Carmel Lodge

Fantastic location with good rooms and comfy bed. Very nice to have the little breakfast of juice, fruit, pastries and coffee or tea. Really liked that there was no fee for parking. They let me leave our car for a few extra hours after checkout. Liked the art on the walls! Prints, but good artists.

Bathroom needs updating. Shower was tiny with low water pressure. Towels were not soft. Had to carry suitcases up stairs which can be a little tough if you're older. I got the feeling though, that they could provide help if you need it.

Great location and surprisingly good breakfast included.

Slightly run down. Pool empty and very run down.

Within walking distance of restaurants, shops and beach. Plus, an easy drive to places we visited such as Pebble Beach, Monterey Aquarium and Big Sur.

We reserved a room with a balcony; unfortunately, it was overlooking the parking lots of the two hotels across the street.
