I stayed here with my partner and two friends in early June on our first night driving from San Francisco to LA. We arrived in Carmel around 6pm and were delighted to find rooms in this hotel, situated at the end of Ocean Avenue, a beautiful shop- and restaurant-lined road through Carmel to the ocean (about a 10-minute walk). The... more

For those that haven't been to Carmel before, it is very picturesque but nothing is cheap! The Village Inn is within a few minutes walk of the restaurants and fancy shops that make Carmel an interesting place to visit. The beach is about a 10 minute walk away (15 minutes coming back up the hill!). The hotel has free (... more

This was part of an 8 day / 5 hotel tour of the San Fran area and this was by far the worst of the 5 hotels we stayed at. Everywhere else (San Fran, Napa, Calistoga, Monterey) we had got some good bargins on nice hotels. This place was $150 a night. I wouldn't value it above $50. The good... more

This is a great value option in what I imagine could be an expensive place to stay. We turned up without a reservation and got a room no problem. Rooms whilst nothing special are very clean and very comfortable with a great bed. Location is perfect, right at the top of the village and within easy walking distance of the... more

We recently had the pleasure of staying in two rooms at the Village Inn. Rooms were recently updated and very nice. Staff was very accomnadating. We would diffentlly stay again. more

Night 1 of our business/pleasure trip and our first time in Carmel was at the La Playa Hotel. I had asked La Playa for a referral for something more within our budget for the next nights. They sent us to the Village Inn. The first thing I did was read the glowing reviews, and was sold. Not a complaint in... more

My wife and I stayed one night at the Carmel Village Inn in mid- November, 2008. The best feature of this inn is the location; at the entrance to central Carmel, within walking distance to all shops and restaurants. The worst feature of this inn is the noise. The walls are paper thin. We could hear the exact words of... more

It is a great location. We were going on a motorcycle trip and we were looking for a place that had good flat parking and was close to town so we could leave the bikes and walk. My wife says it is cleaner that most motels. more

Stayed at the Carmel Village Inn in late October. We wanted to stay near Ocean Avenue, have access to off street parking, and keep our costs down. Carmel Village Inn fulfilled all our requirements and more. Although this is an older facility, our room (Room 22) was outstandingly clean. Our basic amenities/services - small hair dryer, iron and ironing board,... more
