Just about perfect--if you can get past the atrocious phone service. When you call and ask for reservations, you're put on hold for an eternity, then disconnected. Then when you redail, you're told to call an entirely different number, only to get redirected to reservations again. Then when you finally get someone, you're put on hold for 15 mins, THEN... more

We have family in Carmel and have traveled there a number of times. This lodging is a basic choice that offers convenience but no romance or special qualities of its own. We chose to stay at the Carmel Lodge because (1) It boasted a "family room" at a good price, (2) purportedly includes a continental breakfast, and (3) is pet-friendly.... more

I recently traveled to Carmel for a family wedding. We reserved three rooms on Hotwire, and ended up with the Carmel Lodge. I was concerned because after reading more about the hotel, the only rooms that have two beds are the family suite, and that wasn't the room category that we received with our internet booking. I called the hotel... more

Stayed in one of the premium rooms on first floor with a balcony. Room looked recently refurbished although they hadn't done the bathroom. Large room with king sized bed plenty of space with easy chairs and table in room too. Booked through hotels.com the day before and got a good rate. Location is perfect just 2 blocks from Ocean Avenue... more

Even better than I remember (probably has something to do with the new management)!! The Carmel Sands has recently been freshed up which makes it an even better find than before!!! Great location, comfy new beds, walk distance from all shops/ restaurants and the beach and even has an on-site restaurant with room service! more

I recently stayed at Carmel Lodge with my dog for a weekend get away. This hotel was a lot less expensive than the place I stayed last time, but was still clean, safe, and in a great location. We could walk everywhere including the beach. At night I felt safe walking to go out and there was plenty of lighting-... more

This is a great place for families because it's location to downtown and the concierge service points you in all the right places. Room are very cozy which is important if you've got kid(s). Had a very nice time and didn't break the bank! more

ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO OTHER DIVES AROUND TOWN! Carmel Lodge is in a great location, near great shopping (just two blocks off of Ocean Avenue) and a short beautiful walk to the beatuiful and historic Carmel Beach. It boats an on-site Restaurant with Room Service - also full bar at restaurant on site...which, if you're married to a man like my... more

My fiance and I stayed here with friends for a friend's wedding nearby. We stayed in the "premium rooms" which were a bit pricier but worth the extra cost - our friends stayed in the standard rooms are just great too. EVERYTHING is in walking distance (restaurants, galleries, nice walk to the beach, great bar nearby called Brophy? Not sure... more
