Adobe Inn

I would say service is fair, room service was not the greatest, rooms not that clean. Breakfast continental seemed like a great idea but process of checking on a sheet and leaving on door seems not to work best for staff, there always seemed to have our order wrong or not given at all:/
Location is nice, pretty quite but needs a remodel and better staff.

The building is historical and very interesting. The reason you eat here is for the atmosphere. Enjoy the place and have some drinks to wash down the food which is OK and good if you are hungry. I give it 5 stars for the architecture and fun you can have especially with out of state or foreign people.

Location is great, room was spacious and a continental breakfast came with the room.
However, for the price the rooms are way dated.
So not the best value for money…

We found ourselves exploring beautiful places Christmas Eve while I am working in San Francisco. Had to see the lone cypress & 17 mi drive & ended up in Carmel by the Sea. Looking for a place to spend the evening, while seeking a suitable place to refresh & imbibe. Drove past this cool older place. Gina at the desk was warm & welcoming & full of good advice for dining & exploring. This is a simple country inn, a refuge from the urban crush. Our room had a gas fireplace, a deck with a (distant) view of the ocean. This was a lovely way to enjoy a peaceful holiday. Try Napoli for a meal !

We’ve stayed here twice now and both times were great. Very spacious rooms with everything you’d ask for (fireplace, balcony, nice view, some coffee in the morning: D) Other reviews say it’s pricey but guys it’s Carmel, those are the prices everywhere (actually the others are more expensive). The inn is about 2 blocks away from Ocean ave. where all the shops are, it was nice to walk around Sunday morning with the shops just about to open and the sidewalk to ourselves. Very cute town. Not to mention the ocean is just a short walk down the street. The room itself and grounds were very pretty and well maintained. Other huge plus, they have their own parking underground, everywhere you look is 2 hour parking in Carmel.

Cute small hotel in a great location, walking distance and central to all the things-​to-​do in Carmel. Underground parking in a town with limited parking is a plus. I typically stay at corporate hotels throughout the year for business, about 75 – 90 nights per year, so the Adobe Inn was a nice change of pace.
The room was good size, fixtures all in good working condition and the room was clean. Linens were well appointed and we had a small bar and refrigerator in our room. A balcony with two chairs and a small table overlooking the street below made for excellent people watching and a distant view through the trees of the ocean.
I thought the hotel, for the price, was a value, would stay here again.

We stayed here for two nights this week Location is great. Older inn for sure in need of some work. Shower handle needs some repair and or replacing. In order to turn on, you would have to have a good amount of strength. Also We like to have sliding glass door open during this great weather. Having the patio light on all night was a disturbance. Had to close the dark drape so the light on the porch wasn’t in our face. Beds are on the firmer side. Will stay elsewhere next visit.

My wife and I lodged at the Adobe Inn primarily because of its prime location in the heart of Carmel and because of its reasonable cost. Continental breakfasts and parking were complimentary.
Our room provided sufficient space but was in obvious need of reconditioning. For instance, on one wall the outline of a missing framed picture was clearly visible showing grime and indicating the need for a thorough cleaning and/​or a new paint job. As another example, the entranceway to the small deck had a sliding glass door but was missing a screen door. That was significant because the hotel does not air condition its rooms. Leaving the entry open door was not an option because birds constantly perched on the deck (which was totally unusable because of the profuse droppings) and could have easily entered the room if the glass door had remained open. As a result, the only ventilation that we had was a small vent through a wall to the outside that was insufficient for cooling the room.
The staff, however, was congenial and very helpful. Our breakfasts, which were delivered to our room (there is no dining room), offered a good variety of food that satisfied us.
Due to the rundown condition of our room, the Adobe Inn is rated unsatisfactory.

We would stay here again. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. We loved our giant room with fireplace and ocean view. Our location was walking distance to everything.

We chose the Adobe Inn because of it’s central, convenient location. We were attending a couple of events downtown and wanted to walk everywhere. One thing for sure, the people at the front desk couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Our room was large and very clean.
The Inn itself is old and rather dated, particular the bathroom. Btw lighting is TERRIBLE for putting on makeup. We had a corner fireplace but could only get it going two of the four mornings. They deliver a limited-​choices but nice continental breakfast to your door each morning. One morning they forgot our silverware, but all you have to do is call down to the front desk. Coffee maker is in the room. Pets are allowed but we did not hear or see any. We would stay here again.
Room Tips: We stayed in a Horizon View King on the 2^nd floor with a small balcony. We had tiny peeks of the water through the trees. Some interior rooms would have people walking by and you’d probably want to keep your drapes closed.

