Reminds us of Europe--very, very charming.
Not too big and not too small, with all the right details in place.... the beds and linens were perfectly comfortable. The office staff was genuinely helpful.

Tired motel, but convenient location
It all started with no hairdryer in the room. OK that’s happened before, so I pick up the phone to call the front desk. Phone doesn’t work. So I get dressed and walk to the office. Receptionist acts surprised (every roomshould have a hairdryer!) and hands me one. I go back to the room and plug it in - or try to. English plug. So I get dressed and walk to the office. Hahaha - we joked. English plug. Now she’s not sure she has another spare dryer but hunts around. Ah, there’s one in the cupboard, but she’s not sure it works. She hands it to me and says to go back to my room and try it. So I ask her why she doesn’t try it right here. Hahaha - we joked. Surprise - it doesn’t work. And she throws her hands up as if to say - well nothing I can do now!! Meanwhile the phone rings and another guest (the lucky one with a phone that works) is enquiring, (I gather, as I listen to the conversation) about a hairdryer. She tells the guest to call back in about 10 minutes - she might have one then. Then I ask her if there are any vacant rooms. She goes to look. There are. So off we go to find a hair dryer that works. We do. I go back to my room and try it and it works for 10 seconds. That pretty much typified the state of the Carmel Lodge. It’s OK...but...you need to pack your patience...oh, and a hairdryer.

Loved our stay in August
Excellent location. Walking distance to ALL shops and restaurants. Short driving to Pebble Beach golf and Spyglass golf. We had the Cottage Suite, whose 2 bedrooms were perfect for our family. Also, very quiet in the Cottage at night. Comfortable King bed for us with our own TV, and 2 comfortable Twins for sons who used TV in the Living Room. We used the FREE wireless internet, but sometimes wireless would drop off unexpectedly. We made use of the small refrigerator and the microwave. Front Desk service person was very friendly. Continental breakfast in the Lobby was adequate -- coffee, bagels, and fruit.
Traveler's tip on dining
We celebrated birthday at Dametra’s on Ocean Ave (5-10 minute walk from Carmel Lodge), where we had great food, entertainment, and service. They sang Happy Birthday in Greek, Italian, and English, along with a complimentary dessert with lighted candle. Reservations are highly recommended, since place is small and this place is VERY popular.
