Carmel Valley Lodge — Hotel in Monterey

The streaming situation on the LED tvs is non-existent & it’s decorated with things a hoarder would have picked up at a rummage sale, but the beds are insanely comfortable & you’re better off here than the Hyatt or even La Playa frankly. Okay maybe not La Playa but def Cypress Inn or Bernardus.

It’s clearly not a chain hotel & the aesthetic is “hearts & flowers & friends” but there are modern luxuries that bigger places are just catching on to; like a water filtration machine by the rad, clean pool to refil your reusable water bottles in an environmentally responsible way. And a bean bag toss game. And great semi-private forested patios with super comfy chairs to read & relax & do some writing in the clean, fresh CV air. Or a super luxe fireplace inside the room to keep toasty on crisp valley nights. The sheets are micro-fiber, but that doesn’t bother me here for some reason & that notwithstanding are very soft. The skincare products are basic but modern & smell quite nice. Bonus stars for other thoughtful touches like misc, clean “rag” towels that come in handy to de-grub the occasional paw after a walk in the great little park within walking distance & the oversize & plush pool towels. Yoga on weekends too even which sounds divine outside with the gorgeous canyon views.

For what it’s worth I am a Bonvoy Gold Elite level & stay at a LOT of hotels for travel-this one is a place I look forward to returning for the peacefulness & comfort of the crazy comfortable beds. I was more comfortable here than at the Ritz Half Moon Bay. As such, the style choices I am able to overlook. They aren’t dated, just not super hip I guess I would say. Or super cohesive. Which is more my personal hangup & your opinion may in all likelihood vary. Regardless it doesn’t affect the high level of cleanliness or comfort here. I can hang with watching Sanditon on my phone for a night & the charms of local cable to experience those lovely Zzzzs at this little lodge in the Valley. Highly recommend this hidden gem for comfort,...

My recent stay at Carmel Valley Lodge was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Carmel Valley, this charming property provided the perfect retreat during my golfing trip to Pebble Beach.

What a beautiful location! The multitude of lovely and unique blossoms surrounding the property made for a stunning welcome (and we realize the amount of time and effort required to make this happen). The gentleman who checked us in described all the features of the lodge in perfect detail, gave us restaurant recommendations, and even supplied welcome dog treats for our pups. |The room was spacious and clean, with the fluffiest of bath linens and a large mini-fridge with freezer! And how smart to include “clean-up towels” for the pups so that we didn’t have to use those fluffy towels. It also featured a charming sitting area on the patio, and a beautiful pool.|The “continental” breakfast the next morning was much more than expected, with hot oatmeal, yummy breakfast breads and waffles with fresh fruit. And what a beautiful garden space to enjoy one’s morning meal!|The location is perfect, with just a short walk to town for a nice selection of restaurant options.|And being pet friendly, this was the perfect place for our stay. The experience was one we look forward to repeating the next time we are...
