The location is perfect for it's location. A walking distance from the beach however walking back is a bit challenging for the unfit person. The beach is perfect for that sunset photos. It's also surrounded with some shops and restaurants. Only downside is that this lodge lack some amenities like microwave to heat your food if you get hungry past midnight. read more

Everything, always. Friendly, helpful staff, excellent rooms, amenities, and location, nice, continental breakfasts.

Came to Carmel for a mid week get away and like to try new places to stay. The service is attentive and welcoming. The room is clean. The location is amazing. It's a few blocks from Ocean beach and close to all the shops and restaurants on Ocean Ave. There is continental breakfast (we didn't partake) and coffee and cookies in the lobby. The coffee is strong and robust. Couple of things that contribute to why only 4 stars ... there's no AC and it was during the heatwave so that was a little rough. The TV is small (relative to the wall it's hanging on so it feels comical) and is left justified vs center of the wall, thus the angle is off as it's not aligned with the bed (which is opposite the wall the TV is on). Similar to what other Yelp reviews share, it is a little noisy as you can hear your neighbors. Bring earplugs or if you are a deep sleeper, it should be fine. read more

We stayed for two nights during the week before Christmas 2024. Erika was especially helpful with the check-in process and explaining the amenities that are offered by the Lobos Lodge. We had an upper level King bed room. The room was spacious and extremely clean. The Wi-Fi speed was acceptable with a 37mbps Down and 21mbps Up. This is far better than the Wi-Fi speed and some of the other hotels in downtown Carmel. This was a very pleasant stay and we are looking forward to another visit during December of 2025. read more

WARNING: DO NOT STAY IN ROOM 17! The worst 3 nights of sleep I have ever had in my entire life! Free coffee in the lobby, you will need it because you won't be sleeping at this place! See my list of pros/cons of our stay. Pros: Location- Right in the heart of downtown Carmel, walking distance to all restaurants/shops and minutes from the beach. Customer Service/hospitality- excellent customer service, free coffee/tea and cookies all day in the lobby. Daily mini-bite breakfast. Rooms- spacious/vaulted ceilings, separate bathroom and getting ready area. Fireplace and balcony/patio area depending on room. Cons: Rooms- super thin walls- it was like we were sleeping next to our very loud neighbor who not only snored but choked and gagged all night log, fireplace doesn't really give off heat - nice touch for ambience, breakfast is warmed up pastry and juice. My boyfriend can sleep through anything but he was always tossing and turning due to the walls being so paper thin. However, if you are a moderate to light sleepy DO NOT STAY IN ROOM 17! This room is located directly above the housekeeping/laundry and kitchen area. The staff is so loud all morning, from 6am-12pm be prepared for constant talking and loud movement, cabinets and doors being opened and slammed. It was the worst 3 nights of sleep I have ever had! read more

All in all, a wonderful home base for our Carmel Journey. The weekend rate was reasonable...for a Carmel hotel. If you want to stay in a decent hotel with an actual shower, prepare to splurge!!!! Location was an A+ right off ocean Ave - directly across from the shops and an easy stroll to the beach Check in was breezy. I liked that they offered free cookies and coffee. Our room was the size of a large studio apartment...complete with a cozy little porch - that faced a quiet residential street. The bed was plush, and I appreciated the living room touches. The shower pressure was decent and I appreciate that the shower/toilet were separated from the sink. The decadent bathrobes painted me a queen. And I could have spent the entire weekend - dressed in the bathrobe - alternating between the porch and the bed! But, alas, there is Carmel to discover! The one con: the breakfast was lackluster (although I do appreciate that it was delivered!) A half a glass of canned orange juice, an Activa yogurt (at least they want to keep you regular!) and a day-old- pastry (one day was a meager Boureka, and the other day was a sad, dry, croissant). A Mr. Coffee machine provided coffee - but - is that even coffee? All in all, a wonderful home base for our Carmel Journey. We will definitely be returning. read more

Stayed here one night, day after Christmas and I loved it. You can hear the waves crash from Room 11. Nancy and Mark were very helpful and super personable. This place is very reasonably priced compared to some other Carmel village hotels. Close walk to everything especially the beach. I'll stay here again. read more

Lobos Lodge - Couple blocks from hotel - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, California