Location: central to everything. Rooms were enormous — we were in Suite 32 and it was very spacious. The bathrooms need a refresh — especially on the queen bed side of the suite. The shower/​toilet combo is a tight squeeze and the towel rails are placed almost near the ceiling at least 6 ft up which was weird. The breakfast was mediocre with the muffins being inedible. luckily Le Bicyclette is right down the street and food is devine.

Location: Central to all the shops, restaurants. On a quiet street a few walkable blocks from ocean ave.
Reservations: made mine through
, rate was on the high end and special requests need to be made directly to the hotel or no guarantees
Hotel staff: very friendly, accommodating, give u cookies at check in and bring ur breakfast directly to ur room with hot muffins and warm granola.
Hotel facilities: in general, hotel shows signs of age, deterioration, and could stand a bit more TLC. A fresh coat of paint, changing of carpets/​tiles, slightly more updated furniture and it could easily be a 5 star. Rooms on the 2^nd floor, back of the hotel, have an ocean view from the balcony but r less visible from within, d/​t a cinder block balcony.
Over all, I would give it a 5star for location and service and 3 for actual facilities.

Excellent, small pool but heated. Queen double comfy beds. Room service, beautiful plants. Nice size bathrooms great location, very happy. Pricey$$$. Would stay again

Great location: near main shops and beach. Large clean rooms with plenty of space. Nice view of the ocean from the balcony but the balcony itself was useless: tall concrete wall and very old 1970’s worn-​out outdoor carpeting. Small pool but clean. Even a small sauna. The building itself on the exterior is very old and beat up but they updated the rooms. Breakfast was nice but surprised they didn’t provide fresh coffee (coffee maker available in the room). Dog friendly. Good maid service. Basically you are paying for location and a nice comfortable room.

Great, great, great. Get the view ! We were in rm 37. Was lovely, a nice, clean, big room.

The rooms are large, clean and very comfortable. The breakfast is included and delivered to your room! I would not recommend paying extra for the «ocean horizon view». Tiny sliver of a few and not worth the extra money

Great place to stay that is pet friendly. It has a bed and breakfast charm but very clean! Loved the fireplace in our room and the continental breakfast delivered to our room in the morning. Prices are fair, and if you call and pay ahead you can get 20% off!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. They’ve been ultra accommodating from bringing us an extra coffee pot to going to the store to purchase flavored creamer for us. Ultra important stuff. Views of Carmel village from the balcony are priceless. Beautiful courtyards and mature foliage. This will be the regular place to stay in Carmel-​by-​the-​sea! Sergio is amazing

First of all — great location and dog friendly. We stayed two nights and made it to the beach three times. Second — fireplace, wet bar, fridge, hot shower, sauna and pool all worked well.
Downsides — restaurant and bar are closed. Place feels like its heyday was 1955. We liked it but nothing at all fancy about it. They try– cookies and mints on the pillow, but first night only. Should give them 3 stars, but we had a great time.

My husband and I stayed here for one night before running the Big Sur half Marathon in Monterey. I chose this place because it did not have a two-​night minimum say for a Saturday night, and the rate was very reasonable. We stayed in mid– November.
The hotel itself has a courtyard with a bunch of plants– it has a very lush feel. A very small pool that we didn’t try. There is complimentary covered parking for hotel guests. Extremely central to the restaurants and shops in Carmel– everything is in an easy walking distance. Its location is certainly the best feature.
We had a big room with a king-​size bed. The fireplace worked (though we didn’t use it– we only checked because of the other review). Comfy bed and very hot shower that we appreciated after the race. The window opened right onto the street and there was a small balcony. The weather was rainy, so we didn’t sit out there– I think it would have been very nice in better weather.
The negatives– the hotel is a bit on the old side– the doors were not insulated, so you could hear people coming and going. My husband heard nothing in his sleep– so this is only my complaint and not his. Another negative is that they actually give you a metal key for the room. That means you actually have to be responsible– I don’t know if there is a charge if you lose it. Last negative is that they have plastic drinking cups in the room– not glass. This is simply a pet peeve of mine– I travel a lot on business and find plastic cups in hotel rooms depressing.
In sum, we would definitely stay here again based on the location, the rate ad the size of the room.
