Northwest Carmel Vacation Packages

Need better coffee, more water, warmer A/C in winter to spread heat.

Staff was excellent. Rooms were comfortable, quiet and clean. Very relaxing atmosphere. Loved the breakfast basket at your door the next morning..

We stayed at the original motel on this site, the Carmel Sands Lodge beginning in the 1990s. We paid $125/night. The hotel is vastly superior now to what it was then, but it has probably increased in price more than the improvement in the property itself. Nonetheless, we will continue to stay there given the level of comfort we experience. We are disappointed that if we try to add a night to our stay after the original reservation is made, that the nights we have already reserved are re-priced. We have to carefully manage when we go to avoid the rather outrageous prices for what is really still a motel. We were also frustrated with the timeliness of cleaning our room. We received a knock on the door at 9:05, and since we said we were not ready at that moment, the room still was not cleaned at 2:30 and we waited for an hour and a half after that for it to be ready, but that was only after two conversations with management.
