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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
