Stayed for three nights in May. Checked in late, and owner coordinated it very well for our convenience. Very nice continental breakfast in a basket at the door every morning. Comfortable room with a small balcony. Very good location - short walk to all the restos and art galleries in Carmel. No smoking on the hotel grounds. Would definitely return.

We stayed in a spacious room with balcony overlooking rooftops with a view of the ocean (114). Also a gas fireplace. King bed comfortable. Breakfast (no choices) delivered to room in a basket - only so-so. Keurig in room to make your own coffee. Despite breakfast, we enjoyed our stay and loved the seagulls that came visiting on the balcony wall.
We had a very nice room...king bed, fireplace and view of the ocean from our deck. There was a great small kitchen setup with coffee counter and refrigerator. Bathroom was clean. Loved having a makeup mirror. It is at the top of the hill from downtown Carmel and the beach but that enabled us to have a nice view of the ocean. The breakfast basket was fun to open and was more than adequate to start the day. Would highly recommend Horizon Inn.
Arrival:
The Lodge was easy to find, google maps took us straight there. Parking on site is available and on the roads around the Last lodge.
Friendly and fast check in.
Location:
Short walk to the main attractions and downtown. It's a great location.
Rooms:
The balcony sea view room we occupied was large. Good shower and toiletries provided, soft towels.
The room had a fridge and microwave oven, and a tea/coffee maker.
Bed was large and comfortable, pillows were also comfortable.
There is a hot tub outside for residents use, with an outdoor seating area.
A large screen TV was also provided.
We were generally satisfied with our stay. The only aspect we didn't enjoy was the wifi, which although free, was unpredictable and dropped in and out. Making planning aspects of our road trip via the web, difficult.
Breakfast comes to your door in a picnic basket! Our room wasn't too pricey either, with one queen bed. A walk downhill to Ocean Ave was the sandy area of the ocean and people playing volleyball on the beach. Lovely shops, quaint. We drove south on Route 1 to Pt Lobos and did the 6 mile loop hike where we saw Sea Lions and their PUPs as well as a view of Big Sur-like shoreline. Awesome.
The hubs and I stayed here for the first time just recently. We have a great sized room with mountain views. Ocean view rooms could be booked but the cost of the mountain view room was more in line with the experience we wanted to have, and we knew we'd be walking to the beach every day so didn't need an ocean view (plus we live at the ocean and therefore were happy with the mountain view, which you can see from the pic was beautiful).
We had a king size bed with a fireplace, and a small patio. The room was a really nice size and felt like a studio apartment. There was a coffee station area that included a refrigerator microwave. There were plates and glasses available in the cabinets in the coffee station.
There was a full size couch, as well as a table with chairs for dining. On the patio, there was a small table to set down a book/beverage, with 2 patio chairs.
The bathroom was adequate for our needs. Not spa like but we weren't expecting that so it was all good.
We both really liked the accommodations and would stay here again, and also would recommend to others. If you're expecting high end finishes, this would not be the place for you. But if you value space and comfort over glitz, you'll be good with this property. After all, it's the outside beauty that is the draw for the area.
