We just returned from our second stay at the Coashman Inn. Located right -smack- in the middle of the downtown- PARK your car (parking is included) and galivant around the town without a care. Karen - the manager - is on it. She goes out of her way to make sure all of your needs are taken care of. The rooms are quaint- king rooms are sumptuous with the fire place and the queen rooms are quite plush. Beds and linnens were dream-inducing. Now, lets talk about food. The Coachman's Inn is the superhero who bursts COVID's bubble. Every day, you are presented with a wine and cheese picnic. Everything is portioned out and prepared equisitely. Breakfast is an affair as well. You fill out a menu of your breakfast preferences (non dairy milk included!!!) and select a time. The next morning a magical person delivers a bag of deliciousenss to your doorstep. I adored the egg frittata and fruit. I felt incredibly safe here. The front desk checked in with us throughout the stay and took care of all of our needs. Karen and Coachman's Inn, thank you for making these trips to special for my family and I I look forward to visiting soon. P.S. Go to the Treehouse restaurant accross the street. You will not be dissapointed. read more

Get the top floor! It's 6 am and I'm sitting in my hotel room exhausted. We're in 207 and whoever is above has literally been running around their room non-stop for two nights and I've heard EVERY STEP. This place is charming with the breakfast and cheese plate, but you hear EVERYTHING going on in the room above you. Also, people comment how good they are with texting about a room being ready. We did not experience that. Not worth it. We had a much better stay at the Carriage Inn. read more

I thought I had really done my research when booking our specific room for a milestone birthday & anniversary. The online description said that sink/mirror area was in the room which I didn't want so I called the front desk and asked if there was a separate sink/mirror in the bathroom for more privacy. She assured me that there was a separate sink/mirror in the bathroom. Upon checking in for a 4 night stay, there was no sink/mirror in the bathroom. I spoke to the front desk person and was hoping to switch rooms and was told that she didn't know who would have told me that and that there were no other rooms available. The noise level in the room above us was super loud and we could hear their every move. I guess we all have different preferences for a good experience but if privacy and quietness are important to you, be careful which room you choose. At least the weather was great and the restaurants didn't disappoint. read more

Clean, comfortable room. Warm, friendly service. Great housekeeping staff. Nice amenities. We really enjoyed the fireplace in our room. Yay for the free parking! We did the breakfast our first day and found it only so-so, but that's not why we're here and we've been very happy to try out Carmel's many excellent breakfast options. We ended up extending our stay. read more

While the staff was extremely friendly and the location was good the room was painfully hot and they gave us very dinky fan that didn't move nor big enough to actually make any difference to the room. You'd think during a heat wave and the prices you're paying (which was quite expensive at $300 a night) they invest in grabbing portable ACs or even multiple fans per room. Nope... also you really can't have the windows open unless you want everyone walking past you room to literally see everything you do. Also another issue was that you couldn't open the bathroom window since they had it bolted shut so no chance of even a nice cross breeze if you wanted. Also the parking situation is very bad if you are not their right when everyone shuffles out you will constantly worry about hopefully getting a spot. It's unfortunate because it's a quaint hotel but if it's hot you'll just melt to uncomfortable levels where your looking to book a hotel elsewhere just for having an AC or a cross breeze. read more

Coachman's Inn - Barely had any power and didn't move at all. - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, California

Awful experience. Noise level is terrible. Many room right outside breakfast area with tables right in front of room for patrons to sit. This starts at 8 am and then again from 4-6 during wk e hour. No privacy whatsoever and again, LOUD! Would never recommend this place unless you get the two rooms furthest away from the office/doos area. read more

Enjoyed my stay at this location. The room was chilly but it was a nice size and there is great attention to detail even when you walk outside of your room with the plants and seating areas. It is a nice touch to have a fireplace in each room. The front desk was always friendly and helpful. They kept the eating area clean and attractive. There was always different food and drink items each day which was so wonderful to not have to leave the Inn for breakfast or an evening snack. Thank you front desk for making my stay great! The location is excellent and plenty of space in the courtyard. read more

