Clarion Collection Carmel Oaks Inn earns praise for its very walkable, central Carmel location and simple, budget-friendly stay, while feedback is mixed on room comfort and upkeep, and the complimentary breakfast basket ranges from appreciated to too limited.
Many guests find rooms clean and cozy, but others report dated decor, maintenance issues (locks, blinds, water pressure), thin walls, noise, or lack of effective air conditioning. Service is often friendly and helpful, though some experienced absent front-desk staff, key problems, and a disputed cancellation. Overall, expect a modest inn with an excellent location and a light breakfast.

The are of the hotel was great. Close to downtown with lots of shopping, art galleries and restaurants easy to walk to. The hotel was relatively easy to find and the parking was ok, just really small spaces. The front desk attendant was nice when checking us in. The room itself was clean and organized when we first walked in, however there were holes in the wall, screws sticking out of the walls in the bathroom and the phone wasn’t even hooked up or plugged in. There was a laminated paper with all the number and extensions but no functional phone. The blinds on one of the windows was also broken and basically falling off. The bed was squeaky but overall comfortable. The listing said that room service and housekeeping were both included except when brought up he said they were the same thing so just housekeeping the breakfast was ok just a small container of dry cereal, granola bar, milk and an apple and banana. Overall the people seemed nice and the area was good but I won’t be staying at this hotel again.

The property itself was very average, the room was fine with a comfortable bed. Pretty basic in every way (though they did not supply the room with nearly enough toilet paper). Excellent location and parking. I would definitely stay here again for it’s location and ease.

The hotel facility was meh. It included breakfast, but we didn’t expect it to be a basket with a minute amount of cereal, some milk, an apple and a small danish. On the second morning they added a yogurt. The room was okay - bed small but comfortable. It was renovated to look nice but the bathroom didn’t feel super clean, and the lack of threshold into the room from the bathroom showed it was not particularly well done and there was a very sharp edge on the flooring there. There were small ants in the room that were explained that ‘sometimes kids spill milk’ as we mentioned it as we checked out. The location was great, and we had a sliver of ocean view from the little balcony. The service from the person at reception seemed rather uninterested in general.

The rooms are small and cozy. Everything was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Great location. If you need disability accessible parking, there is none. One spot is in front of the office, but you can’t utilize it, for it blocks other parking spots. Breakfast consist of a measured out cup of cereal, individual milks, a banana and an apple. Staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. The desk man was a gem of a personality.

There was no closet door and inside the closet was disgusting one of the blinds was broken and I was on street level so passers by could look directly in. The bathroom wreaked of mold. The room smelled like a urine cake. I almost slept in my car it was so disgusting. I can’t believe I was charged so much for such an unkempt hotel. Do better

Unfortunately my stay was unpleasant. The front desk gentleman was incredibly kind but the situation was off putting. I was traveling with a minor and when we noticed the sliding glass door was unlocked & went downstairs we were told they “made note” of it and “not to worry because no one can break in” but in this day and age, that’s not true. Especially because the side we were on had construction with giant ladders. If someone wanted to they would & it was even creepier that the room was named “spyglass” call me paranoid but as a women traveling alone with a child it felt very unsafe. The gentlemen heard my complaints and I was given a second room after he told me to give it time because he had to switch it with another persons reservation. Other wise, the room was filthy. Dirty handprints in everything, oily carpet (I don’t even want to know) & stains everywhere. The bed appeared clean thankfully & it got us through the night but I wouldn’t recommend this location.

Rooms
Rooms are simple and often small or cozy, with some updated touches and occasional larger suites, but comfort is mixed due to firm or squeaky beds, thin walls and noise, street-level privacy, and limited or ineffective AC. Expect varied amenities and condition (weak shower pressure, minor maintenance quirks, occasional Wi-Fi issues, and some balconies with partial ocean views).

The location was absolutely perfect - most of the time we didn't even have a rental car, but had no trouble getting around without one. We stayed for a week so we were worried about having a smaller room with lots of luggage but our room (King suite) was huge! Most, if not all, places in town are much smaller so I highly recommend for a longer stay or folks with little kids!

I told person at the desk everything was great except for the shower which had the worst water pressure/volume I’ve ever experienced. Just terrible! It barely was able to get the soap off your body. Other than that it was great! The breakfast was awesome and very generous. We have stayed there before and if the next time the water is the same I probably will choose elsewhere.

This is the cancellation policy as stated on the hotel's website. "All reservations have a standard fully refundable cancellation policy of 72 hours prior to the date of arrival by 3:00pm, unless stated otherwise on the guest confirmation. All reservations cancelled in advance of the cancellation policy deadline are fully refundable." Something came up and we needed to cancel the reservation more than 10 days prior to the deadline. The hotel refused to cancel our reservation. I worked with Expedia and I tried to reach out to the hotel, to no avail. I don't understand what was so different about my reservation, Maybe it was some sort of deal they had with Expedia that makes it no cancelable. Expedia would only say, "Sorry, the hotel refused." The hotel is refusing to discuss with me. So I could only speculate as to the reason why. The lesson here seems to be, don't use Expedia to book this hotel if you must and the price is similar; or don't trust the hotel's concellation policy.

Great location to all shops and restaurants. Arrived a bit earlier to see if there was early check-in but had a sign saying they’d be back in 20 mins. Called and did get ahold of someone and said we can check in at 2 and they’d call so that worked out as we walked around downtown (they said we could leave our car there). Coffee maker not working was a bummer but only a small inconvenience and we did have a bit of trouble with the room key (had to slide it a few times for it work. Room looked and felt clean and they provided a nice little breakfast baskets in the morning. All in all, a good stay and would consider them again when staying in Carmel.

Everything was great! Very close to all the restaurants and shops. Room was clean and the bed was comfy. They even brought us an adorable breakfast in the morning to our door! We would definitely stay here again.

The main issue was the carpet was likely old and that made the room stuffy. Also, for a beach/resort location, suggesting breakfast basket is only available for 1 hour, is pretty odd. Seems cheap.

Parked the car and enjoyed easy walks around town. Their breakfast basket is brilliant and thoughtful filled with fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal and other goodies perfect to start the day with a light breakfast. Cozy and well decorated room had all the necessities we needed.

it states free breakfast but they only had juice and coffee. and trying to figure out what the $18.66 billed twice was for that was billed separate from the bill for the hotel room.

I told person at the desk everything was great except for the shower which had the worst water pressure/volume I’ve ever experienced. Just terrible! It barely was able to get the soap off your body. Other than that it was great! The breakfast was awesome and very generous. We have stayed there before and if the next time the water is the same I probably will choose elsewhere.

Good three-star. Very good location. Clean and comfortable rooms. Staff polite but not warm. Breakfast is offered in a basket that is left at the door at 8:30. Customers can choose to eat in the room or in a small terrace outdoors inside the property. Breakfast includes cereal, cold milk, yogurt, a sweet bar and some fruit. Enough to get one going. Coffee in the room is terrible. Overall a good place to spend the night.

The location near the heart of Carmel yet a bit off the busy streets was great. The property is perfectly adequate for a short stay. The room had the necessary amenities although it was dark and has a massive piece of outdated furniture that takes up a lot of room. The hotel served our needs just fine for a one night stay.
