Very clean with comfortable beds. TV kept losing signal, but righted itself. We arrived late and had to use phone listed on front door of office to check in. They left a cooler with a continental breakfast outside our door, which we did not expect!

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.
First thing if you do get a room in the block of rooms they have such the best view of Carmel River and all the animal life that goes up and down woke up to a blue heron probably 150 ft from my window fishing line on the river I don't know if you ever seen the movie vacation with Chevy Chase will in the beginning of the movie they show they traveled through Big Sur so I could truly say if the griswalts were going through they would have stayed at the River Inn:-)
The rooms were renovated, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is not very diversified (no eggs, cheese, cold meets, ...) but has the essential coffee, some pastries, cereals and a waffle machine :) The location is central to most shops and restaurants even though a bit further from the beach, however walkable. Considering it is Carmel by the Sea the price we had was excellent considering the quality of the Inn.
Loved the room and the balcony. Staff was friendly. We visited at Christmas time and the whole town was beautiful. The our room had a full kitchen and fireplace complete with furnished logs. Large bathroom. Located within walking distance of Carmel's main shopping and eating areas. We never used our car. We walked everywhere. Also walking distance from the beach but uphill back to the hotel.
Really well kept and clean hotel in Carmel. It has its specific style, but definitely well mantained and extremely clean.
Traveled in November, thus didn't use the pool, but that's a nice touch.
Location is just perfect, everything at walking distance.
The only hotel found in the trip in the US with a nice heating sytem that isn't noisy and keep temperature always stable in the room.
We had the downstairs room that was adjacent to the street. Surprisingly very little traffic noise. The galley kitchen and separate lounge were very useful during our stay.
The location was exceptional. Right in the heart of Carmel. Shops, restaurants and beach all within easy walking distance.
This hotel has ample site parking, has water filter fountain,complimentary bottles water, cookies n coffee, hot water for tea, infused lemon n cucumber water. Location is walkable to beach n stores n restaurant. I will stay again in this hotel if I happened to visit Carmel.
Cute but definitely a lot of deferred maintenance. Totally worth staying here if the price is good. The staff is nice. It is not walkable to Carmel by the sea attractions, but it is a good safe place to rest your head.
It was very comfortable!!! Great room / fireplace / parking/ hot tub/ quite. Breakfast was delicious. We have stayed in several other hotels in Carmel . Some much pricer. This was the best. You will see us again.
The hotel was really well positioned for exploring Carmel and having the car park and free nearby roadside parking was an added bonus. Across our 3 day stay we always got a space. The bedroom was really spacious.
Location, close to shops and restaurants - not far to drive to the beach, swimming pool and general feel of the hotel. Nice bar and restaurant, quiet even though close to a main road, you don't hear much noise
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.
Very central location to the shopping area as well as a number of restaurants. Easy walk to the beach.
Room is big and comfortable. Will stay here again when we next visit Carmen by the sea .
The beds, this was the best nights sleep I’d had in a hotel ever, so comfortable. Location was right in the heart of Carmel and an easy drive to Monterey. Historic and clean.
In the center of Carmel, close to everything, Free parking, the rooms are spacious and , overall it is very good value for money. I would come again to this hotel.
