Carmel River Inn Reviews Summary

  • Hotel review by Ortiz

    Ortiz

    Pleasant

    Clean property with a great location.

    Pros: Everything about the property was to our liking. The pillows couldve been a little more cushioned but other than that the place was comfortable.
    Cons: I didnt like the 3pm check in and 11am check out. Thats not even 24 hours in the property.

  • Hotel review by Oakgee12

    Oakgee12

    Wonderful

    Charming well furnished cottage close to Big Sur and Carmel.

    Pros: We had a small vintage cottage with a kitchenette to ourselves. Comfortable King sized bed with luxury linens. Heater in the unit was efficient for this cold weekend. The kitchenette had a coffeemaker, fridge, microwave and 2burner electric cooktop. If it had been warmer & less rainy we also could have used the lounge chairs outside.
    Cons: No place to sit except for bed & kitchen chairs. Minimal closet space. We didnt spend too much time inside and we dont bring fancy clothes so this wasnt a big concern to us. It is a very small cottage and the space is used efficiently.

    Pros: Sparkling clean rooms right next to the river! Michael is lovely and goes out of his way to be sure your stay is comfortable. Jacob provided great local tips. Ive stayed at several hotels in downtown Carmel. This will be my new go to as situated perfectly away from all of the chaos but still accessible. Great value for Carmel!
    Cons: Nothing

  • Hotel review by Wendy

    Wendy

    Wonderful

    A really fun place to stay of looking for cottage/cabin-type accommodations. Staff is great.

    Pros: We are local and wanted something different for a 50th birthday girls weekend near Carmel by the Sea. Quick ride share to downtown (2-3 miles) or walk down and across the street ( Highway 1) for available shopping and dining (About half a mile) The cabin we stayed in was a newer one and really nice. And clean! You cant exactly SEE the Carmel River, but it is just over the berm. The whole cottages area is so cute. Cant wait to see how all the new landscaping grows in in the coming years. The young man that checked me in was very friendly and pleasant.
    Cons: If anything, maybe some weed eating couldve been done around the back side of the cabin, but we were just coming off a big storm so that is totally forgivable.

    Very Good

    Good location

    Pros: Location was really pretty and ease of check in was great. The facilities staff were all very nice and professional.
    Cons: I thought the room was more like a cabin in an open space from the pictures but I think that was actually showing a totally different area. I probably wouldn't have booked the room if I saw the pictures of the room I stayed in.

    Pros: It's a gem. I truly love that area the Carmel. River, There was one of the biggest gathering places for native Tribes. You're in the most perfect place. Because you can go to the beach, you can go to The Valley. You could easily go down the coast. You easily make it into Monterey. And it's really a beautiful place to stay.
    Cons: Nothing at all. I will got everything. I wanted a beautiful clean room. Wonderful surroundings and charming people.

    Overall not great. Will never be staying here again since its dirty.

    Pros: The property is in a great location
    Cons: The bathroom was dirty. Their were lots of dead bugs on the floor and their was ants all over the bathroom. They dont offer cleaning services during your stay and when I brought this up to the clerk they didnt do anything about it.