I absolutely loved the room initially, but was severely let down by poor customer service and disrespectful management. I called for maintenance after my first shower - it was so badly clogged that the water rose halfway up my leg, also the refrigerator wasn't cooling. Gross but minor inconveniences. The real disrespect came from the maintenance man and the head manager. My employer, who booked the room, noticed the maintenance man giving him a nasty look. We assume it was either due to my employer's race or the fact that my employer walked away from the car (which was parked in the hotel lot), and the maintenance man assumed he was not a hotel guest. Regardless it is not his business to be a parking lot detective. The following morning, I parked the car in the lot before heading to work - the parking job was slightly crooked (by about two inches), but I was in a rush, the lot was empty, and I knew my employer would use the car within 30-40 minutes. When he went to use the car, he found a nail that had been positioned at an angle towards one of the tires, and our air cap for the tire was missing (along with fingerprints). I went to address my concerns with the front desk manager, regarding the maintenance man and our car. She was concerned and fully on my side until we approached the truck and she realized it was their employee. Immediately she flipped the script and went to his defense. She claimed that he "would never do that". Meanwhile, the maintenance man failed to let me get a full sentence out, in between his defensive banter and snickering (this was the face of a guilty man who did not care that his actions could've caused a life threatening accident). I was then met with attitude when I asked to speak with the manager's supervisor, to which she responded "It's me, I'm the queen". There was no accountability, respect, or apology until check out day when I spoke with a different front desk agent. It was nerve wracking and scary to finish my stay after this whole ordeal. I would never stay here again, and if you chose to do so, watch your tires. read more

We found out that the hotel has 1 free night with 2 nights paid. When we walked in yesterday and booked our 2 night stay, the front desk refrained from mentioning that we can stay another night fir free. Today, I contacted the front desk and stated that I would like to get my third night, but to my surprise I was told I should have requested it the day before. This did not make any sense and it felt like I was totally cheated. The person I talk to felt very uneasy and agreed with me that it seems as a cheat, but the supervisor didn't relent. I'm sorry to state that this is totally unhonorably read more

Lobos Lodge - The add showing the deal offered by the hotel. They refused to go or it - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, California

We recently spent three wonderful days at Lobos Lodge. Only great things to say about it. Friendly staff, extremely clean room, nice lite breakfast snack brought to room at time of your choosing, coffee and cookies in lobby plus coffee maker and refrigerator in the room. They have a hot water maker for tea drinkers as well on request. Spacious room with sitting area and high ceilings. We love room 27 with balcony on Ocean. Only a few blocks to beach and shops. We have returned many times over the years and always are impressed. read more

Made reservations for a ocean view room well over a month ago for our 20th anniversary. Got to the lodge and they had changed us to a non - view room with absolutely no notice whatsoever. And yes they were aware of the importance of the occasion. We complained and were told too bad basically. Take it or leave it. So we left it. Our wedding party stayed here when we got married on Carmel Beach 20 years ago so it was sentimental to us to stay here for our 20th. We will never ever stay here again nor would we advise anyone to stay here. Front desk was not helpful at all nor was the General Manager. No sincere apology whatsoever to make up for the change. None. " we left you a VM" they said. They did NOT call and leave me a message so we were totally blindsided by the change and yea we were (and are) pissed. One star is overly generous for the rating BTW. Stay somewhere else where they actually appreciate your business cause these people do not care about their customers at all. read more

