Great place to stay!

This is a great value for the area. The staff was very nice and helpful, and we loved the happy hour. I didn't necessarily realize that our room would be across the street, but it wasn't too far, and everything else was very comfy!

The place is clean and cozy. We stayed at one of the cottages across the street, which had a jacuzzi. Breakfast was delivered every morning. The staff is very friendly and helpful. All the attractions of Carmel-by-the-sea are within a walk distance (albeit a bit hilly). Don't expect much "ocean views" from any window.

This property was in a great location, walkable to many shops and restaurants. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the property was very clean. Our only disappointment was that the bed was not comfortable and the small square, flat pillows need to be replaced with regular size pillows. Very uncomfortable.

Great location and staff. The continental breakfast in the picnic basket was a cute touch in the mornings. Rooms need to be updated as they are a little dated / musty.

Best Value in Carmel!

Where to even begin! This was my sister and I's first ever trip to California and we chose this lodge because it's one of the less expensive accommodations in the area. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made! Everything from the breakfast basket delivered to my door every morning with croissants, fresh fruit, and fruit juice, to the cozy and cute bathrobes, and happy hour wine and cheese made me feel very at home and cared for. My sister and I shared a King Fireplace room which was plenty big enough, charming, and most importantly VERY clean. There's no AC but there is a fan and windows that open which we found sufficient. Our room had a small kitchen nook with a nice mini fridge that was actually cold enough to store even frozen food. We also got plenty of use out of the Keurig. There's a beautiful balcony with an ocean view that's open for all guests to enjoy, plenty of parking (a must in Carmel), and a beautiful courtyard with a hot tub, which my sister and I got plenty of use out of. Lastly, the location! The lodge is just far enough away from downtown to feel peaceful on the weekends but still close enough to walk to restaurants, cafes, and shopping. Just be prepared to walk uphill and downhill on cobbly streets, as Carmel is very hilly and the sidewalks are mostly uneven stone. I would recommend this stay to anyone thinking of visiting Cali. Thank you so much Horizon Inn for making me feel like a princess!
From the hot tub at 3PM on Saturday.
