At Hidden Valley Inn, guests highlight a quiet Carmel Valley setting with landscaped grounds, a well-kept pool, friendly service, and comfortable, updated rooms, plus walking access to nearby restaurants and tasting rooms and convenient drives to Carmel and Big Sur.
Guests appreciate the simple morning coffee and pastries and the dog friendly policy. Common tradeoffs include housekeeping by request, limited front desk hours and text-based communication, inconsistent pool temperature, and some rooms lacking a microwave or full-size refrigerator. While cleanliness is praised overall, a few notes mention strong deodorizer smells or an occasional issue. Overall, expect a peaceful, well-kept base for exploring Carmel Valley and the coast.

We stayed here two nights on our honeymoon trip while just passing through the area. This is a great, quiet, quaint spot in the Carmel Valley area. We enjoyed our stay here. The pool was warm and the yard games were a fun bonus. Thank you!

We were happy to find this hidden gem in Carmel Valley. The staff was friendly and accomodating, allowing us to check in early to fit our schedule. Our room opened to a small patio that looks out to lawn and beautiful trees. 2 cornhole games were available and inside the pool area was ladderball. The grounds are beaurifully landscaped. Looking forward to a return trip.

The staff (i think her name was Leiah - i cant recall now) was so friendly and so kind. They have great pastries and coffee in the morning. The pool was heated perfectly and was so refreshing after returning fro a jog through the valley. The location is an easy drive into Big Sur and because its not in Big Sur the price is right. Shops and restaurants nearby were pretty decent. We had a great time exploring Big Sur by day and relaxing in the valley at night. Junior suite was a decent size and clean.

This was a beautiful place to stay. It had a wonderful pool right out infront of our room- didnt get in the pool but will definitely jump in next time. The carmel beach and carmel towel was only a 20 min drive away, it also had great dine in options that were walkable (5-7 mins). However, front desk staff mentioned they’d have fresh pastries out at 7 in the morning, but when we got there for 7:30 am they were still closed which was a bit of a bummer.

Property is nice. Rooms clean, bed comfy. Cornhole right outside your rooom? Super annoying. For a small property, they offer too many games in the common areas. Nice for the parties there. Not cool for the rest of us who intentionally chose this location to get out of the fray.

Hidden Valley Inn was a great option for us. It was clean and comfortable, although the bathroom/bathtub showed its age. The location is ideal and the grounds beautiful. The service was friendly, and add extra points for ice water and iced tea being available in the office and by the pool. Since there is no restaurant, it was especially convenient to have coffee and pastries in the office every morning at no extra charge. My only significant negative was the patio was literally a few feet from the patio next door so privacy outside was nonexistent.

Had an awesome time at Hidden Valley Inn in the Carmel Valley. The room was modern and very clean. The morning pastries were a nice touch and the grounds were well maintained. The only complaint was a strong fabreeze smell in the room and there is no hot tub. Several shops, restaurants, and wineries were within walking distance. So convienient!

The resort and room looked better in person than it did in any of the pictures online. The only reason I didn't not give this review 5 stars is because the front desk girl could not tell us much about places to eat, see, or even where to park in Carmel. She told us she was born and raised in Carmel Valley and didn't know much about anything outside of that...we were a little disappointed!

Could have not asked for anything more. The property is totally renovated and nested in between the mountains. The front desk is open between 8-5 pm but they have someone available on the phone after hours. They have a nice and clean pool to soak in after or before a day of activities. Their pastries are delicious. We will definitely come back.

We loved how quiet it was and the beautiful view of the hills. Morning pastries were good! The heated bathroom floors were so nice. We did not enjoy that housekeeping does not come to your room unless you request it. That was odd. The way of communicating with the front staff was through text. I found that to be very impersonal. The office staff is only there until 5 pm.

Also, did not find extra needed plugs under the sink on right til end of second day. otherwise, I look forward to my next stay and have already recommended you to family and friends living in CV.

This was a beautiful place to stay. It had a wonderful pool right out infront of our room- didnt get in the pool but will definitely jump in next time. The carmel beach and carmel towel was only a 20 min drive away, it also had great dine in options that were walkable (5-7 mins). However, front desk staff mentioned they’d have fresh pastries out at 7 in the morning, but when we got there for 7:30 am they were still closed which was a bit of a bummer.

The room was clean and comfortable. The pool was also clean and at a nice temperature. There were yard games as well. The hotel is a short distance from restaurants and wine tasting rooms. The check-in person was very friendly and helpful with information about the area. We would return here again to explore Carmel and Big Sur.

This property is perfect for those stays where you need a clean site, close to your destination. The outside property was beautiful, and you cannot beat the view from the valley, looking up to the mountains. It's also close enough to Monterey or Carmel Beach, but secluded where you have your privacy without the crowds, commercial side of Monterey! Staff was also very attentive to follow-up to ensure your stay was going well.

We loved this property. This is a remodeled motel with a very nice pool in Carmel Valley, They offer a complimentary pastry of your choice and coffee for breakfast. The hotel is very close to dining and lots of wineries.

Hidden Valley Inn is charming and reasonably priced. Our room was comfortable and newly updated. The pastries in the lobby each morning were delicious!

Hidden Valley Inn was a great option for us. It was clean and comfortable, although the bathroom/bathtub showed its age. The location is ideal and the grounds beautiful. The service was friendly, and add extra points for ice water and iced tea being available in the office and by the pool. Since there is no restaurant, it was especially convenient to have coffee and pastries in the office every morning at no extra charge. My only significant negative was the patio was literally a few feet from the patio next door so privacy outside was nonexistent.

We loved how quiet it was and the beautiful view of the hills. Morning pastries were good! The heated bathroom floors were so nice. We did not enjoy that housekeeping does not come to your room unless you request it. That was odd. The way of communicating with the front staff was through text. I found that to be very impersonal. The office staff is only there until 5 pm.

The staff (i think her name was Leiah - i cant recall now) was so friendly and so kind. They have great pastries and coffee in the morning. The pool was heated perfectly and was so refreshing after returning fro a jog through the valley. The location is an easy drive into Big Sur and because its not in Big Sur the price is right. Shops and restaurants nearby were pretty decent. We had a great time exploring Big Sur by day and relaxing in the valley at night. Junior suite was a decent size and clean.

The pool is very nice and the property is well maintained. The room amenities are lacking. No mini fridge. Housekeeping was on request but came when asked and did a great job. They have pasteries for breakfast but forgot to order them one morning. A bowl of fresh fruit would have been nice. There is no visible option for recycling.

Small quiet place surrounded by beauty. Room was clean and comfortable. Could have used a mirror to get dressed though. Pool looked nice but too cold to go in. Short walk to many great little restaurants. Nice pastries for morning breakfast. Great place to relax for a weekend
