Great location and price. Everything is in walking distance. The room was clean and the bed was very comfy. Great service. Carola is amazing and very accommodating. This is my new go to place!

The location was excellent for downtown Carmel by the Sea as well as for traveling Highway 1 scenic route.
Having a few stores nearby, made it convenient for picking up items.
The outdoor patio area was nicely, arranged, and offered both comfortable lounge seating as well as activities.
Conveniently set in the center of Monterey, Monterey Bay Lodge provides free WiFi, a garden and free private parking for guests who drive.

Outstanding front desk clerk (Asian lady was very helpful and friendly). Thanks for your assistance.
Although the room faced the side street, I heard no noise! Parked right underneath.

It was such a magical place full of restaurants, wineries, and cute cafes. I especially enjoyed the community vibe there. The community park, the history center and the library were nice surprises. It was neat to learn a bit of history about the village. My kid loved it too.

Beautiful weather and location - reasonable distance from SF for a nice getaway. Wish we could have organized a horseback riding trip or something but couldn't get my act together... need to reserve several days in advance.

We mostly drove up here to see Big Sur but ended up spending some time in Carmel Valley. We were only here for one morning so we grabbed some coffee and breakfast from Cafe Luna (which was great) and we took the 17 mile drive scenic drive along the coast and made all the stops along the way. They give you a pamphlet upon entering the park, which costs $10.50. It was worth it!

Carmel Valley is a lovely, picturesque town from which it is easy to get to Monterey and Carmel by the Sea. There are lovely hiking trails nearby. We especially enjoyed the Garland Ranch Park just down the road which has many trails of all levels of difficulty (walking and biking).
There are numerous restaurants in Carmel Valley and the three we tried were all excellent (Cafe Rustica, Thai Village, Trailside Cafe). Great coffee and pastries at the Wild Goose Cafe too.
BTW the picture for Carmel Valley is a bit misleading as it shows the coast on the Monterey Peninsula which is 17 miles away but easily accessible.

Everything is so easy to access.
Everything is so easy to access. Lots of good casual restaurants and services. The one outstanding shop that caught our attention was Qual & Olive that has a tremendous selection of California olive oils, vinegars and gifts.
Such a beautiful property and very close to the quaint town of Carmel Valley. Their gardens are lovely, the pool and hot tub were wonderful, and the continental "plus" breakfast a real treat. The bed linens were exceptionally soft (so nice and popular, in fact, that they sell them in their gift shop). There is also a charging station for electric cars.
The room and bed were really spacious. The bathroom needed a bit of TLC but overall it didn’t not affect our stay. The patio with view was lovely to have breakfast on. There were 20+ wine tasting rooms you could walk to from the hotel which were outstanding! Only about a 20 min drive to Carmel by the Sea.
Sweet little property located in the Carmel valley area.
Property is certainly old fashioned in its nature but as long as you are expecting this it is truly charming.
Bed was extremely comfortable. Room was lovely with some quaint features such as the fire effect heater and a lovely sitting area.
property charges me multiple times after check out. Also charging the full amount on two occasions, after admitting they were incorrect the first time. if you claim to be a luxury resort there shouldn’t be problems like this. get it right the first time
Comfortable, quiet, well-maintained property in a lovely setting. Sitting over coffee, fresh pastries and a copy of the Pine Cone, Carmel Valley's paper, taking in the south ridge of the Carmel range--what more to seek?
Pool and hothub were great. Room was clean and comfortable. Friendliness of the staff superb, made you really feel at home. Very nice restaurants nearby with excellent wine choices (Carmel Valley is a wine rich area).
Really cozy, pretty property run by wonderful people who take a lot of pride in it. Pool, hottub, a great homemade breakfast! Walking distance to all of the little shops on the Carmel Valley strip
Quiet surroundings. Staff are terrific. Clean and comfortable beds. Love the pool, theres also a sauna and hot tub but its not working probably due to covid. Its like a resort like hotel.
Clean, comfortable, simple but attractive decor; nice in-room amenities; very pet- and family-friendly! Walk to coffee, lunch, dinner and/or wine- & beer-tasting.
Spacious, clean room. Hotel Set in lovely surroundings with easy access to Carmel.
Pool an added bonus but unfortunately couldn’t use it due to the weather.
