I have been a steady visitor for many years and the new management is making a good thing even better. It has always been clean and cosy, but a tad dated and in need of basic upgrades. In the last year or so, there have been many upgrades, new carpets, new furniture, lighting, etc. The rooms have always been clean... more

We stayed at Carmel Resort Inn and were pleasantly rewarded. Our room was a little cottage on the corner of 1st & Guadalupe in the residential part of town. For a couple nights, we felt like we were Carmel locals! Angela was very helpful with directions and restaurant suggestions. We're looking forward to our next visit! more

My room was incredible ... it felt like I rented an apartment for my one week stay. more

I come to the area 6 - 8 times a year and ALWAYS stay at the Carmel Resort Inn. I have been staying there for about 8 years now.

We have never stayed in... more

The "Inn" was terrible. A few of the pictures on the website make it look okay, but it is not like that in real life. The room was so outdated and poorly put together. The paint was very chipped on the walls, and the bathroom walls had mold on them. I showered with my flip flops on. The room was... more

We had a two-bedroom cottage that was badly dated. Bathroom was moldy and the entire unit needed a thorough cleaning. Breakfast was delivered to our door and it was sufficient. We would not stay there again even though the San Jose Mercury recommended it. more

i understand that motels are expensive in Carmel, but is it too much to ask that the bathroom not be a mold fest? Also peeling baseboard and shower insert in bathroom was really gross. We paid almost $200/night and were told that a frig or microwave would be extra and besides the person who could bring them was gone for... more