Because they don't do online reservations, we were able to get a room here for the 4th of July holiday weekend just a few days in advance! Plus it was definitely a good deal for Carmel (not cheap by any means, but nothing is here). Everything was great SERVICE: They have really great service; whomever was at the front desk was always friendly and professional. There's the standard room cleaning, but then in the evening (often timed while we were at dinner), they come in and lightly tidy up your room again (make the bed but take off the top cover) and put an Andes chocolate mint on your pillows. How cute. LOCATION: Right off Ocean Ave, close to all the shopping & restaurants. On the lower part of the hill so it's just a few blocks from the beach! THE LODGE: Cookies, fruit, and coffee available all day at the front desk. I like that all the rooms are on different levels and it's kind of like a cute little maze to get around. It's a very homey vibe here. No outdoor common/hangout space, but there are a few couches/seats at the front desk area by the coffee. We would go to the LampLighter Inn a couple blocks down and sit in their common area outside with the fire -- that was nice. THE ROOM: Huge, nicely decorated! - Outdoor balcony: but no view and was completely accessible by walkways going around the complex so it wasn't very private, so get one on the top floor if possible. - Fireplace: turns on with a lightswitch. - No iron & board in the room, but they provide one if you ask (it's a tiny board that you have to put on top of a table). - Bathroom: really nice in that there's a lot of counter space and there's a separate door to the toilet - Closet: however, the only closet available in the room was in bathroom by the sink. - - - Mini-fridge: inside a small armoir, which also had a coffee-maker on top. - A bowl with apples that they refill every day! BREAKFAST: Daily continental, with a newspaper. I'm really glad it's not a huge buffet; we get pretty good quality stuff, don't overeat, all enjoyed in the privacy of our room. We also set the time that they would bring our breakfast. We got a choice of drink (we chose juice), and the breakfast came with oikos yogurt, a pastry (toasted muffin, Danish pastry), a small vase of flowers. Friday breakfast: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lobos-lodge-carmel?select=x9SP82Upd9JKbtXj7-waKQ#x9SP82Upd9JKbtXj7-waKQ Saturday breakfast: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lobos-lodge-carmel?select=x9SP82Upd9JKbtXj7-waKQ#z3pugo2APolTc1nG7RJPXA WI-FI: The only con here.

This sweet little lodge is just perfect. Recommend room 44. Has a view of the ocean and sunset. So cozy and has a very large tub if you'd like a late night soak. Perfectly located off of Ocean ave near all the restaurants and shops. read more

Stayed 5 nights, so peaceful, could hear the ocean from our room. Would recommend room 36, good ocean view. Breakfast delivered to your door in the morning. Rooms are spacious, very clean, comfortable bed. Staff is diligent in keeping the property looking good. read more

We had a nice stay at Lobos Lodge. We came really late at night on a Friday and parking was almost filled. We had to park on the other side of the parking lot from our room. Also, not the best driving surface for lowered vehicles. Thankfully our room was ground floor. Bringing two kids up some of those stairs would have been really bad. If you are bringing kids if special request a ground floor room. Our room was large and spacious with a small couch sitting area, a dinning table and a fireplace. All be it decorated with some 90's flare, it was ok. We had two double queen beds. They were comfy but they were on wheels and I noticed all through our stay that the bed was constantly being moved away from the wall. It bothered me because I was afraid my baby would slip into the gap between the head board. Your stay does come with breakfast everyday. We had Croissants and Yoplait Yogurt & Juice. The second day was assorted Danish with Juices and Yogurt. My son loved it. I'm a bacon and eggs type of gal but my husband and son were happy. The fireplace was nice in room but again, not so great with preschoolers. He kept wanting to mess with the buttons and at one point he accidentally bumped his arm on the hot glass. Nothing serious but not something you really want to have to deal with on a trip. We loved our private patio. It was nice to leave the room door open and let our little guy run around and play back and forth. An added bonus is that this place is close to everything. We could walk the town for lunch and comfortably walk back. The beach is within walking distance too. I have mixed feelings about the kid friendliness of the place. I might explode other options with the kids. But, if I was just with my husband I'd come here again. Just food for thought for those exploring some options. read more

We stayed here several years ago and chose to return to spend our Christmas in Carmel-By-The-Sea and stay at Lobos Lodge this year. It was a delightful visit. Quiet, comfortable, with a well designed room layout. The fireplace adds to the feeling of home. The continental breakfast is delivered to your room. It is very tasty. I highly recommend this lodge and hope to return again! The location is ideal and the price is certainly fair. read more

Stayed here for 3 nights... Second day, room was cleaned and our back sliding door, was left WIDE OPEN.... I am a police officer and know the danger this presents... called the front desk and told them what happened while also asking them to kindly not enter our room again.... Leave for a few hours the same day.... come back to our bed being made, differently than before, with new chocolates on the pillows... Ummm what??? No trash taken out, toilet paper empty... WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING IN THERE AGAIN??? At this point we think housekeeping is just being malicious... Hotel was cute, other than the incidents described above... Breakfast each morning delivered to your door, coffee in the lobby, umbrellas to borrow... Closest hotel to the beach on Ocean Avenue (main shopping strip) Close to Monterey and Big Sur... Would stay again, making sure to use the do not disturb sign. read more

