We’ve stayed here several times in the past few months as we are renovating a house. It’s always clean, the bed is comfortable, and the bathroom has been updated and is a decent size. We appreciate the breakfast on busy mornings. The location is excellent. I know parking can be an issue for some people, but it’s never been an issue for us. If the lot is full, there’s plenty of parking on the street.

The front desk staff was phenomenal- very welcoming and they helped me make my trip changes in a way that truly worked for me. They definitely put the customer experience first. Great job to the team - including those who helped out in the Dining area (Daniela!). Grateful for my time there. Thank you for a restorative stay!

Wife and I go to Carmel yearly and the Normandy Inn is right on Ocean Street. Easy walk to shops and restaurants in the area and close walk to the ocean. Clean room and nice staff. Great way to spend time there.

I very much like the location of this hotel. Right on the main drag, close to everything. Parking is sufficient, though not on site. The room and property were very clean/tidy, and in the vein of a traditional Carmel offering. The proximity to the beach is as good as it gets. The amenities in the room are a sticking point. It does have, to its credit, a coffee maker and fridge, as well as a TV with many channels. The pillows were perfect. Downsides are few but worth mentioning. There are few outlets, and fewer in logical locations. The mattress was due for replacement. And the shower cannot be turned on without getting sprayed with cold water first. Overall, all livable. I’ve stayed in much worse spots, including in Carmel. Very good budget-friendly option worth consideration.

The pictures of the room on here do not do it justice. Our room was more modern and cleaner than what we expected! Bed and pillows were comfortable and size of room was perfect. Beware- if you have a ground level floor you will hear every single footstep from the guests upstairs and muffled talking. Parking is terrible. They only have about 7-8 spots in the courtyard for guests, the rest is street parking and hard to come by especially on the weekend. The location is great as everything is within walking distance. We enjoyed walking up to the bakery for coffee and a pastry before walking down to the beach. Overall, I would recommend and stay here again.

Wonderful stay! Would absolutely stay again!

Overall, a great stay! The location was perfect for walking everywhere in Carmel. The room was clean and spacious. Our bathroom, I would say, was larger than average for a hotel bathroom. Just a note (not a complaint), there wasn't central air/heating in our room, BUT the wall heater that was in there worked amazingly as it did get very cold outside at night, and we were kept warm, cozy, and comfortable all night with that heater. I would suggest keeping your bathroom door closed to keep your bedroom warm. Also, something to consider is that our heater did have a sound to it when it was running. For my preference, it was just a tad loud, but my partner slept just fine with it as it felt more like white noise to him. Again, not a complaint but a preference thing to note for potential customers. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again next time we visit Carmel!
