the Internet and updated us on the pool situation. So good news is that things were updated and future guests should not have to experience the same issues again.
WiFi and pool issues aside, the room was spacious and very clean. We really enjoyed the sliding door access to the pool and the pet friendly environment. It was like having a pool in our backyard. The pool area was well kept. We were there on weekdays and shared the pool with only one other family most days. Our stay ended well and we were able to enjoy the amenities.
Miriam has been very responsive. Our son left his watch phone behind on the property, and she has been responsive in helping us locate it.

Its an old motel noting special except area around it, its hills all around you and very green.
Ed
Great location! Walking distance to all wine tasting rooms and restaurants within Carmel Valley Village. Plenty of parking, great pool and hot tub on the property, and very quiet in the evening. This is our go-to spot when we visit Carmel Valley.
Erica
Booked a stay for 3 nights. On the first night, the wifi was not working. Day 2, the WiFi still wasn’t working and the pool was closed due to chemicals. Additionally, no one was on staff or in the office, and when we called the number for service, we were routed to another hotel location in Carmel-by-the Sea.
Joan
Adorable room and fantastic grounds. A hidden gem for sure!
Mary
The accessible room was under construction so they gave us the next best thing. The sink/counter in BR was really low (& I'm short). The pool is not heated and the hot tub was not turned on. The inn ia dated and the room is musty smelling.
Staff was responsive. Complimentary pastries in the AM is delicious! Overall, it wasn’t bad for its price in this area.

Carmel Valley is beautiful. Our stay made the discovery easy and comfortable. The staff at contenta inn went out of their way to help.
Wayne
It suited our purposes. It was very reasonable, and the bed was comfortable. It was a warm day, and the remote required to work the air conditioner was a problem requiring staff assistance. Dining and wine tasting were within walking distance.

Quaint Mid-Century Modern
Great \"little\" mid-century modern Motel-Hotel in heart of Carmel Valley. Walking distance to Carmel Village. Clean, convenient. Good value.
Lucy
Walking distance. Very comfortable and clean.
Rachel
Really quiet area in a valley surrounded by mountains , nice little hot tub, clean linens and bathroom.
Very comfortable bed and if you’re planning on just having a place to sleep this is a great place for the price.

Great location - Big rooms!
This location is really quiet and off the main road. The rooms are large and each has a private fenced in patio to the grass court yard and pool. Staff was polite and helpful. No complaints at all, we will be back!
Mylyne
No generators nor emergency lights
Our reservation was for one night only. Unfortunately there was power outage in the area and the property didn’t have a generator or a back up power system in place. There were no emergency lights so we only had our cellphone flashlight to keep us out of the dark. It was totally unacceptable. This property should be managed better in cases like this.
Whitney
Hidden gem
Wonderful stay. Cute, clean, family friendly. We’ll be back.
Sabrina
Loved this quaint and quiet spot for our weekend stay. The private patio adjacent to the pool was very nice. The room was adorably furnished with mid mod furniture. Plus the pastries and coffee provided for breakfast were so good, especially the chocolate croissant!
Lauren
This property was terrible and did not match the pictures on the website. The bathroom had very old flooring and the toilet was broken. The bed was close to being broken and the furniture looked like it was acquired at a garage sale. The pool was very small, many tiles were chipped and was not heated. They were not able to check us in on time and we had to wait 2 hours (90 degrees that day) as they didn’t have enough staff. The front desk receptionist had communication issues and couldn’t answer anything beyond “yes” and “no” responses. We were very disappointed so decided to leave a day early. I would NOT recommend staying here. There were other options in the area I wish we would have booked instead. The pictures do not reflect the condition of the actual property.
Susan
It's wonderfully quiet. 5he beds, OMG, the beds. Like sleeping on a cloud.
Gabriel
I really liked how private it was, as well as the walking distance to the winery
John
The room was very clean with plenty of amenities. The sliding door to the patio and pool area was not locked when we entered and we ended up blocking it using hangars. If arriving late be sure to make arrangements to get your room key from the convenient lockbox next to the office.
Gabriele
Great location but staff , room condition and service below par even for an inn

Love their mid-century styling. The town is very small, so it's really a getaway to a quiet spot, not an exciting destination. Super quiet, with a nice, small swimming pool and ping pong table for entertainment.
Michelle
Beautifully kept grounds, comfortable beds
Stephanie
I liked the quality of the contintental breakfast. I loved the yard with the pool and outdoor picnic spots.
I did not like the pillows and did not sleep very well with them.
I was in a nice room this time and last time my room was not very nice. My aunt stayed in the not as nice room this time, and it had not been improved. Seems like there is variation among the room quality.

