Top Carmel Valley Hotel Reviews

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very nice and was in the condition expected for being a renovated motel. The room was clean, but there were a few cosmetic things left undone or missed during renovations. This being said, it didn't affect our stay, and I don't think it'll affect yours either. I'd definitely recommend this place for a nostalgic stay while in the Moterey Bay Area."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Nice trip, beautiful hotel,"

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our time at the hotel. It isn’t a great location right next to the Barnyard which had some great restaurants and where my wife got a massage. It was also across the street from another strip mall that had a lot of other convenient places. And it was only 2 miles away from Carmel-by-the-Sea where we went and had a great dinner at La Bicyclette. We ended our night with a drink at the onsite restaurant which was very nice. I would definitely recommend this for your stay in Carmel."

Pacific Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and a good price! The hotel was clean and quiet for being on a main road. Easy check in and out….highly recommend!"

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"This is a really great hotel if you are staying in Monterey. The rooms are spacious so you can actually but a kid or two in the room with you without feeling you are on top of each other. And you can walk to the aquarium and all the kid-friendly activities."

Hidden Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean, staff was nice and helpful and we were able to park close to our room. Missed having a jacuzzi but it was not necessary. Would stay here again"

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 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."