What a great place to stay. The staff is truly wonderful and really go out of their way to help. The location is both close to the beach and the central dinning and shopping area in Carmel. We will definitely stay here in the future. read more

Pros: - Spacious Rooms: Our room was huge! A living room with a table and two chairs, sofa, and arm chair. Tons of counterspace in the bathroom, extra blankets & pillows in the closet. The beds were around a corner, almost like a separate bedroom. Plus, we had a cute little balcony. - Location: exactly between downtown and the beach. The absolute ideal location!!! - Snacks: They bring you a mini breakfast (pastry & yogurt) each morning, and there's a basket of apples in each room. Cons: - Noise: Surprisingly, the noise doesn't come from the street. The floors creak, so it sounded like a herd of elephants occupied the room above us. The walls are paper thin, so when my neighbors spoke at a normal volume, I heard it as if we were in the same room. Bit of a problem when they started up at 6 am. - Amenities: No iron or ironing board, though we did have a nice fridge. Biggest issue here? Internet. I had no cell service in my room (not the hotel's fault of course) so internet was a big deal. Could not connect once during my stay. Overnight that would have been fine, but for a multi-day stay, that was incredibly frustrating. We spoke to the front desk about it, and got the impression they have had this issue for a long time. Don't advertise free wifi if it doesn't work. - Parking: The hotel has its own parking lot, which I thought would be awesome. But when the hotel was at capacity one night, the front desk said we shouldn't move our car because we would "lose our spot". If there aren't enough spaces for the rooms, don't guarantee a parking space per room. That was a disappointment. Overall, there are a lot of pros to Lobos Lodge. But frankly, the noise, parking, and internet were problematic enough for me that I won't be back again. read more

This was my first time staying at Lobos Lodge and it will now be the place I always stay in Carmel. I've stayed at many places in Carmel and this is by far the cleanest and the most spacious. The rooms are very big and airy. I love the simplicity. My room had hardwood floors (pergo), and a lovely small living room. There is a bathroom and tub then a separate changing room which I loved. And a beautiful fireplace ! The best part is that it's close to the beach and all the shops. I didn't need to drive anywhere. I also loved the adobe style architecture. I have two complaints...1. I could hear the people upstairs and next to me but I put on the box fan and it drowned it all out. Next time I will request an upstairs room. 2. The air circulation on the bottom floor was not good and I had to keep the fan on the entire time just to flow the air. I'm still giving this 5 stars because the place was really amazing. And I've stayed at many of the places in Carmel - this is by far the best. read more

My husband and I stayed here during the week at the end of March; in low season. The place is cute but left a bad impression. We were over charged at check out and told by the front desk clerk he could not "change the amount". Only the manager could but she was not in when we checked out. We had to catch a flight so we had to leave and check out that morning and could not wait for the manager. We called and emailed to speak with her and fix our bill to no avail. The manager, Nancy, never returned our calls or emails. We were charged a whole extra night! We had a "3rd night free" special which the hotel forgot to reflect on our bill. I would not recommend staying here due to lack of response and deliberate over charging. Very disappointed. We've stayed many places and have NEVER had such an experience. **update. Management's unresponsiveness paid off when we fought the extra charge with our CC. Since management did not respond to our CCs inquiries, the charge was removed by the CC company. read more

