Upon arrival, all was quite nice as would be expected given the price of the room($400+). It was an unusually warm night for Carmel and the hotel has no A/C. All windows were open and temperatures were above 90F in our room. We got in late so the available fans had already been distributed. We finally received a small fan... more

My partner and I stayed at L'Auberge over Memorial Day weekend (we were in Carmel for a wedding.) I was hesitant because of comments about rudeness in previous reviews, but this was not our experience at all. The staff was cordial and helpful, the room was elegant with beautiful details (we had the smallest queen room, but didn't feel cramped),... more

We stayed here one night and only did so because we walked in and negotiated a better rate (around 300 bucks). with breakfast and the mandatory service fees. There was heavy noise in the bricked garden court in the evening as people tend to congregate there. Breakfast was average. The rehab of the building was done very well though. The... more

We had the pleasure of staying at this charmer for 2 nights in March of 2008. Just walking into reception, we were warmly greated and offered their fabulous blood orange seltzer water. We were shown to our beautiful room overlooking the charming courtyard. It was well appointed with a comfortable king sized bed and a large and luxurious bathroom. The... more

My wife and I decided to spend part of our 10 year wedding anniversary at L'Auberge Carmel...big mistake. We were sold on a so called romance package that the staff utterly failed to deliver on. We were promised a bottle of champagne and assorted chocolates at check in….which the staff forgot. The following day, the masseuses for our couples’ massage,... more

I'm surprised @ the rating of this hotel. Some good things for sure, VERY cozy bed, cleanliness in room, the nuts and pistachios, the charm....but we definitely have mixed feelings and would not stay there again. We went to relax, there was no air conditioning, so you had to open the windows to get any cool air in the room... more

The property is really nice and the rooms are recently updated with nice ammenities. At $400/night we expected more though. The staff was dismissive and often rude. For example. We asked that a roll away bed be removed the second night of the stay and after repeated reminders it was never done. Also the drapes in the room were broken... more

My husband took me here for my birthday and what a wonderful and romatic small hotel this is. Sophisticated, cozy, comfortable, and definitely so romantic! Staff is very attentive and great at recommending cool places to hang out in town. We were only able to stay one night but wished we could stay another!! Big bed, smooth sheets, heated bathroom... more

My husband and I loved our stay here. The reception area and courtyard are inviting and full of charm. Our room was upgraded upon arrival and was very spacious and clean. The bathroom was also spacious and appeared to have been redone in the past 2 years. The location of the inn is absolutely perfect to explore the shops of... more
