We traveled with our dog and we loved how each cottage can enjoy your own privacy and the property has plenty of beautiful outdoor space and grounds to walk around our dog. The decor was also nice and the bathroom was updated. The location is very accessible to restaurants and grocery just across the way (though not walkable, it’s an easy less than 5 minute drive.) We got to enjoy the town and the beach all within less than 10 minutes drive from the inn.

Charming Cottages. Very convenient and close to Carmel Beach yet a bit removed. It was just as advertised, pleasantly. A couple cottages joined around the fire pit and roasted marshmallows, very enjoyable evening.

We loved the easy check-in, it was pet ftiendly, your own perdonal space at the cottage and beautiful and relaxing surroundings full of quiet. Definitely going back. Location was convenient to shops, restaurants, and gas stations.

Miguel's Gardens. Location. Staff.

Cute place. Didn't start in the cottages. Stayed in the main hotel. Didn't get in the pool. Had a nice firepit in the center of the cottages. Cute little river view from our balcony. No air conditioning so we had to leave the doors open until we went to sleep. Didn't get during the night so that was nice

Our stay was convenient to Carmel but we were quite disappointed with the room. It was definitely not as spacious as online photos indicated. It was a motel room with a very pokey badly lit bathroom and sink area. Decor was old looking. We needed a couple of maintenance things done as well. Staff were friendly and helpful which was a positive.

Beautiful place. Cottage cozy with fireplace

Nice place in the cabins

Staff was super nice as the bed was really comfortable but other than that was very ok - just a place to sleep

Have stayed here plenty of times over the years, but the most recent visit showed this place is slipping. Stayed in the upgraded studio cottage, and the hardwood floors weren't even wiped down before our stay and were quite dirty. Amenities in the bathroom were locked to the walls and some were even empty, like the lotion. They charge a steep one-time $125 pet fee per dog, but they used to give you a little doggy care package and some towels to lay down on the bed or use at the beach, but they don't even do that anymore. Be sure to double-check your credit card bill. I was charged twice for the full stay. I even confirmed this with "Miriam" so it wouldn't happen before they took my credit card for the pet fee, and due to incompetence on their end, it still happened. It's also not the first time I've been overcharged after checkout. They also barely even offered an apology for the major inconvenience to correct their mistake. Fortunately, good company and the rest of Carmel was great. I'll be looking at other hotels in the area for future visits and wouldn't recommend this place from now on to anyone.

The bed was very comfy. The room had a funky smell We put the sign on the outside of the door to have our room tidied up and we can back after being gone most the day and the room was not made up.

It was perfect. Got a cottage and it was very clean and up to date. I got the romance package and they did perfectly with it. I will most definitely stay again and recommend it to others

The property is nice and peaceful and decently priced. My fiancee and I relaxed and drank wine in the back porch next to the creek.

We loved the quiet atmosphere and the cute cottage decor.

Great location. Beautiful gardens around the cabins. Only 8 min drive to Carmel Mainstreet. So cozy and comfortable. Thank you for the great experience.

This place is lovely! Everything about is sweet, neat, clean and just precious! We really wish we could have stayed longer. Very comfortable and quaint.

Carmel River Inn was a fantastic experience. Great stuff, beautiful stay.

cabin was clean and very pleasant

Amazing!!! The casita was adorable and the grounds were very pretty! The staff were very helpful. My only advice is to not risk your life by ever turning left onto Highway 1 from the property entrance. There is no visibility for oncoming traffic which will be coming toward you at a very high rate of speed, so much safer just to take a right and make a U-turn in a safe spot down the road. This only applies to exiting the property. This was a wonderful place to stay! Would definitely recommend and would totally stay there again. Very relaxing!

The pictures of the cottages that the hotel advertises are not the same they offered me. The cottage is old, a lot of rust parts, specially in the bathroom. The shower is very small and uncomfortable to take a shower. Windows and sink had a lot of mold. I booked this cottage because of the ad, but it was all a lie.