This hotel was simply ok. Not awesome. Not horrible. When I checked in, they were experiencing a power outage. They were kind enough to give the option to cancel without penalty, but it was early enough in the day that I assumed the power would come back on, so I said I'd check in. I was given my key, was pointed to my room, and that's it. They have a texting system for questions which I used for times of breakfast, since I wasn't told about that. I also wasn't told that apparently there's an afternoon wine available? So, I missed out on that if it existed. Breakfast was wonderful both days I was there. Parking is a challenge, so be ready for that. Very narrow slots, and not enough for the rooms of the hotel. Rooms were outdated and need a refresh. Also, a lot of street noise. Beds were comfortable however, and the room was quite large. read more

Coachman's Inn was charming. It is located in the heart of Carmel, so we were able to walk everywhere. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the rooms are lovely. We had a nice king size bed with a fireplace. We celebrated our anniversary, so we also splurged for the extra rose petals/chocolates/candles which was displayed when we arrived. We enjoyed the hors d'oeuvres and wine on the first day, which was great. Nothing special, but considering it's included in the price of the room, it was a nice little treat. The breakfasts were decent, but pretty much the same as a continental breakfast at any hotel. We've been to bed and breakfasts where the breakfast was plated each day with a menu--this was a little bit more informal and buffet style. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend this bed & breakfast. read more

Coachman's Inn - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, California

Had a wonderful 2 nights stay.. we hardly left our block. It's conveniently located near restaurants shops wine tasting rooms and ocean!! Serve delicious breakfast every morning decent wine and great cheese and cookies afternoon. Lady is super friendly and very accommodating. Room is a little muggy but opening the window gives a nice ocean breeze. Walls are a little thin so your neighbors can hear everything Overall, great place for your money read more

We have stayed in Carmel numerous times over the years, but hadn't stayed at the Coachman's Inn until this trip. We were greatly by the friendliest staff and reminded of the breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese served daily. We stayed in a king suite with a fireplace and jetted bathtub. The room we stayed in was not carpeted, but had hard wood floors. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was perfect for taller people which is often not the case. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. You're within walking distance of excellent food, shopping, and the ocean. Many places you stay at in Carmel are drafty and you can hear through the walls. That was not the case here. The room felt private and comfortable. The parking lot is on the smaller side and a bit tight for SUV's. We had a lovely dinner across the street and will be sure to visit again. read more