Note: The review that previously occupied this space was one I actually wrote about a different Carmel hotel, whose name I'm still trying to ascertain. I've replaced that review with this one, but the two-star rating is the same, so no harm, no foul, right? Lobos Lodge is where my parents stay when they visit Carmel these days. Apparently, things have deteriorated enough at the nearby Monte Verde Inn that they're all right making this second choice their permanent first choice. Why second choice? Well, Lobos Lodge used to have a policy against guests younger than sixteen. I'm pretty sure such a policy is now illegal in California, as is any restriction on the age of renters, but discrimination is trenchant, and it dies hard even though tough laws exist to kill it. When we would stay here, I would not come into the lobby (because I wasn't sixteen yet), and I would have to sneak from the car to the room and vice versa. Kind of fun in a kids-think-spies-are-cool way, but kind of sad, actually. One very vivid memory I have of this place is watching the news about the US invasion of Panama. Although I was still a very politically conservative twelve-year-old (who knew?), I was very disturbed by the graphic images of the destruction caused by those weapons that I loved to read about in books. This uneasiness with cold, mechanized violence, along with an amazing history teacher in high school and some serious soul-searching in college, would eventually turn me into a pacifist--a pacifist of the realist variety, of course, but a pacifist nonetheless. So I guess I'm thankful that I remember the time and the place of my early politicization, but I'm still annoyed that I wasn't technically allowed to be here and that I was nervous that the newlyweds or whoever in the next room would rat me out. read more

Ok, on the good side,the place is wonderfully located in town, the grounds are beautiful and even the interiors are well-done. I didn't agree with people that they felt 'dated'. They're charming and for the $135 we paid for a Saturday night stay (!) I'm sure they're wasn't a finer room on the Central Coast. Spotlessly clean, and huge, even a warm (fake) fireplace for the cool, rainy night. But just so you know, the walls are paper-thin. HOW paper-thin? Well, so thin that you may know exactly what show your neighbor is watching, not just a dull roar but actually HEAR the lines. Or hear them spit when they brush their teeth. Or...well you know, anything else. Just as thin as the Econo-lodge I had stayed at in Monterey for $50 one night. So...If you stay out late and then bring earplugs for sleep, you'll be fine. Or bring an iPod. Or play a movie or the TV at night until everyone else shuts their own off. Otherwise, I'd pay a bit more and go with a free-standing cabin or a place that has even a modicum of insulation. Everything else about the place is so great tho. Oh except the beds, I forgot. Very uncomfortable...sort of hard and bouncy all at once. Tho my GF was ok with them (but not thrilled either), I slept on the couch. It was more comfortable. But hey If you're on a strict budget and want a place created with a lot of obvious love and caring, it might be totally worth wearing earplugs the whole time! read more

This hotel was really cute and B&B-ish. The concierge was really helpful, gave us recommendations for restaurants and offered to personally open our bottle of wine at the front desk (since we didn't have an opener) and he even gave us two wine glasses (he said wine tastes better when it's drank out of the proper glass which you really can't argue with). The room was really nice, two beds like we requested with a tv, fridge, table, couch, big bathroom, & a porch with an ocean view. The only "complaint" I have is that there is apparently a $10 fee upon arriving for your potential phone use that gets refunded after you leave (or something to that extent). This fee would not have been a problem if someone had told my dad and I (mostly my dad who was paying) that this fee existed. He saw a charge on his Mastercard - got an email - and we had to ask the concierge what it was for. Might be nice to tell the customers ahead of time. Not a huge deal by any means but just a suggestion. read more

I was a bit concerned about staying here, after reading some of the reviews, but once again I learned that everyone's experience is different. We had a wonderful time here. It was sort of like renting a large apartment for the weekend. Our room, was on the second floor and had a king sized bed, living area, cathedral ceiling, small balcony and a bathroom with changing area. I loved that the floors weren't carpeted and the bed was comfy. Yeah, you can hear a little noise through the walls. (It's no big deal at all. I think the people who complain about the noise just had seriously rude people staying next to them.) The breakfast they deliver to your room is tiny and you're not on the beach with beach front views (none of the hotels on Ocean Ave are). However, the rooms are huge and clean. The staff is very helpful and the location and price are fantastic. We never needed to drive. read more

This place is OK. It's centrally located in Carmel, close to all the cute shops and restaurants, and the rooms are pretty big and nice. I think most of them have fireplaces too. The reception is nice enough, although when we got there, we asked about a particular restaurant we wanted to go to, and she was nice enough to give us the number, but not nice enough to make the reservation for us. So I was a little miffed about that. The other reason I'm not happy with Lobos Lodge is because they are charging the same rate as those being charged by some of the smaller, less nice B&Bs in the area. However, their breakfast was piddly - two blueberry muffins, plus juice and cofee/tea. For the same price, I could have gone to a B&B down the street with a fabulous breakfast in the morning. One nice thing though - they have free WiFi. read more

