We recently stayed at L’Auberge Carmel and had a mixed experience. The standout was, without question, the service. Every single staff member we encountered was exceptional. From check-in to valet to breakfast service, everyone was warm, professional, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our stay enjoyable. The hospitality is truly best-in-class and deserves five stars. The hotel itself is charming and full of character, as it’s a beautifully preserved building from the 1920s. The beds were very comfortable, and the location is excellent. That said, we were surprised by the accommodations given the hotel’s luxury reputation and price point. The rooms are quite small and don’t feel particularly luxurious. There is no air conditioning, so we were advised to sleep with the windows open. Unfortunately, that wasn’t a great solution because there were mosquitoes (the windows had no screens), and with neighboring guests also keeping their windows open, noise carried easily. We happened to be next to a family with very loud children, and it felt like they were in our room. On our first morning, we were also awakened at 7:45 a.m. by jackhammering and construction noise, which wasn’t the relaxing start we’d hoped for. Overall, the incredible staff is the reason I’m giving this review a positive rating. They were outstanding. However, if you’re choosing L’Auberge Carmel expecting a modern luxury hotel experience, you may want to adjust your expectations.

This quaint hotel had all the amenities that I needed, even had a steamer in addition to an iron. Loved the turn down service with warm fresh cookies and departing gift of handmade granola. Highlights were the Nespresso machine and their breakfast menu. I will go back to Carmel so I can stay here again.

The property is charming and very French feeling. The staff is uniformly charming and helpful. The room is comfortable and the amenities super. The breakfast is wonderful and very filling. The oversized tub allowed for a soak after hiking and was much appreciated. We will come back!
