The Los Laureles Lodge is beautiful - sweet, white fences, pretty gardens and great location. But when I took my children to the pool, we discovered that the area is open, for a small fee, to the public - there was blaring music, drunk young people, tattoos, coarse language, a bar - the whole bit. If we hadn't wanted to... more

I just booked the Lodge for a client retreat. The service was great, the food was unbelievable and the value was second to none. The Lodge is a great place for corporate meetings in a relaxing setting. We also loved utilizing the house for our nightly dinners. I highly recommend the Lodge! more

We stayed a couple weekends ago and had a great time. The small downtown area was quaint and the location is very close to great golfing, 17 mile drive, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and wonderful hiking trails less than a mile from property. The lodge has a very comfortable feel to it ... like you are the guests at someone's... more

We returned to the Lodge after having a wonderful weekend a year earlier and had an fantastic stay. The service, restaurant meals and rooms are excellent. The Lodge has lots of history, dating back to the 1800s and was owned by the Vanderbuilts. Yet it has all the modern amenities including a PC in the lobby and free Wi-Fi internet... more

Which was perfect for the girls getaway we had planned in wonderful Carmel Valley. The front desk clerk, Tony, was very accomodating and helpful. We stayed in the... more

We had high expectations after reading several reviews on tripadvisor.com and a recent 'Sunset' article about Carmel Valley, including the Los Laureles Lodge. We booked online and got a confirmation email quickly, that stated the rate due at the hotel (courtyard room for $122). We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and the person that checked us in, was not very... more

Nice property, relaxed atmosphere, pool guests very mixed (locals are welcome) with seniors, body builders, lots of tatoos and everyday middle aged couples accompanied by reggae and alternative music. Drinks and lunch is served poolside - liked it. Rooms a tad to rustic for my taste, the bed on Surrey (at least ours) room no. 2 terrible, the fold out... more

We have spent many weekends at Los Laureles, but this was out first trip in the summer and with our dog-Lily-a husky. As always the food was great at the Los Laureles Restaurant and they were very accomodating about serving us this exceptional meal out on the patio so our dog could be with us. Everyone is very friendly and... more
