Clarion Collection Carmel By The Sea

The location is terrific. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast basket was a bonus, despite if being only cereal, a store bought pastry, a banana, and a granola bar. We were very satisfied and thought it a very good value.

I have traveled many times to Carmel and wanted a romantic getaway. The hotel was excellent. The location was so close to everything in town and only a short picturesque walk to the beach. The staff were friendly and the rooms were decorated very romantically. The breakfast basket in the morning was very sweet and the overall hotel setting was perfect for our romantic getaway.

Great place, good price, we'll return for sure.

Good value.

Perhaps if we were not surrounded by neighbors on both sides it may have been more enjoyable. The staff was great that we encountered. I wanted an iron and staff brought it right away with an ironing board. The room was quite clean and the bathroom was recently upgraded it appeared. The hotel is in walking distance of everything we needed.

After viewing several hotel rooms for the evening in question, there is no doubt that this hotel was what we were looking for. Very clean and updated, attractively furnished and decorated, and conveniently located. Unlike many hotels in this area, no pets are allowed at this hotel, so the carpets and flooring are clean and stain free! Will definitely return.

Overall we were pleased with the room. The decor was very old-fashioned and old lady like but clean and suitable for a one night stay. I probably wouldn't stay longer than this. There was a slightly unpleasant odor in the room that was noticeable upon entering but that became unnoticeable pretty fast. An okay place, no real complaints.

Too small room for longer stays, but for a one night, that was okay. The bathroom was only partially completed, plaster patches on the wall were not painted. If they are renovating, they might want to rent out a completed room. The decor had a very weird mixture of craftsman lighting, early 60's wood pieces, some chintz. They should consult a decorator! The location was the best. The breakfast was cornflakes and plastic pastry. How hard would it have been to served granola, yogurt, muffins and maybe a banana? The basket idea was cute, but the contents were returned to the office and we walked down the street to a great breakfast place. We appreciated the WiFi and the bed was fairly comfortable. The light switches put off so much light in the small room that we had to cover it up when it was time for sleep. I have never seen such light switch plates in a hotel. read more