We will definitely stay here again, but we will reserve an upstairs room- simply because we will have a better chance at hearing the waves over the cars, and there will be no sounds of footsteps above us. I agree with other reviews to skip the breakfast and find a nice place on the main drag. My husband and I ate at Carmel Belle both mornings. The lodge is in a really convenient area- easy to walk just about anywhere in Carmel. read more

I had this hotel on my short list of places to consider after reading lots of reviews on Yelp. We rolled into town on a Wednesday afternoon with no reservations so I walked in and got a couple room quotes from the front desk. After calling around a few other places this was definitely the best deal for a place right in the center of downtown Carmel and with ocean views. No, it's not right on the ocean but nothing is in downtown Carmel. We paid $155 for a huge room with a king bed and continental breakfast. The room had vaulted ceilings probably about 20 feet high which made it feel even bigger. There were only two of us and we weren't in the room much so we didn't need something so big but it certainly was nice to have. The bed wasn't as plush as you get at a big chain but wasn't uncomfortable either. The room itself is a bit outdated but very clean and free wifi was included. Plus, there is a small fridge in each room in case you want to keep some wine to enjoy on the balcony. They serve continental breakfast and deliver straight to your room which we loved. Seems this is the norm in Carmel though. While the breakfast was appreciated, it was a bit dinky with just a very small cup of fruit, a muffin and some juice. You can probably get a better breakfast elsewhere but I bet you'll probably pay for it too. We would definitely stay here again. read more

Stayed here instead of the usual Normandy Inn experience. While I've always had a soft spot for my Normandy, the paper thin walls finally scared me off. Lobos is directly across the street from the Normandy and the rooms are comparable in price. Rooms were bigger and I couldn't hear a thing with the windows closed. There was a strike going on down the street at The Pine Inn and the only reason I heard it was when I opened up the sliding glass door. Nice people working at the front desk and all-in-all a better choice than the Normandy. read more

Lobos Lodge is my hands down favorite hotel in Carmel! I've been staying here for years...Not only is it beautifully maintained, clean, and peaceful, but it is an amazing deal as well. The Manager Sharon is great; helpful, knowledgeable, sweet, and very personable! After reading some other reviews, I thought it was funny that people complained of it being old. It's Carmel- downtown Carmel- the town IS old. The remodeled rooms are very nice and gorgeous for the area. If you want a perfectly located cute room in Carmel, Lobos Lodge is simply the best- walking distance to everything, clean and spacious rooms, and great staff. I'd give 10 stars if I could! read more

Stayed with my parents in a large 2nd floor room with 2 beds, coach, dining table, large washroom for $200. The room has 4 chairs and the coach can be used as separate area. I slept on the coach. Large TV w 50+ Comcast channels, local newspaper, small gas fireplace, electric heater. Rooms are clean and relatively modern style; nothing is falling off; no bad smells or rot. Good sound isolation. Very helpful and polite staff including front desk, maids and the handyman service. Sharon, the manager and Mark at front desk are very good. My toilet clogging problem was resolved in 5 min (it was my fault I made a ball of toilet paper). Breakfast delivered: orange juice, muffins/pastry, fruit salad. Internet: strong signal, speed is OK, but not very fast - 30-50 kBs download; can watch youtube videos no problem. Summary: definitely coming back because of the room size; next year I may try one of their suites on the 3rd floor. read more

This place is gorgeous, with elegant & tidy rooms. There was an issue with my hot water but the inn keeper was very sweet & had the maintenance man address it immediately. I loved my stay & look forward to returning soon. read more

Visiting from SF... this is the place to stay. I paid $130 for a huge room with fire place, king bed, patio and desk/work area... at only 3 days before booking. It's right on the main street of Carmel and within walking distance to many fine restaurants (DO NOT EAT AT JACK LONDON'S) and the beach... and it's quiet The staff here is really nice and the parking is very safe with the lot right on their property. 1 star for the staff 1 star for the location 1 star for the room quality (huge huge room) 1 star from the price (and if I could give a .5 star for the turn down service and the "to your door" breakfast I would) One of the best places to stay in Carmel for the $$ read more

Lobos Lodge - Breakfast in bed! - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, California

