Friendly, clean, affordable, close to everything
Pros: Proximity to local shops and the beach
Cons: No champagne on tap
This was a very nice hotel. Considering the cost of other hotels this close to the beach and shopping areas, I was expecting to have to give up a lot for the prices they had (and just hoping that cleanliness would not be an issue). Contrary to my expectations, the room was excellent and very comfortable. There wasn't a lot to the room, it was essentially just big enough for a couple to get their sleeping in. If you're coming to Carmel for spa treatments, room service, etc then this is probably not the place for you, but if you're visiting to go to local restaurants, walk on the beach, etc then I would absolutely recommend this place.

Even if the off season, Carmel seems to know how to charge for hotel rooms! This seemed to be one of the cheaper ones in the main part of town on a turn-up and see rate.
Certainly what you see is what you get and the rooms were well appointed, perhaps with slightly eccentric decoration and furniture but certainly clean, comfortable and warm!
To put it in context, the room was cheaper than a meal for two in one of Carmel's restaurants. Included breakfast was the typical 'continental style' and fine to get you going for the day.

The location of the Inn is quite great and the climate actually over there is too cold. I saw in the review that people were complaining about the ACs. Actually ACs are not required there at all. Compared to the other hotels, the price is reasonable. Also, you get nice breakfast as well.

Review
We really enjoyed this place!Great location, nice staff. Nice views from the hotel shared second floor balcony. Good Continental breakfast! Very nice plants and fountains all around the property!
BUT, this was all wonderful until we climbed er sat on the bed. We had the corner unit, top floor, overlooking the pool. The wicker bed-frame squeaked any and every time you moved, or even thought about moving.:).
I did not tell the staff because I figured that they knew already. Yes, it sqeaks when one is making the bed, or thinking about making it.:)
And, we certainly could not be the only guest's who noticed this?!!!

Exceeded my expectations
I have been to Carmel many times, but this was my first time staying in this hotel. For the price, it was terrific. (less than $100/night for weekend nights). The location, right on the edge of downtown, and walking distance to many great restaurants, was probably the best aspect of my stay. No need to fight for a parking spot downtown during a holiday weekend! The room was cute, decorated with antique-style, ornate wood wardrobes and small dinette set. The bed was comfortable enough (I am picky about beds!). The bathroom and shower were nicely appointed. The room was pretty tiny, with tight spaces to maneuver when walking from one end to the other, thus my 3-star rating for room comfort. It was quiet and peaceful; I didn't hear any traffic noises from the street. The breakfast was little more than average coffee, OJ, and stale bread and danish, and some oranges, but it's better than nothing. The office and cleaning staff were very friendly and warm. I would definitely stay there again.

Carmel
Great location; close to shops. Small rooms, up-to-date amenities. For breakfast only coffee, juice or milk, and oatmeal, bagels or rolls.

This was our third stay at the Carmel Inn & Suites. It has pretty much become our go-to place in Carmel for family trips.
Carmel is obviously an expensive destination, but this place is quite reasonably priced. Travelling with my wife and daughter, we've taken a suite each time that has a living room with a daybed for my daughter to sleep on, along with a separate bedroom with king-sized bed. We have generally paid between $100 and $150 for these accomodations, depending on the season. The living room and bedrom each has its own wall-mounted gas heater with individual thermostats--a nice feature on chilly, foggy Carmel winter evenings. The rooms are nicely decorated (though a little more frilly and feminine that most of us guys would prefer). The staff is friendly and accomodating. There is a small swimming pool, but unfortunately no hot tub/jacuzzi. The location is great--only two blocks off of Ocean Avenue, and only a block or two from many of Carmel's best restaurants.
I really have only one complaint about the place, and that's that the walls and floors seem a little thin, and guests in other rooms can be heard. The first time this happened, I thought it was just that the neighbors in the next room were loud (and they WERE, and also quite rude), but the last time we stayed we heard noises from the room next door (shouting kids and loud adult voices) and the room above us (the footsteps were so loud it sounded like they must've been wearing ski boots). Again, maybe it was just that these were particularly loud neighbors, but in the middle of the night I also even heard a guest SNORING in some other room, which would suggest the walls are a little too thin unless he happened to be an EXTREMELY loud snorer!
That aside, this is a very good place to stay, at a reasonable rate and in a good location. There's a reason we've returned in the past, and we undoubtedly will again.

Needs updating
Location: Any street close to Ocean Avenue for downtown shopping. Going to the beach would pretty much be the same. The town is small; everything isclose in proximity.
Location was fantastic; we could walk everywhere in downtown Carmel from the inn. However, the inn itself needs updating and some repair. The wallpaper was pealing off the bathroom walls. The electrical sockets were the old 2-prong type, hence we had to have an adapter to plug in our laptop. It just needs to be refurbished.
