the breakfast is quite possibly one of the most incredible things about this hotel. They provide it with your reservation, and it is cooked for you, offered in the room or at a beautiful outdoor courtyard on property with a fireplace. The staff was very helpful, and offered amenities like free rides up the hill to the center of town. This hotel is down by the beach, just a block away, which is why I chose to stay here vs 6 blocks up hill in the center of town. It is quiet, private, a nice sanctuary. they place a lot of emphasis on their spa and the bathrooms. Those latter are amazing, each (I believe) has a tub with bath salts, etc, plus robes, slippers. I did not try the spa, but it seemed to be a destination for many of those staying there. (We were there in the offseason, February). The hotel’s food is quite good too although we only had snacks and a couple drinks at their bar. I believe the rates are a good value, for what you receive.

This is our third time coming to Carmel, and if I win the lotto, I will buy here. It is like nothing else you can experience on the West Coast. There are so many shops, wine tasting, hundreds of wonderful restaurants, and, did I say shopping? We coordinated this trip with a concert at the Sun Set Center. If you can attend a concert there, you will not be let down. It was amazing and within walking distance.

Carmel is a wonderful place to visit, we were lucky that the weather was so GOOD. The town has many great shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a wonderful pace to celebrate a special occasion and there is Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive!!

Carmel is a cute, charming seaside town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Mostly all parking is on-street parallel parking. The Adobe Inn, where we stayed, is located within a block of all the restaurants and shops and even has its own parking garage located below the Inn. At night the town pretty much clears out after 9 or 10, but walking back to the Inn felt safe. The town is also a great base if you are planning on visiting Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, or Big Sur.

The morning and afternoon is the best time to spend it in Carmel. During night time it’s not lit up as you think it would be. But during the day it’s absolutely amazing. All the shops, cafes, restaurants. The walking. Everything is near by. The beach to the town is like 10 min walk. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 days

Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel.
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel. A lot of good restaurants to eat, not cheap, but a long list of great places. Friendly people. Great beach and other beaches near by. You can visit Monterey, close by.
We loved the heated pool and the gym. The beds were comfortable. We only discovered the shops, bars and restaurants behind the hotel on the last day. These are very close and would be great for a meal (if only the reception staff had of told us when asked could we walk to a restaurant on the first day after a long drive while waiting to check, we were told no for some strange reason!) Plenty of stores and coffee shops nearby which was great for breakfast. About 5 min drive to the town or beach.
It was very close to town and we really enjoyed that it was an indepentently owned hotel. The room was spacious and there was a little cute courtyard with a table (it seemed it was primarily for use for the rooms directly off the courtyard, but we sat there anyway!). The fireplace warmed the place right up. It also made a big difference traveling as a family to have 1.5 bathrooms in our room. The hotel itself is a great value for the Carmel area. We would stay there again.
Excellent location, service and value. Place was clean, perfect temperature, and we even had an ocean view something that wasn't expected. Also the staff was the some of the best staff I've ever had at a hotel, super friendly and helpful. As someone that's stayed many times in Carmel this was by far the best inn we've stayed at and will definitely stay here again as the location, value, cleanliness, and quietness is worth it.
Excellent location, with the town of Carmel less than a 10-minute walk and the beach just a little over 20 minutes on foot. The outdoor communal area at the hotel was a nice touch and we enjoyed relaxing there in the evening after wandering around the town, with comfortable seating, and fires to keep us warm when the temperature dropped off.
Its a neat, simple hotel, and well located in Carmel. Easy to walk down to main Carmel streets for accessing restaurants and shops. We had a room on the top floor - which had an outstanding view of the Carmel town and a sea view. The property is located on a slight incline - which makes the views even better. Rooms are spacious, but simple.
Great location in Carmel. There is a swimming pool which we didn’t use but others were using. 15 min walk to Carmel beach. Bit old fashioned but suited vibe of Carmel. Tonnes of parking. There was a fridge and a microwave and little kitchen area in the room. Close to some great restaurants.
This is a lovely boutique hotel with a warm, luxurious feel. We liked the Asian theme and felt pampered just walking into the room. We were within walking distance of restaurants and the beach. Staff were friendly and in general, a great stay. Would book again!
Beautiful little hotel in Carmel, with wonderful helpful and friendly hosts. Rooms have an open fireplace, ready to use which we really appreciated. Its location is perfect, close to the town centre, nature reserve and the beach.
Love the beautiful landscaping and spread out rooms. The cottage style rooms with high ceilings are wonderful. It is a relaxing quiet spot with just a 6 minute drive into downtown Carmel for shopping and walking on the beach.
Carmel Garden Inn is a wonderful, clean and cosy property. Located in a tranquil zone in Carmel by the sea, I would recommend the place. Curtis, the manager of the property, is very helpful and available at all times.
Excellent location and room lovely and clean, Idesl for exploring Carmel and the beach. Staff were exceptional even returning my credit card that I dropped in hotel car parking so thank you Denette you’re a star!!
This is an older hotel in a great location. The parking is completely lacking in terms of the price. The dog friendly room was on the 2nd floor, the stairs were very steep and difficult for our dog.
I did not have the breakfast. The location was perfect close to the beach. My daughter’s first time in Carmel by the sea. She was very impressed with our stay at Normandy Inn we both were.
Everything! The location is spot on, parking is easy, and the staff were wonderful. The little extras that are included make this hotel have a boutique feel. We loved it.
The location was the best. We could easily walk everywhere from the hotel. Parking was easy.
The hotel included parking.
Warm cozy room.