Found this place on Yelp. Booked it based on the reviews and the price was pretty reasonable compared to other places in the area and we were very pleased with our stay! The room was spacious, with a fireplace and a small living area space, spacious bathroom, very comfortable king bed AND pillows. For some random reason I always feel like hotel pillows kind of suck, but the pillows we had here were great! They deliver a simple breakfast to your room in the morning, juice, yogurt, and pastries, and it was a perfect snack to have in the morning before we headed out to do whatever we had planned. The room has a coffee maker and fridge, but no microwave. However, in the lobby there is a microwave for guests to use and also coffee/cookies so this was perfect!! The only thing I would maybe complain about is that the wifi sometimes was very weak. Considering there was no service so we were relying on using wifi to use our phones, sometimes it was a pain trying to connect. Otherwise, we had a great stay here! read more

We stayed here in August for a quick getaway. Hotel was adorable and very clean. Loved the muffins and juice in the morning! We will definitely be back! read more

They did a good remodel on this complex. Everything is clean and updated in attractive materials. Initially we stayed in room 32, which I would not care to stay in again. It's very stuffy and dark, with the only way to get air into the room being a lower window in a Dutch door that pushes out and a very small window that faces out into the parking lot. We were told this was the last queen bed room that was available, which is a lesser price. But I wonder. When we later asked to stay one more night, we took a king bed room on an upper floor, and it was a much superior room with a sliding glass door that gave a lot of ventilation to the room. We had to use a box fan for ventilation in room 32. Remember, avoid this room! Lower rooms also suffer from overhead noise. Overall, the rooms were clean and pleasant, the lodge has an excellent location in the very heart of Carmel. Everything in easy walking distance. The breakfast is a bran muffin with some fruit and juice -- if you're a big breakfast eater, don't expect much and go out instead. I think for the price it's a good choice, and I'd stay here again as long as I got a king size room. I think they're worth the extra money. We had a room that picks up some traffic noise from Ocean Avenue, a busy street in Carmel, but the noise starts dying down around quarter to 10:00 in the evening, so it's not a big problem for us. read more

this place was great. had a 3 nights for price of two on Sunday through Wed had Room 10, lower level, quiet and on a side street so less road noise. slept well, nice gas fireplace and good size room. Would DEFINITELY come back. one comment to the management, given how many wineries there are in Carmel and the area, would think they would offer wine glasses (and openers) in the rooms, without having to ask for them. read more

This place is truly one of the best lodges in Carmel. Here is why: First off, we were checked into another hotel which we have stayed in before and adored. However I booked late and we ended up with a room that made me sad. We walked to a couple of other inns and found Lobos Lodge. The staff were extremely nice AND they had a room left for us!!!! I must add we were so happy with our room (and so sad about our first night's stay at another inn in Carmel) that we called the day before we were to check out to ask if we could extend our stay one more night. They were very accommodating and we were able to stay in our same room and not have to move!! The room was VERY much to our liking. You won't find a hotel closer to the beach (at least none that I know of). The rooms are very clean, the cleaning staff do a wonderful job, they bring a continental breakfast to your room, they have a turn down service. We had a fireplace in our room. A nice full bath (nice size for soaking after walking about 10 miles up and down hills and all along the beatch.) All in all these guys saved our anniversary trip from being pretty sad at the end of the day in the teeny tiny room I had booked and this turned into the PERFECT place for us! Thank you thank you THANK YOU to the entire staff. You are on our list. My only wish is that i could bring my canine family member but alas, I understand. THANK YOU!!!!! read more

Nice size room, comfortable bed and couch, lots of seating and tables, nice bathroom with sink separated from toilet and shower. Clean! Nice sized patio. Friendly staff and great rates! Only 3 blocks from the beach, much nicer than having to find parking down there. Breakfast served every morning. Each breakfast comes with juice, yogurt, and a large pastry. One pastry was a large soft blueberry scone. The next morning was a large strawberry filled croissant. Chocolates on our pillows every evening. Parking here is horrible. Small spaces and on a steep slope. Recommend parking out on the main street. Also recommend staying on a top floor. We stayed on the bottom floor and could hear creaking when people walked around upstairs. Also kept the TV on most of the time since the walls are nowhere near soundproof. Would definitely stay here again. read more
