My wife and I booked here last minute and ended up having a really lovely stay. The rooms are super basic, but were clean and roomy. We stayed in a fireplace room (more of a fire stove really),...

Just what we had hoped for!

We stayed at the Carmel Valley Lodge for 3 nights in March 2008. Our room was spacious with 2 queen beds and a small patio. Decor a little dated, not luxurious, but everything was extremely clean...

Run Down

To say this place is run down is a huge understatement. I room looked like something out of a 1960's TV show. The pool and spa was broken, the exercise room was a joke, and the breakfest was old...

Overrated, lots of problems

1. As others have mentioned, there is a $25 service fee added to the bill no matter what. I booked the room through Hotwire, which normally takes care of all taxes and fees, and still got a separate...

This is always a great stay!

We've been here twice and loved it both times. This time we were lucky enough to have a cottage with a fireplace. Part of the charm is the real wood fireplace ready for you to light with the s'mores...

Very Disappointing and overpriced for what it offers

The accommodations were dirty, loud, poorly kept, and uncomfortable! The LACK of AC made it very stuffy and hot, and the carpets had obviously not been vacuumed recently. Mattresses had protruding...

We just spent New Year's weekend at the Carmel Valley Lodge and had a wonderful time. It is comfortable and cozy and most importantly-- very dog friendly. The staff was wonderful, the complimentary...

My wife, dog and I come to the Lodge a few times a year to get away from the valley heat. We've been coming to the Lodge since 1999. The reason why we come here is because of the dog friendly town...

Dog and couple enjoyed it

Very dog friendly place and town! Quiet and relaxing. Hotel has nice large pool and grounds, but the hot tub looked really old and yellow so didn't try it. Dog even got to hang out with us on the...
