My wife and I spent a night at Carmel Valley Lodge during Labor Day Weekend. The customer service, attention to detail, and overall experience were outstanding. They have recently changed ownership, and every employee is doing their best to make the guest comfortable.
Not the best hotel in town, but probably the best price/quality option. I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed here for the 2019 Concours d'Elegance and learned that this inn is under new ownership. It was clear they are giving it the TLC it deserves. It is in a great location and the grounds are beautiful. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The staff are really striving to please. It is clear they are in the middle of improving the property; we could see areas that are still in need of some love, but we could also see the areas that have already received updates and attention.

Some tips for the new owners as they continue improvements: offer a soap dish at the sink in rooms, increase the height of shower heads in bathrooms, add more outlets and in better locations to charge devices, hang full-length mirrors in rooms.

To future guests perusing this property: Stay here! You won't be disappointed and I bet your stay will be even better than ours was as they work to make it even better.
