Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"This is one of the most pet-friendly hotels I've ever experienced! The staff was so kind to both us and our pets! They even gave our doggies treats when we checked in. They had dog bags and trash cans scattered throughout the property, all conveniently located. We stayed in the main building of the hotel, but the entire property was so lovely and well-maintained. The room we stayed in was so comfortable! They also had individual cottages and cabins that looked adorable. We will definitely be returning and trying out one of those cottages! :)"
