there were multiple hairs on the floor of the bathroom when we checked in. there was also low water pressure and the room was cold. we never did figure out the thermostat. the place was old and run down and in severe need of an upgrade— definitely not worth the price!

No airflow in room, weird room location with no ability to open windows and no air conditioning. There was a little fan we were able to use but, not great. No hot water for shower or bath in the evenings. Bed is like sleeping on concrete

Great location and large rooms

This hotel offers pet friendly very large rooms with a small fridge and sink counter. We had a gas fireplace in our room as well but didn’t use it. It was ideal for our 3 night stay with our dog! Its location is prime, it offers parking, the front desk was helpful and friendly. Yes, it’s dated and could use a refresh but it’s also a great value compared to the other spots we researched. We will stay again, perfect for us and our dog!

Our stay at the Adobe Inn in Carmel-by-the-Sea was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming. Check-in with Jean was quick and friendly — she made us feel right at home. One charming touch is that the Adobe Inn still uses traditional keys instead of electronic cards. It adds to the cozy, classic feel of the place and makes it stand out from modern chain hotels. The inn’s location is unbeatable — just steps from downtown Carmel’s beautiful streets, unique boutiques, art galleries, and amazing restaurants. Exploring the area couldn’t have been easier or more enjoyable. Our room was a true highlight. It was incredibly spacious, featuring a comfortable living room, a huge bedroom with two queen-size beds, and two full bathrooms — perfect for families or friends traveling together. We also loved having two private balconies where we could unwind and soak in the fresh coastal breeze. While the Adobe Inn isn’t a five-star luxury hotel, we also didn’t pay $1,000 a night for it — and that’s exactly why it’s such a fantastic find. It offers incredible value, comfort, and plenty of space in a prime location. It’s clean, quiet, and full of that special Carmel charm. We’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a spacious, comfortable stay right in the heart of beautiful Carmel!

I really appreciate how caring and welcoming the front desk people are but the shower pressure is not the greatest and the shower head kept leaking water out, causing puddles outside the shower tub. We also kept hearing random tapping nose during the night. We also couldn’t change the temperature of the room so that wasn’t great. But besides that, they are not bad.

Property is outdated. Sliding door is so weathered you can barely see through it. Screens on the door were torn. There was very little water pressure in the shower. The television had limited channels available and none were local. The room was clean but in desperate need of updates.

Upon arriving, the desk clerk was asleep in the connecting room and could not be woken up. The owner had to be called. The room itself was surface clean but smelled of mold. In the morning we saw that the patio was carpeted and soaking wet. Green moss grew over about 50 percent of it. We left without checking out and found another hotel. Both we and our dogs became ill. Based on the other reviews of this place, maybe this is the only room like this. I can't remember the room number but it may as well have been 237.
