Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"The location itself is beautiful, it’s close to town and 12 minutes to Monterey. The staff were very courteous and helpful. They have coffee in the office and a food truck in the mornings. I was not able to enjoy the food truck because my schedule was packed but I am definitely looking forward to return here. I felt safe and well taken care of"

Le Petit Pali at Ocean Ave

10/10 Excellent

"The details MATTER here! Every little inconvenience you could think of, they tried to offer some solution for it. It’s a beautiful room that’s cozy, filled with Diptyque products to unwind to in the shower, Marvis toothpaste samples, and even a little Nespresso machine with both tea and coffee options. They give you cookies every night. The free breakfast in the morning is so curated and aesthetic. You’re welcomed with glass of rosé upon arrival. They even have one of those British water heating bags in case you get cold at night for the ultimate comfy sleep. The only caveat is there’s no AC to control in the room and the walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors - but again, they give you ear plugs for that!! Wonderful stay, will likely stay again the next time and make it a little ritual each year."

Pine Inn

8/10 Good

"Two down falls…no elevator…stairs fairly steep…too much for anyone with knee problems…and terrible parking…first come first serve…had to drive around for 30 minutes until a spot came available…nostalgic setting…antique furniture…super nice, comfortable bed…beautiful lobby…very inviting with a fireplace…excellent Italian restaurant connected to the hotel…Andy, the manager, was wonderful…very personable…delicious entrees and fabulous desserts!!"