We had an ok stay. This was our second time staying at a four sister's inn recently. The food is better at this location and the beds more comfortable. But overall it was not as pleasant of a stay as our previous experience. We got in around 4 pm got to pick up our wine and picnic basket when we checked in. The picnic baskets are nothing fancy but a pleasant little nibble with fresh cookies, cheese, nuts, and a few crackers with canned wine. After that we left to go get dinner when we got back, there was no parking and we had to park on the street. The nearest street parking is all 2 hour limits from 8a to something like 7pm. So we were ok until the next morning. The walls are paper thin. We were on the first floor and could hear the above guests until about 1 am. It didn't even seem like they were doing anything that should have been noticeably loud- just walking around and having seemingly normal conversation. Breakfast the next morning was an omelet/scrambled egg sort of square loaded with lots of cheese on top, yogurt with granola, and a crossaint to share. I do like that you get a whole carafe of coffee. When we finished eating some of the parking spots had opened up and my husband moved our car in from off the street. The location of the hotel is great. There are so many restaurants, shops, and spas within walking distance. We spent a lot of the afternoon just checking the area out. We came back to our room to relax for awhile before dinner. It was not very relaxing though as now the upstairs guests sounded like they were hosting marching practice and maybe a bowling tournament. The hotel has a cool system where they text you to check in with you, let you know when picnic baskets are ready, and they encourage you to text them if you need anything. After an hour or so of our extremely noisy upstairs neighbors we finally text the front desk to see if they could do anything about the noise. We didn't hear anything back from the front desk so we decided to stop by the reception area on our way out to dinner for the night. And really this is the part that soured our stay. The person working the front desk that night wasn't actually inside. He was standing in front of one of the doors and initially we thought he was just another guest and we were going to use the other door to enter the lobby. That was when he greeted us and asked if we were hotel guests or not. We co formed we were and he started asking us about where we were parked and if the car we had just grabbed our coats from was ours. We confirmed that yes, we were guests and that was our car. He then asked if we were in a parking spot. My husband and I were both caught completely off guard and told him yes, we'd thought it was and had while our car was there all day and another car had been there yesterday. We asked if we were mistaken and he said he didn't know and pointed out a different car not in a parking spot but parallel parked and told us they just try to accommodate people. Then he asked if we were the ones who had complained about the other guests and we told him yes. He then told us repeatedly how he had tried to call the hotel room phone several times (he emphasized he'd called it several times t least 3 or 4 times and we didn't answer). Our phone never rang and when we told him so he said it must have been off the hook. He said the guests above us this night were new guests not the ones from the night before and assured us he would talk to them and asked us to check our phone when we got back from dinner. When we returned, we looked closer at where we were parked. There were clearly marked parking lines that our car was within. We had the proper parking rage we had been given. And there was also a parking bumper exactly like every other parking spot in the small lot. We also double checked to see that there weren't any "no parking" or special designations for that spot. We still could find nothing to indicate we were not supposed to be parked there. We also checked the phone when we got back in. As far as we could tell, the phone had never been off the hook. We even tested if calling one of our own cell phones and it worked fine. All of that just left us feeling like we'd been hassled unnecessarily from the front desk clerk, or maybe in retaliation for asking them to have the other guests be courteous and stop with the stomping and shouting. At least for the rest of the evening the upstairs guests were much quieter. The paper thin walls meant we could still hear their every step and muffled conversations, but with the paper thing walls I think they would have had to tip toe and whisper to not be heard at all. Breakfast the next morning was almost the same. This time the egg thing had mushrooms on top and we got a croissant for each of us. We did appreciate that they let us check out an hour late with no issue. I think if we decided to stay here again we'd request to be on the upper floor. read more

We really liked Coachman's Inn! The room was cute and clean. The hotel is centrally located. The cocktail hour and breakfast are both really nice and delicious. The head innkeeper was so helpful, and her suggestions for walks and restaurants and driving were excellent. Recommend! read more

Coachman's Inn is pleasant and convenient. Like most Carmel hotels, it has a quaintness to it. Pros: * Downtown; easy walking distance to everything * Off-street parking lot * Comfortable bed * Breakfast; wine & cheese in the afternoon; cookies in the lobby * Pleasant staff * Reasonable rates compared to other comparable hotels in town Cons: * Fewer parking spaces than rooms, so you may miss out. People don't always park well, so even when there is a spot you may not be able to get into it and still open your car door. * Very thin walls. You can especially hear everything in the room above you. Let's just say that the couple above us enjoyed some "romance" after we tried to go to sleep, so we had to turn our tv on and turn it up to drown them out. * Foot traffic and noise if you are on the second floor by the breakfast room * There are advertised specials on the website, but they limit how many rooms they will sell at those rates. Don't get too excited about a discount until you search for a reservation and see it as an option for your desired dates. My aunt and uncle were visiting Carmel from out of town and we were meeting them for dinner, so we decided to stay overnight in Carmel. We had stayed at Coachman's once before and, after comparing rates at various hotels, their rate seemed reasonable and their breakfast looked better than what other hotels offer, by comparison. I saw a special for 30% off on their website for bookings Sunday through Thursday. Perfect! However, I couldn't figure out how to get the discount, so I called. That is when I learned that they limit how many of those specials they offer and it wasn't available for the Sunday evening I wanted to book. It is always frustrating to know that the person in the room next door paid a lot less, but to the staff member on duty's credit (Tawnya) she did give me a smaller discount to secure my business. We arrived in time for the complimentary happy hour. We didn't know what wine we were drinking because it was put in a carafe, but the red was palatable. The nibbles also went beyond cheese. There were some warm appetizers as well as veggies, a yummy dip, and hummus. We had a pleasant time sitting there with our nibbles and wine. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom is on the small side. It would be challenging for me if I was staying a week and had more toiletries with me, but for overnight it was fine. Lesson learned, though: Our room was two doors down from the breakfast room and the room where they prep the food and take the dishes is a few doors further down from that. There was lots of foot traffic, some noise from other patrons sitting outside, and a general lack of privacy during certain hours. I already mentioned the "entertainment" upstairs later that night. In the future, I would call when booking and request a third-floor room, only. The complimentary breakfast included options such as bagels, toast, hot and cold cereal, a baked french toast dish, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, and bacon. It was more than adequate to start the day and the hot options are more than what some other local hotels offer. Overall, Coachman's is a good location, they offer nice amenities, and the staff are pleasant. I would stay there again, but request the third floor, as I mentioned. read more

