In the heart of it all, Carmel Lodge is a pleasant complement to the European charm of Carmel-by-the-Sea and unique among Carmel hotels. Situated among towering Monterey pines on 5th Avenue at San Carlos and Mission Streets, the 42-room Carmel Lodge is only two blocks from famed Ocean Avenue and a relaxing stroll to Carmel Beach. Unlike a traditional hotel experience, lodge guest rooms exude peace and comfort while the location ideally affords access to all that's desirable for meeting attendees or family members; for those in town for business or pleasure.

The employees were RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL, they did not admit or assume a mistake they had made on our reservation, and the place was a slump that had probably not been upgraded since the early '80s. First, we were assigned a room with 1 bed when we had requested a room with 2 double beds in our reservation. They charged us an additional $88 on an already steep $200+ rate to give us access to the larger room. The 'upgraded' room was so run-down that we could not imagine spending the night in it. We had to look for another place. When we asked for refund due to their mistakes and the poor condition of the room, not only did they keep the full amount of the initial reservation but they refused to refund the $88 they had charged to us minutes before. The experience with this place and its employees deserves a special mention on that category of hotel accommodations to avoid at all costs.
Instead go to the Monte Verde Inn where we finally spent a fantastic night, and where the staff went out of their way to treat us very well and make it a memorable stay.
Carmel is a wonderful town that should not tolerate dumps like the Carmel Lodge. All the opposite can be said of the Monte Verde Inn!
average motel, continental breakfast consists of fruit. no big hoo-ha in regards to the pool. however, it is walking distance of practically everything.. no real view, cable tv, good if you just need a place to rest at night.
Our favorite place in Carmel!

Good
We have stayed at the Carmel Sands many times during the past 10 years. The location is perfect, walkable to anything in Carmel but on a quiet street. There are 2 buildings and the newer "back building" is the nicer of the two with more...
I stay in Carmel 4-6 times a year and this is my place. The staff is fantastic and the location cannot be beat. The price is the best in the town. You cannor find a better deal around, trust me.

We have been staying here for three years and always get the same room (130), which is darling; it's huge and has a beautiful real fireplace to snuggle by. The staff is always friendly and they always make sure we get our room! It's close...
Not a fancy hotel, but clean, well run and in a very convenient location. Rooms are spacious, but with old decor. Pleasant and helpful front desk staff. Good value for the low room rate.
