Top Carmel Valley Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent

"Room was amazing. The fireplace was nice to have in the room. Easy to get around Monterey from the property"

Hotel Abrego

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly surprised at the lovely room, courteous staff and great location. We don't drink wine, but the wine vouchers were a nice touch. (We gifted them to some other travellers) My only issue was the fireplace worked intermittently and there was not enough counter space in the bathroom. All in all we would stay there the next time we are in Monterey and definitely will recommend the Abrego!"

Carmel Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Front Desk staff was friendly and helpful. I requested an early check in, but unfortunately they could not accommodate me. The room was clean and well appointed. Bathroom was equipped with all the toiletries one might need. Beds were made up on the second day of our stay and we appreciated that. Parking was a little challenging only in the fact that the Inn was filled to capacity. Its in a great centralized location, with easy access to Hwy 1. Breakfast at the Sherwood restaurant located in the motel was delicious. Our server was timely and nice. I would highly recommend the Carmel Mission Inn and plan to stay the next time I'm in Carmel."

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

"Breakfast is good"

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location, excellent price. It can be a bit noisy in the morning if your room is facing the street."

Pacific Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This will be where I’ll stay when in the Monterey Bay Area in the future. It’s a well-appointed room, pleasant and with everything we need."

Bay Breeze Inn

8/10 Good

"Clean room"

Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, friendly staff and a fantastic complimentary breakfast! The place was old school and quaint, nothing modernized. We stayed for a few days during a family wedding weekend. The staff is everything. Very accommodating and friendly. The chef making the complimentary breakfast was fantastic - best avocado toast I've had! Hot eggs/quiche/frittatas on the weekends. The accommodations were rustic with some rooms being more updated than others. Regardless, the room was extremely clean along with the rest of the property. The pool was wonderful. It gets much hotter in the valley than in the town of Carmel, 17 mile drive, Monterrey so layer up."

Holman Ranch Estate Vineyard & Winery

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, secluded, well-kept property."