Very cozy, comfortable and welcoming place to stay. What I love about this place is the convenience it gives to anyone staying here to literally walk anywhere in "downtown" Carmel to the numerous restaurants and coffee shops. The rooms are great and their continental breakfast along with their wine and cheese hour are excellent. The one downside here is the limited parking on-site as they only have a limited number of narrow spaces on the hotel property. Very friendly and welcoming staff though. read more

Motel 6 noise level for $200 a night which is disappointing. The people above us weren't doing anything "bad" necessarily, but you could hear their every step, them dragging furniture, their bed creaking, etc. and then at 6am, the cleaner's carts rolling back and forth above and next to us, hammering, knocking, slamming doors, etc. And there was a weird, loud dripping noise too throughout the room? I thought it was rain pattering down but it wasn't so...that was weird?? My husband and I loved the service at the front desk, the person was very friendly!! We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub, too. There are also so many little stores and restaurants within walking distance so that was very convenient. read more

great little spot. good value. lovely staff. impeccably maintained. Good brekkie and arvo wine+cheese. Nice hot-tub. Our room was not beautiful but wasn't bad either - the bed however was brill - huge firm king! The road out the back was occasionally noisy but c'est la vie. Pick an upstairs room in the middle. Highly recommended. read more

Very cute hotel. No elevator so there's rooms where you might have to climb stairs. Parking was available. Jacuzzi. My room had a street view and the windows were able to open to get fresh air. Fireplace was nice in the room. The tub had jets if you want to take a bath. They had a nice breakfast and complimentary wine hour with Hors d'oeuvres. They had a Keurig with complimentary k-cups and hot chocolate. Chocolates were placed on bed after cleaning. Fresh baked cookies available in the afternoon. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Front desk workers were nice. I'd stay again read more

We had a very enjoyable stay! The receptionist allowed us to check in early which was very convenient, and even upgraded our room. Upon arrival they gave us our wine and cheese picnic which was a super cute touch! They also texted us a few times during our stay to make sure that everything was going smooth. Breakfast was an egg casserole type thing, with yogurt and granola, fruit, and croissants. Yummy! I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to a friend! read more

Out of all of the Four Sister Hotels, this one is one of our favorites. The location can't be beat. It's within walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. The hotel is an older property, but it is well maintained. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable albeit the furnishings are sparse and a bit dated but we could live with it. Karen at the front desk is very helpful. Breakfasts were abundant, fresh afternoon cookies were a nice treat, and the afternoon wine and snacks were nice. We never had a problem with parking and felt very safe staying at this hotel. We will definitely return. read more

Quaint little boutique hotel in the center of Carmel shops and galleries. Karen greeted us with genuine warmth and consideration. Love this place. read more

