I have stayed here before and it was wonderful; the room was very comfortable and clean and new. It was on the 2nd or 3rd floor. This time i asked for a room on the 1st floor to be close to the pool. I was assigned 105 which was no where near the pool; it was musty and off to the corner of the property and I didn’t feel
Comfortable staying there alone with my child. I asked to be reassigned and got 134 it was decent but not near as nice as the 2nd floor room i had stayed in before and it was closer to the pool. I am not sure why the front desk person did t give me this room
To begin with as i had asked for a room near the pool.

The location is great as it's 1 minute walk to the beach.and 5 minutes walk to shops and restaurants around Ocean Avenue. The upper level of the property has partial view of the ocean. Some of the staff (younger staff) were very courteous, hospitable and friendly. Buffet breakfast was delightful and you get to enjoy partial view of the ocean, enhancing the dining experience. The happy hour, complimentary wine adds a nice touch. The property is kept clean with well maintained courtyard, garden and pool. Very relaxing to sit out in the courtyard. We'll come back again.

Carmel is a wonderful place to visit, we were lucky that the weather was so GOOD. The town has many great shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a wonderful pace to celebrate a special occasion and there is Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive!!

Carmel is a cute, charming seaside town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Mostly all parking is on-street parallel parking. The Adobe Inn, where we stayed, is located within a block of all the restaurants and shops and even has its own parking garage located below the Inn. At night the town pretty much clears out after 9 or 10, but walking back to the Inn felt safe. The town is also a great base if you are planning on visiting Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, or Big Sur.

The morning and afternoon is the best time to spend it in Carmel. During night time it’s not lit up as you think it would be. But during the day it’s absolutely amazing. All the shops, cafes, restaurants. The walking. Everything is near by. The beach to the town is like 10 min walk. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 days

Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel. A lot of good restaurants to eat, not cheap, but a long list of great places. Friendly people. Great beach and other beaches near by. You can visit Monterey, close by.

The little cottage like room was cute and clean, so nice to be able to take our little dog with us, nice to have our own parking space, our door didn’t lock and a staff member fixed it right away, hoping to stay in another little cabin soon, this is our second time, our first cabin had a living room, and spacious. Had breakfast at the tuck box, the tea and scones delicious along with fluffy omelette so Yummy can’t wait to come back
First thing if you do get a room in the block of rooms they have such the best view of Carmel River and all the animal life that goes up and down woke up to a blue heron probably 150 ft from my window fishing line on the river I don't know if you ever seen the movie vacation with Chevy Chase will in the beginning of the movie they show they traveled through Big Sur so I could truly say if the griswalts were going through they would have stayed at the River Inn:-)
Location was perfect. It was a nice hotel. An older property but nice. The rooms are dated.the breakfast in our room, however, was perfection! I had avacado toast on our first morning- best ever! It was served with a pastry that I don’t even know how to describe. So good! The chia pudding the next day was again amazing! The hotel itself is not what I would call luxury but the food definitely is.
Location was fantastic. Had breakfast each morning at the bakery across the street. Easy walk to everything. Housekeeper was quick and efficient. Room layout was a bit unusual as you had to go through the bathroom to get to the bedroom. The motel itself is older with rooms open to the outside; however, we never felt that was a security issue in Carmel by the Sea.
Quality hotel. Friendly staff. Complimentary afternoon cheese and wine on the house. Popcorn in the microwave and breakfast. Quality linen and lovely room in the heart of carmel by the sea. Took electric bikes from mad dogs and englishmen just one block away, which was well worth the day out cycling the 17 mile drive away the coast into monterey.
Excellent location, with the town of Carmel less than a 10-minute walk and the beach just a little over 20 minutes on foot. The outdoor communal area at the hotel was a nice touch and we enjoyed relaxing there in the evening after wandering around the town, with comfortable seating, and fires to keep us warm when the temperature dropped off.
Rooms were clean . Location was perfect .., It has its own area for shopping and eating , so if you don’t want to drive to carmel by the sea
You could step outside your door and have plenty of other options to choose from for shopping , eating or just a coffee run.. I would highly recommend this hotel for the location and pricing .
Had a great stay here with my wife for two nights. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the location was fantastic. We were able to use this as a good home base from which to explore Carmel by foot. We even went to Carmel Valley, which was easy to get to via bus from a bus stop right around the corner from the hotel.
The location is splendid - right at the start of the main street in Carmel. It is a 15 min walk to the beach, going through wonderful cafes, shops, and galleries on the way. There are also weekly events, such as a free wine tasting we happened to arrive just in time for.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Nicely decorated and quiet room with all the amenities. In-room breakfast service was excellent. Fairly easy walk to downtown Carmel and beach area but there is a free hotel limousine service available when needed.
Great view, very nice fireplace, excellent location, friendly and extremely helpful staff! Best small hotel I’ve stayed at in Carmel and I’ve been coming at least annually for very many years! I highly recommend this establishment!!!
It was a great stop for us as we were otw from Napa Valley heading towards Malibu. We had a good rest and we enjoyed Carmel town and it's beautiful eateries and stores. Everything we needed was nearby eg gas station and eateries
It was very comfortable!!! Great room / fireplace / parking/ hot tub/ quite. Breakfast was delicious. We have stayed in several other hotels in Carmel . Some much pricer. This was the best. You will see us again.
Great quiet location but very easy to walk into Carmel (15 min). Beautiful and comfy room. Exceptional bed. The staff in this hotel were really nice. Hotel was nice and very clean.
In the center of Carmel, close to everything, Free parking, the rooms are spacious and , overall it is very good value for money. I would come again to this hotel.
Breakfast was great.
Hotel is close (walkable) to Carmel beach, adjacent to Il Fornaio restaurant and across the street from other fine dining and shops.
