Top Carmel Valley Hotel Reviews

Hidden Valley Inn

Hidden Valley Inn

8/10 Good
"Easy parking, nice spacious rooms, really comfortable beds, quiet! The pool area is nice and would be truly amazing if there were a spa/hot tub. The hotel has tea, coffee, water available throughout the day, with doughnuts in the AM but not until 8:30, which may be a little late for some travelers. The property is well-maintained and nicely located, with beautiful views of the mountains."