June 3-6th 2024 (just last week). Rented two rooms, a single, and for my three daughters, a double. First off, love the ladies at the front desk lobby. Sweet, personable and accommodating. They started us off right and Carmel stood on their shoulders inasmuch as my daughters (their first time in Carmel) kept talking on the trip back how nice everyone is. The rooms were clean, not at all old, bathrooms seemed to be richly re-done, and the beds (I also asked my daughters) were comfortable. We had just spent (June2) at the Pier in Santa Monica and were still rattled by the short walk back to our SM hotel, so our hands were still shaking. Thank goodness for Carmel. Guests at the Coachman seem to thieve on the unwritten Carmel way, that is to enjoy yourself while adhering to why people visit this beautiful spot by the Sea, and that's for the peace and quiet that goes with acting civil, courteous and leaving no footprints. People staying at the Coachman were talkative, responsive and just plain nice. As for the quiet there, so enjoyably tangible to the senses, I actually held by cellphone off the walkway over the parking lot and told a caller to listen. Back on the phone the words, "I don't hear anything." I responded, "Exactly, why do you think I come here. And to think, there's three floors of rooms around me." People get it... Without me saying a word my 15 year old said, "I really love it here, it's so peaceful," and her sisters agreed. In the mornings we were treated to a lovely breakfast, more than we expected. There's hot coffee, juices, fresh cut fruits, yogurts, toppings, an egg dish, fresh oatmeal, and associated food sides to fill your plate up against a working fireplace. We were very thankful for the efforts made, truly enjoyed our stay, and look forward to returning. read more

We stayed at the Coachman's Inn. Why? That's because: 1) it's hard to find an affordable, pet-friendly hotel in Carmel/Monterey, 2) they gave us a deal that we couldn't refuse.... First of all, for $30 extra per night, I can bring TWO dogs! That's a great deal. Secondly, they don't charge extra for parking! Now that's hard to find. Thirdly, for less than $200 per night including my canine son & daughter, with a fireplace, and an in-room jacuzzi, that's a deal we couldn't resist. For noise sensitive folks, you can stop reading now and look for some place else, since this spot is going to annoy the $hit outta you. The walls are paper-thin. Yep, we can hear the upstairs rumbling, sounded like a murder was taking place, thank goodness this was in the a.m. and we were wide awake, but even the dogs were like w-t-f woof! In addition to the upstairs, there's construction going on right next door, and they start promptly at 7:00am. Yep! But we don't mind. Good thing I was trained in Hong Kong early on in my childhood to be able to sleep through noise level that most folks can't tolerate. And plus, 7:00am morning call from the construction wake us up to let the dogs go peepee poopoo. Ok, enough for the bads, now for the goods. Firstly, we got free breakfast delivered to our door with mini-danish and an oj per person, that was pretty cool. Not AWESOME, but pretty cool. Free Wi-Fi at no extra charge is a plus. Seems like they updated most of the stuff like a single-served coffee maker where you put the pod in, and it'll brew for you. That's cool. They updated their TV to flat panel, and hooked it up with direct tv service. That was cool too. The room was extremely clean, the bathroom was updated. Nice nice nice and nice sized jacuzzi tub. Pretty nice size room that fit 2 adults, 2 pitbulls very comfortably. Cool updated fireplace. We like. We also stayed in Room 101, and I don't think the window is an issue. Maybe they upgraded it. Now I can say for a fact that celebrity golfers, actors, performers would NOT like to stay here. Maybe those who haven't made it to the celebrity status yet would. But to me, this is FAR better than Motel 6. This spot is centrally located and walkable to the dog friendly beach. Now my dogs were happy, we were super happy. Will probably return next year and book the same room! read more

Coachman's Inn - Pet Friendly King Room with Fireplace & in-room jacuzzi - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, California

