The location in Carmen is very comfortable, but for the price we paid the beds were very bad and I find unethic to sell a night for 4 adults with a sofa (often in USA), in this case we paid more then 700 euros and olso the real bed was uncomfortable. Breakfast terrible.

It felt like "bait and switch" regarding the room. First room offered was clean but smelled badly, it seems that it was a pet friendly and I am allergic to pets. I asked for another room and was made to pay additional $money to get a clean and safe room for me. The clerk had a take or leave attitude and I was told if I left without staying I would be charged for the room any way. Clerk kept referring that I booked thru a third party and there wasn't much she could do. Sadly, I will not be using Expedia in the future for my travel needs.

Carmel is Nice, Noise in Suite Is Not

First, Hotels.com should not list this one-bedroom suite as a "Family Cabin". It is NOT a cabin, but the listing led us to believe it would be separate from other accommodations. Instead, it is attached to other suites, and noise can be heard from guests in other suites (including vibrating fans, slamming doors, yelling and screaming children and barking dogs, because this is a "dog friendly" inn). While Carmel is charming, the street noise in the suite can be extreme. We heard loud buses, motorcycles, trucks and construction immediately outside our windows. Most of the noise we tried to ignore when we were trying to relax in the suite because we needed to keep windows open for good air circulation to cool the rooms (and fortunately the air was mostly clean and refreshing). But sometimes it was too much noise and we needed to close windows, which definitely blocked out a lot of the noise. The staff were invariably pleasant and helpful. The continental breakfasts delivered to the door in picnic baskets were a nice touch. The Jacuzzi in the suite was a great amenity. And the free and mostly adjacent parking was very convenient.

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.

What we liked: Happy hour was great. The water dispenser in the patio was great. Room was super clean. The location of the inn was fantastic- close to downtown and the beach. What could be improved: Room had a musty smell. All night, there was a noise from upstairs( foot steps). Pillows were too thin. Breakfast was underwhelming. At $500 per night, a room with those conditions and facing parking lot felt overpriced- even in Carmel.

I actually really loved my stay here bc sucker for real fireplace which made our couple stay intimate and special to me. He was able to relax and we ate n unwind to enjoy each other. But was disappointed the room I elected and reserved was change without notice and was not given advisement of the change during check in. What I reserved was what I expected

We loved staying here and absolutely recommend this hotel to anybody looking to spend time in the Carmel/Monterey area. This hotel is a bit up the street from the main shopping area, which is nice if you want somewhere quiet. We liked that breakfast was included as a picnic basket delivered to the room each morning; much better than having to find breakfast in town each day! The woman who checked us in was particularly friendly and helpful - when we told her we would not need the basket delivered the first morning due to leaving for an early morning whale watch, she provided us with one in advance the night before so we could still have something to eat. This was such a nice, thoughtful touch.
