Our room was more like a cottage with a full kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. It was clean, quiet, very comfortable, well lit and had everything we needed.
Great value for price and included parking (in front of unit) and breakfast each morning.

Carmel Valley Lodge was amazing! There are so many positive things to comment on! The outdoor life size games like Chess, Connect 4, Jenga were super cool! The pool area was beautiful and quiet - I loved the loungers, the hot tub, the fire pit. My room also had a partially closed off front porch which I enjoyed sitting out there drinking coffee, listening to the birds. There aren't enough words to describe the greatness of the staff - from the greeting when I entered to the small talk about tv shows to the simple check out (P.S. they have a nice shop with lots of hand made items so bring extra spending monies!) Even the young woman setting out breakfast was kind and helpful! The room was lovely, I adore the fireplace, the look and feel of the room felt like home, it was clean and had all amenities needed! As a solo, female traveler I felt safe and taken care of here!

We LOVED this place. Sweet little family run property, nestled in the Carmel Valley hills. Our room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. They had a lovely heated pool and hot tub, with nice new beach towels in the rooms for our use. Breakfast was delicious - waffles, egg bites, boiled eggs, yogurt parfait, avocado toast, coffee, etc. The shops, restaurants and wineries are walkable - with some nice dining choices nearby. Also, easy parking is included. Overall, great stay. The buildings are older, but well kept. Loved it!

We had a one night stay here last weekend. We were very warmly welcomed and were given detailed instructions on the services and directions to the room we chose. It was quiet but very convenient as there were many restaurants just 2 minutes drive away. Honestly, before choosing this place to stay for our trip, I read the comments from many other guests about this place. There were quite a few mixed opinions about the service, the rooms were not well soundproofed, etc. So when I arrived here I was a little worried because I had experienced a place where they were not enthusiastic in their work as well as treated me with racial discrimination. However, I was very happy and felt very peaceful when Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort was very warm in their service and professional in their business and treatment of their customers. We were so happy to wake up one morning in their breakfast room, a woman welcomed us very enthusiastically and prepared simple but nutritious dishes for us. We had a trip to explore the beautiful coastal roads and had a peaceful and comfortable place to rest. Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, prepared the bedroom, and served us a delicious breakfast at Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort.

Expedia property description was wrong and misleading! Description clearly specified room with kitchen, but hotel staff said that's not the case.
You can bring your dog for $30/night, but there's literally no grass area in the \"resort\".

Excellent, wonderful, slightly flawed

Our group of six cyclists love Carmel Valley Lodge. Staff are very personable and helpful. The lodge has a charm that the hotel chains cannot match. The locally roasted \"Fog Cutter\" coffee was excellent. The included breakfast was outstanding, freshly made, and had lots of variety. We would have rated five stars, but there were a few problems. The heater thermostat had a faulty switch that required switching it on and off a few times if the temperature setting changed. New batteries were needed for the mini-spit remote in one of the bedrooms, and a new battery was needed for a fire alarm in another bedroom...it kept beeping off an on throughout the night. I have every confidence the staff will quickly fix these problems.

When we booked this hotel room, it indicated that there was a king size bed with a fireplace in the room which was not the case. The hotel description also indicated that that there was a pool, hot tub and a fire pit all of which were not functioning during our stay.