This is a very sweet and charming place to stay. Location is great, right in the middle of downtown Carmel. They have a large lot for guest parking, but if you're the last to arrive, it may be full and then you'd have to find a spot on the street. Parking can be hard in Carmel at times, so having this lot is nice. The rooms are clean, decorated very nicely, and the mattresses and bedding are comfortable. We chose a room with 1 Queen and 1 Twin. We didn't opt to use it, but our room had an adjoining door with the neighboring room, which would be great if you're trying to house a larger family, for example with kids. They provide wine, drinks, cheese, cookies and crackers in the afternoon (u pick it up from front office during the pandemic, or you get it when you check in). They also provide a nice simple breakfast, which was great for helping us get out the door quickly in the mornings. You pick what you want from a menu with offerings like "hot breakfast option" (for us, it was egg frittata), a pastry or muffin, yogurt (with or without granola), fruit, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. There are nice table and chairs outside for enjoying a meal, and overall they've done a nice job providing an enjoyable environment. Karen at the front desk is fantastic. All the staff respectfully wore masks. The reason I didn't give a full five stars is the walls/floors are a little on the thin side, and we could hear people talking and walking, above us and adjacent to us. (We were on a lower floor.) We're easy going so it didn't bother us while we were awake. But because our upstairs neighbor was on a very different schedule from us (pretty audible footsteps and talking early in the morning), we did resort to putting in ear plugs when we slept. We're used to wearing ear plugs for sleeping, so it wasn't a big deal for us. But I do recommend trying to book a top floor room if possible ... and bringing ear plugs just in case! The price is a little on the high side, but that's Carmel, and you're paying for the prime location. I do recommend trying it out. We've also stayed at their sister resort, the Wayside Inn, and really liked that place as well! read more

The 5 stars is for the excellent/kind service from manager Karen (been there for over 25 years) and the really good home cooked breakfast daily. First morning was an egg casserole and potatoes the next day was a baked French toast casserole, and of course all the usual fixings like oatmeal, bagels, English muffins, coffee cake, coffee, tea and juice. You can tell they take pride in what they are serving. Our room was just ok, but the location to all the shops and restaurants was great. We stayed her by recommendations from a friend and we were not disappointed. Wine and cheese in the afternoon tops off your day after the Aquarium or the 17 mile drive! read more

After a rough time at an AirBnB in Incline Village (Lake Tahoe) it was so nice to be welcomed in with open arms and warm smiles. We got there at 11 a.m., way before check-in at 4, they allowed us to park in their lot (if you know Carmel, you know parking is very limited). As we were out perusing the cute stores downtown, we got a text at around 1:00 pm that our room was ready. They went the extra mile to get us in our room way before check-in and didn't charge an early check-in fee. We asked about wine tasting and their suggestion, Scheide (two doors door) turned out to be quite lovely. At 4 pm there were freshly baked cookies for all the guests. At 4:30 there was a wine/tea and apps hour (actually it went until 6 pm) in their lounge. We chose to enjoy the tea, apps, and a game of Scrabble (there were several games to choose from). At 7 pm we asked for the key to their private jacuzzi and sauna. So nice to have the place to ourselves for an hour. The room was well appointed and very comfortable. In the morning we enjoyed the complimentary light breakfast. This will be our go to when in Carmel again. read more

During our baby moon in CA, we stayed at the Coachman's Inn hotel. The hotel is in a great location. We loved that the breakfast was fresh, and homemade baked cookies in the evenings. The staff was friendly yet not over accommodating. We thought our room was not what they posted online. The room was clean, comfortable but hot. The rooms were very loud, not much privacy along with the barking dog 4 rooms down. There wasn't enough parking two nights we had to park on the street and move our car at 6am. (which isn't fun on vacation!) The bathroom was extremely tiny and had zero warm water. We complained to the front desk, but they told me that that's how it always is " maybe you take too hot of showers." The hotel has many positives, yet a few negatives. read more

I'm going to take the time to write this review because I want everyone to know how great the staff at the Coachman's Inn is. We came into town on a Friday and stayed in Monterey, where we had an awful experience. I started looking for a new place to stay immediately and called Coachman's and was able to get a room. We had a wedding the attend Saturday that started at 4 PM, which wouldn't have worked out for check-in times. The staff was super understanding and were able to get us a room a few hours early so we could have time to get ready. With a baby, that made all the difference. The Inn itself is very pretty, location is great and they offer all kinds of great perks. I can't recommend them highly enough and would definitely stay here again! read more

Coachman's Inn was a great place to stay when we went to visit Carmel. The staff is friendly and have changed their processes for the pandemic. Everyone was wearing masks, and there was contactless snack and breakfast delivery. Parking was next to the facility and readily available. Wifi was strong and fast. The room was really nice, with a gigantic television and even a working (electric) fireplace! The location was very central, and we were able to walk around everywhere outside of the hotel. Such a great place, and would highly recommend! read more

