Clarion Collection Carmel Oaks Inn

Very friendly welcome, good explanation about the room and the surrounding area. The central location and walking distance to the beach as well as the small breakfast in the morning. Very charming town though focusing on wealthy people rather than average tourists.

WiFi unfortunately did not work in the room in the evening and morning. The water pressure in the shower was practically non-existent.... But that was really the only thing that can be criticized. Otherwise, top price-performance ratio and very central location to reach all amenities on foot.

Comfortable, super clean, plenty of towels and pillows, as described, very conveniently located and within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Friendly, helpful staff on site,

There’s a discrepancy in on site paid fees vs quoted amount from Booking.com. very unusual amount, $62.15. I am hopeful this is resolved my on site management in day or two. I am confident, once I explained the matter, it will be resolved.

The front desk accommodated my evening check in time. The location was convenient. The room was clean and everything was working. The bed was comfortable, and it had a nice full bathroom with a tub. The continental breakfast basket was delivered outside my door in the morning with fruit, yogurt, juice, breakfast bars, and was delightful!

There needs to be several bottles of purified water in the room. And it would be helpful to have a note posted next to the phone inside the room on how to ring through to the front desk.

Carmel Oaks Inn is a very quiet, clean, comfortable hotel. Rooms have everything you need. It is very close to all shopping boutiques end great restaurants. Our room had a balcony with a table and two chairs. When you walk up the stairs to get to the second floor, there is a cozy terrace with tables and chairs where you can sit and enjoy glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is delivered to your door at no extra cost! Staff is very welcoming. It was a very pleasure stay.

We wanted to celebrate the 4th of July with a trip to Carmel and were willing to pay post-pandemic prices ($$$) to get away from home for a few days. This hotel property is located in very close proximity to all of the town's best restaurants, art galleries, cafe's and is not too far from the beach. We walked everywhere, and left our car at the hotel, which was so helpful given the very challenging parking situation. The hotel manager was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. They provided a small picnic basket every morning with cereal, milk, yogurt, fruit, oj, and breakfast bars, which was very thoughtful and helped us keep our expenses in check during the trip. The room itself was one of the small king rooms on the 2nd floor. It was clean, and had everything we needed including a mini refrigerator, microwave, desk/chair, flat screen TV, working heat, lots of light in the room, overhead fan, usb and regular outlets in convenient locations, and a shower with hot water and good water pressure. We found it to be quiet and restful. The one negative I would share is that the bed itself was not overly comfortable (too hard) and I woke up a few times in the night due to this, but recognize this is a matter of personal preference. This was our first time staying here and we would absolutely come back. We hope prices have come down a bit by then as the world returns to normal!

Breakfast basket in the morning was a nice surprise!!

Arrived late, so unable to part at the facility

The breakfast was very well presented and a good variety.

The location was superb, everything was in easy walking distance. It was very quiet. The bed was super comfortable. The shower was decent. The staff were helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

The coffee machine in the room was a filter machine and the coffee bag provided did not make a decent brew. Only shampoo and conditioner provided. No shower gel or shower cap.

Roger was so friendly and accommodating. The room was not the cleanest, but expected for the price range.

The hotel was listed under pet friendly and they are in fact NOT a pet friendly hotel. We would have chose a. Different place to stay as Carmel is SUPER pet friendly. This was made aware to the staff and should be updated. We arrived at midnight to a letter that stated No Pets with two little dogs after a 4 hour drive. Was unsettling to say the least.

This property was super cute and quaint matching the rest of the amazing community around it, the room was clean and updated with lots of amenities for a great price compared to the places near by. Staff was very nice and accommodating, we had an excellent stay

The only thing I can comment on is that I was confused where I was supposed to check in. We did check in later in the night (around 9:30pm) so the front office wasn’t open, we had to call to figure out that we were checking in at the inn a couple doors down. Once we figured that out the office was still in walking distance and caused no issue at all, just an FYI if you happen to check in later in the night
