The location of the hotel is good and the hotel grounds and lobby are very attractive. We stayed for a week in mid-May and had a mostly good experience. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The housekeeping staff does a great job. The breakfast items were generous and very good (although they might want to invest... More

We thought this little hotel was a superb value. We didn't walk anywhere from it but we had only about a 1 minute drive to tons of restaurants and shops. This is not a luxury hotel, but its more than sufficient if you're on a budget. The room was clean and very large, gardens are beautiful, and breakfast was decent.... More

On first glance, this is a charming little hotel. The gardens are the best part of the establishment. We had room 17. It had an old queen size bed that was on the soft side. The toilet was broken, so we were always having to take off the lid to pull the chain so it would stop running. I was... More

We booked this hotel through Orbitz and a month and a half later we recieved an email saying that "your reservation came simultaneously as they were closing out inventory." If you are over booked you should have told us right away instead of waiting until two weeks before our trip leaving us with little time to find a reasonable price... More

We were greeted with a warm welcome. The room was really quaint, clean and good space. A 15 minute walk into Carmel and a short drive to Pebble Beach. Breakfast was great and plenty of it. Highly recommend, great value

The Inn itself was really comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed some wine on the balcony while watching the sun set. It was walkable to town, but it wasn't super close. Staff was friendly and the continental breakfast had plenty of options. A romantic stay.

We travel with our small dog and this hotel exceeded our expectations. We reserved over the phone and when we arrived our courtyard room was ready early. Our room was cozy and well appointed. The bed was comfortable, but only a double. The dog enjoyed the room and the courtyard. This was a good sign, since animals often have a... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Carmel Crystal Bay Inn. The room was old/quaint and comfortable. The expanded continental breakfast was quite good. The grounds were also quaint with bricked walk ways and lots of flowering plants. We were minutes from the entrance to the 17 mile drive and the shops of Carmel. All in all I was quite satisfied...

First time back to Carmel in 25 years. The location is very convenient. People very friendly. The breakfast was excellent. Parking a little tight. In fact our car got a dent from another SUV parked too close. Wish they had surveillance cameras to catch the perps. I would stay there again, but not bring my best car.

We brought our dog and had a lovely courtyard room. Comfortable and quiet and very close to town. We'll be back!
