Independent hotels in Carmel Beach Walk, Carmel

"We checked in on Sunday afternoon which was the last day of the very big annual "Car Week" events on the peninsula. This meant alot of very cool - and some very "throaty", powerful cars on the roads, including Junipero St right in front of the hotel. But by Monday & Tues the noise of cars passing by out front reving their engines had for the most part passed. Not a big deal for us, we only overlapped this cacophopny by a day during out stay. The location is great - especially the WONDERFUL deli market "Bruno's" right next door. Great wine selection at market (vs restaurant) prices, so we shared a bottle of our favorite wine in our room or by the pool every night, before walking to dinner, so we only had to buy one glass each at restaurant prices ($13 - $20 per glass). EVERYTHING in Carmer is within easy walking distance, even the beach. And I used the pool all 3 days we were there, to cool off in the afternoon and read my book. The rooms have great mattresses, first class fixtures (new windows, shutters, bath fixtures), all very classy & cozy. Even a gas fireplace! (No air conditioning, but we left the windows open at all times, even when we were out each day, and locked valuables in our car. You never need to move your car while in Carmel, staying this close to everything. We actually needed to use the fireplace each morning, in August, because it gets so cool ovenight. Don't miss the free breakfast each morning...it will save you at least $30 for two, vs eating out!!"

"This lodge was perfect, your right on the river and we had plenty of space to put our motorcycles. "

"The cottages were nice, it felt like you had your own space. Everyone was very nice. The front desk was too understated and we didn’t see it right away. Also the beds made a ringing tone if bumped and that disturbed my daughter "

"Clean friendly staff Walking distance to Dennys. If you prefer not to drive somewhere to eat. I booked a standard queen room not realizing there wasn't a coffee maker. Which it turned out ok because we were right around the corner from the office which had fresh coffee every morning. Also no hairdryer. I had to borrow one from the office. Would stay again, but would book a suite which has a coffee maker."