Very since and super quiet place to stay, enjoy the life.
David
Beautiful property very nice staff. The buildings are a bit older and in need of some maintenance with not enough outlets for all the current tech that always needs a charge. Very close to all shops, wine tasting venues and restaurants. Given the cost of some of the other options in the Valley I would definitely stay again.
Patrick
Super nice room , facilities and staff. Three minute walk to the main road : will be back for sure
Deborah
The staff was very friendly. The grounds are well kept and and pretty, nice pool. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. It’s very quiet and peaceful. Nice private patio off the room and the views are beautiful.
Jacqueline
Great location and looks like they have recently updated the sidewalks surrounding most of the units and painted inside and out. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The king size bed was very comfortable. The down sides are that the walls don't seem to be insulated so you can hear the room's next door television and people talking. I would have preferred black out curtains on the window instead of blinds. Also the driveway has some pretty deep potholes in certain sections. I would stay here again if I was assured that no one would be in the room next to mine.
Richie
Cute and spacious
Very cute motel with Post mid-century decor. Very comfortable beds, linens, and towels. Large room and bathroom with a private patio overlooking the pool. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. It's also a great deal in an expensive area. Walking distance into the village and a short drive to 2 parks with many hiking trails.

The Pros and Cons 3/22/22
Pros:
Room was clean and neat. Check-in was easy. Convenient location in the village.
Cons:
Room thermostat/heating was not working and they gave no warning about it, or that there was a small space heater in the corner, unplugged (that resembled as much an upright room fan, so I took no notice until the next morning, when I wanted a bit of warmth for the room).
No coffee, save for the stale coffee pods in the room.
No nothing in the mornings. While other hotels in the area are serving breakfasts, the Contenta feels like it's using covid as an excuse to simply save their $ by not offering continental breakfast, or even some hot brewed coffee for their guests. Please, Contenta, it doesn't reflect well for you that everyone else has moved past the pandemic and has returned to providing breakfast.
Front desk: Both mornings we were there, the front desk/office was NOT open at 8 am as advertised, though each morning we had waited until that time to ask question or two. The second day we returned mid day and again it was locked closed, and no note saying \"be right back\" or \"back in 5 minutes.\" So, VERY lax management, at least on the operational side of things.
Overall, not a good value for the money, though it would be if these negatives were corrected in the future.

Room and bathroom were nice size. Otherwise nothing unique about property. Don’t try to get any info or ask questions because you’ll get a single word answer in a not very friendly tone. This is a one and done for me.

Meh
The ice maker is very loud and did not stop whirring the entire night. Room is very small, bathroom does not have heater and it's super cold. And it was pricey. I'll give it props for cleanliness, and the day attendant was super friendly and accommodating. The night attendant not so much.

Convenient to wineries. Clean, no frills option
This motor-lodge is very convenient for staying in Carmel Valley Village and walking to wineries. The property is recently updated and does not feel old or dingy in any way, but they really cut some corners on items in the room that feel like they would have made this experience reflective of the relatively steep nightly rate. Example: No mirror in room except bathroom. Example: The floor lamp looks like it was $15 from a big-box store, and the wall lamps look like they're from the 80s. I get it -- they're the \"affordable\" option compared to luxury spa retreats down the street and are, on a relative scale, much less expensive than the other options. Verdict: I'd stay here again if I were in in CVV, but I left this place feeling \"Wow, that was overpriced for what we got compared to other motor lodges in other destinations.\"
Kimo
Very peaceful and quiet. It was a special surprise for my wife and we enjoyed these little cottages very much. A little construction going on at the property (not while we were there). Didn’t look like much from the street but the room was fantastic! We’ll come again!

Cons: Needs a lot of updating. Hasn’t had any updates since the 80s, faucets were difficult to turn, Tv was so small, jacuzzi was broken, pool was not heated. No black out curtains, wood blinds that I couldn’t open.
Pros:
Private balcony, very spacious room, plenty of parking and close to restaurants.
