I paid for a queen bedroom $410 but they gave me a double. I even measured it, and the manager is gaslighting me. Never come here. Very unprofessional and rude

Carmel Resort Inn is a great spot nestled in Carmel! The room itself felt a little cramped, and pretty outdated, but I understand the history of this place and trying to conserve resources. I do feel a little minor TLC could really make this place pop. But we did arrive after hours and they have a phone number to call that the staff picked up immediately so the staff was great! You’ll be in a short driving distance to the city as the hills are quite strenuous, but it’s maybe. 3-4 minute drive. Super easy.

Super clean, and very quiet little spot. They look like cabins. Very cozy with wifi, and TV. I WOULD highly reccomend. Not high end but comfortable.
