What guests think
Across recent reviews, travellers describe Carmel Valley Lodge as a charming, well-kept property with exceptionally friendly staff and standout complimentary breakfasts, plus pleasant grounds with pool, hot tub, and fire pits, in a quiet location near restaurants and hiking.
Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, though several note small, dated bathrooms, thin walls, and temperature-control quirks or a lack of air conditioning. Most guests enjoy the pool, hot tub and landscaped areas, but a few encountered seasonal or temporary closures. Cleanliness is praised overall with occasional maintenance issues and an isolated pest report. Expect a friendly, low-key stay with character and a convenient base in the valley.

This was a quaint, enjoyable lodge. The service was excellent and made the whole stay excellent. There were a few quirks like a noisy fridge and difficulty with the room heater being at 80 F with the thermostat off. We were able to work around this and again, the serve was so good that this was just a minor convenience. The breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub as well. Great stay. We will return.

Location is excellent, walking distance to good restaurants and a nice park to walk through. Driving distance to great hikes and even more great restaurants. Beautiful nooks and crannies to play games or sit and relax. Fire pits to sit by. Wild flowers everywhere. Room were lacking decor so not super pretty but certainly clean and comfortable. Service and breakfast was wonderful.

We had a lovely weekend stay and will definitely be back! Beds were comfy, the location was quiet and beautifully landscaped, and the hot tub was great. Very clean property. We really appreciated the nice front desk staff and breakfast cooks, they were very friendly and professional. Amazing and plentiful hot and cold breakfast, including frittata, croissants, fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee/tea, etc. WOW!

When we booked this hotel room, it indicated that there was a king size bed with a fireplace in the room which was not the case. The hotel description also indicated that that there was a pool, hot tub and a fire pit all of which were not functioning during our stay. Expedia needs to do a better job of ensuring what amenities are available during what time of the year for their hotels as I never would’ve booked this hotel knowing that the hot tub was not in use.

Great location - walking distance to village. Short drive to hiking trails. Comfy rooms. Nice pool and small hot tub. Some kid friendly stuff like garden gnomes, and giant chess board add to the charm, (although the singing wishing well can be a bit annoying). Great gift shop with handmade items. Definitely will stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Camel Village Lodge. All the staff were very nice and helpful to us. The room was comfortable and spacious, bed was comfortable. Check in and out were very easy. The breakfast was very tasty. The grounds are very nice with mature landscaping. The is an older building, so some may prefer a more modern place, but we liked everything. If we return to the area, we will definitely stay again, and we highly recommend it.

Expedia property description was wrong and misleading! Description clearly specified room with kitchen, but hotel staff said that's not the case. You can bring your dog for $30/night, but there's literally no grass area in the "resort". Room does not have A/C, good thing we visited in winter. TV does not support streaming service like Netlix that you can login with your account.

I like this place a lot and wouldn't hesitate to go here again. It is a great value at this price. My one gripe is the bathroom. It is small and the shower was finicky, cramped, and too low for me. My 5'4" wife even complained about it. Otherwise, this place is pretty terrific.

We had a one night stay here last weekend. We were very warmly welcomed and were given detailed instructions on the services and directions to the room we chose. It was quiet but very convenient as there were many restaurants just 2 minutes drive away. Honestly, before choosing this place to stay for our trip, I read the comments from many other guests about this place. There were quite a few mixed opinions about the service, the rooms were not well soundproofed, etc. So when I arrived here I was a little worried because I had experienced a place where they were not enthusiastic in their work as well as treated me with racial discrimination. However, I was very happy and felt very peaceful when Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort was very warm in their service and professional in their business and treatment of their customers. We were so happy to wake up one morning in their breakfast room, a woman welcomed us very enthusiastically and prepared simple but nutritious dishes for us. We had a trip to explore the beautiful coastal roads and had a peaceful and comfortable place to rest. Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, prepared the bedroom, and served us a delicious breakfast at Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort.

Our group of six cyclists love Carmel Valley Lodge. Staff are very personable and helpful. The lodge has a charm that the hotel chains cannot match. The locally roasted "Fog Cutter" coffee was excellent. The included breakfast was outstanding, freshly made, and had lots of variety. We would have rated five stars, but there were a few problems. The heater thermostat had a faulty switch that required switching it on and off a few times if the temperature setting changed. New batteries were needed for the mini-spit remote in one of the bedrooms, and a new battery was needed for a fire alarm in another bedroom...it kept beeping off an on throughout the night. I have every confidence the staff will quickly fix these problems.

Great location - walking distance to village. Short drive to hiking trails. Comfy rooms. Nice pool and small hot tub. Some kid friendly stuff like garden gnomes, and giant chess board add to the charm, (although the singing wishing well can be a bit annoying). Great gift shop with handmade items. Definitely will stay again.

The check in process was very easy. The manager was the absolute sweetest person and her doggy assistant is so adorable. The fireplace was our dog’s favorite place to relax. Upon check in we were given a list of walking distance restaurants and wineries (many of which were dog friendly!)

We had a lovely weekend stay and will definitely be back! Beds were comfy, the location was quiet and beautifully landscaped, and the hot tub was great. Very clean property. We really appreciated the nice front desk staff and breakfast cooks, they were very friendly and professional. Amazing and plentiful hot and cold breakfast, including frittata, croissants, fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee/tea, etc. WOW!

It is a lovely place with nice warm welcome feeling. Although The room decors are outdated but they are well maintained and clean. There is a community park nearby and it is perfect for dog walking. Also, fresh- made breakfast is a nice touch.

Our group of six cyclists love Carmel Valley Lodge. Staff are very personable and helpful. The lodge has a charm that the hotel chains cannot match. The locally roasted "Fog Cutter" coffee was excellent. The included breakfast was outstanding, freshly made, and had lots of variety. We would have rated five stars, but there were a few problems. The heater thermostat had a faulty switch that required switching it on and off a few times if the temperature setting changed. New batteries were needed for the mini-spit remote in one of the bedrooms, and a new battery was needed for a fire alarm in another bedroom...it kept beeping off an on throughout the night. I have every confidence the staff will quickly fix these problems.

The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. They even went out of the way to provide a takeout breakfast since we had to leave early. The property was very clean and our room was charming.

Stayed twice and each time its lovely. Rooms are charming with sweet touches of home. Food is delicious. I especially like the towels for showering, like brand new! Bed always comfortable. Pillows could be a bit softer. Love the lodge

Our room was large and had a nice gas log fireplace. Very relaxing and clean. The staff was very friendly and professional. We left before breakfast was served but the lady preparing breakfast sent food with us....it was delicious!

Family owned, this spot specializes in unique decor and creative arts. The continental breakfast was beyond compare: fresh-baked pastries and fancy egg dishes were offered each day.

When checking in they surprised us with a 30.00 charge for our kiddo even though I had been emailing them 2 weeks prior to let them know. No where on their website is that explained and felt very stingy, especially since they assumed he would be eating the breakfast and none of the 3 of us did. The owner was complaining about having to refill the pool because kids “splashed too much”. The shower was clogged and flooded up to my ankles while showering - the rooms could use some tlc but It was a beautiful property, just bizarre rules and unwelcoming. Great park close by and restaurants in close by.
