The Vendange Carmel Inn & Suites, Carmel-by-the-Sea

The hotel has some positives like clean and updated rooms named after different wineries, but it's only great with an upstairs unit or one of the suites. The service was a mix, with friendly and helpful staff, but some issues like not being prepared with paperwork and lacking amenities. The location offers a soothing and relaxing vibe, although it's a bit away from Carmel's center. The dining experience provided a classy selection but only in the lobby, not a full-service restaurant.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were lovely, nicely decorated with a fresh smell, and the wine theme design added a unique touch. However, being next to the parking lot was a bit of a downside. The service was super friendly and accommodating, although they had limited options with no alternatives offered. The location was excellent, especially for travelers with a car, and the soothing ambiance made up for the room's small size. The dining experience was good but could be better. The facilities were satisfactory, offering pet amenities and housekeeping services.

My stay at the motel 6 was wonderful and perfectly clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, always exceeding my expectations. The location was lovely, with cute and charming outdoor fire pit and sitting areas. The dining experience was very good with a variety of food and beverage choices. The facilities were satisfactory, offering pet amenities and housekeeping services.
