Staff was courteous, location is good. Definitely could be a cool place - nice little cottages with parking adjacent. Property is run down and the interiors could use a refresh. Old dusty recliners and bed was worn out with a pit. Would not return.

Parking was awful. Extremely close quartered and hard to manuever. My "Bungalow" was right next to a run down shed that was falling apart. The exterior wood paneling of my bungalow was rotting away at the bottom. I couldn't sleep more than 2 hours and just checked out after said 2 hours and cut my vacation short. Staff was nice though. No kitchen, just a room with a bed and a bathroom. I will say that the inside was nicer than I expected from seeing the outside

I initially submitted a request for reimbursement for my stay at the Carmel Resort Inn, as the room was in unacceptable condition and far below the standards expected in Carmel-by-the-Sea. I was also disappointed that Expedia initially denied my request, as I expected better quality assurance when booking through a third party. The room issues were clearly documented in attached photos. The entry door has a visible gap and signs of tampering, compromising privacy and security. In the bathroom, the shower knob fell off, the shower head was loose and dripping, and there were holes in the wall. The flooring was severely uneven, making it feel like walking downhill inside the room. The vanity had two sets of fixtures, but only one worked, showing unresolved plumbing problems. This was especially upsetting because we were visiting for the Monterey Jazz Festival and had been looking forward to the trip. Instead, the poor condition of the room made the stay both uncomfortable and stressful. Given these issues, I respectfully requested a full reimbursement. If guest safety and satisfaction are priorities, a room in such disrepair should never be offered.
Door to the bathroom...unbelievable!
Entry door with obvious door tampering

Parking was adjacent to our cottage. I enjoyed the individual cottage rather than a room in a hotel. Our cottage was spacious with a fireplace. The recliner was so comfortable we felt like we could melt into it. Shopping is a good stretch of the leg if you want to avoid looking for a parking place in Carmel. The seafood was yummy. Watching the Halloween parade downtown Carmel was fun. We had a wonderful time.