Delightful place! We already booked our return visit. The front desk staff is kind and charming. Their more elaborate hospitality, food-wise, has been on put on hold due to Covid, but they are doing all that they can to be generous and welcoming. We got a lovely welcome basket with a cheese plate and wine to take with us. Breakfast delivered to our room was really nice. I was worried about our room on street level next to the sidewalk, but Carmel-by-the-Sea is a sleepy little town, even on a Saturday when we stayed, and noise was not an issue. Rooms are luxurious and clean. Nice to have the gas burning fireplace. I happened to leave a few items of clothing in the closet, and they were kind enough to mail them back to me. Many hotels will not do this, and the little touches were greatly appreciated. Look forward to coming back! read more

The property was very welcoming and in a great location for walking around town. It is an older property with a lot of charm, but no elevator so it was hard to get our bags up the stairs. They had a lovely check in process (despite Covid) and provided a wine/cheese "happy hour" that we could take to our room. Parking was available on property and we felt very safe. read more

Loved loved loved. The rooms need a little updating but the beds were Comfortable and the sheets were the silkiest I've ever felt. The breakfast and the happy hour are enough to feed you so you don't really need to go out for much food during your stay. I will go back for sure! Carmel by the Sea is amazing. read more

Decent enough motel, but the receptionist (Arthur) was haughty, rude and unprofessional. He seemed to have forgotten that he works in a service industry, and that we were guests. I had stayed at the Inn at Spanish Bay while playing golf at Pebble Beach in the few days before, and the contrast could be greater in terms of hospitality and professionalism. The Coachman's Inn can certainly do better. read more

The room was sparkling clean and had all essentials you may need. The receptionist, Arthur, was an exceptional host at the hotel. They gave us a cheese platter and two wine cans at the check in. Hotel is located in down town and lots restaurants are in walking distance. We stayed for one night. I strongly recommend the hotel. read more

I had a very nice stay here on one Sunday night here with two girlfriends and a small dog. I was extremely happy with this place! Highly recommended!! - Free parking (they let us park after the check out at 11am until 3pm too!) - Spacious room with a large bathroom (jet bath!) - Rocking chairs - Fireplace (unfortunately we weren't able to make it work, but nice visually) - Jacuzzi and sauna room (unfortunately we didn't have time to use them) - Cute little breakfast delivered to the room (OJ, yogurt, croissant, cereal) - Great location (two blocks from Ocean Ave) Only a couple of wishes for improvement. - Wi-Fi connection - Fireplace (since the heater was working properly, it wasn't a problem, but it sure is nice to have the flame in the fireplace for visual entertainment) - Maybe longer hours for jacuzzi & sauna (until 11pm?) read more

You will not be disappointed! The hotel is clean, comfortable, convenient in its location and they offer complimentary breakfast as well as cheese and wine in the afternoon. The staff were helpful and made our stay easy. They even allowed us to leave our car in their parking lot after checkout to avoid having to drive around town for a parking spot. read more

We got there after driving up the coast, hoping for an early check-in. We were told that our room had a plumbing issue and they were working on it. 4:00 .....still no guarantee of a room. They agreed to cancel our reservation. Big deal, we now had to scramble for a room at 4:00 PM on a Saturday in Carmel. We spoke to the assistant manager who said we would get a complete refund. We inquired again, and were told not our problem, call Expedia. Got a call from Expedia promising a refund in 10 business days. Now 2 weeks later, nothing. Called Coachman's, sorry, not our problem call Expedia. And, the icing on the cake, if you are on the 3rd floor, be prepared to lug your bags up 3 flights of stairs, no assist. We are done with B and B"s. Always book direct. read more

This place is absolutely wonderful! We got a last minute deal online for about $250 a night (which is a good deal for what we got and the location that it is in in Carmel). We arrived about 10 minutes before check in and that was not an issue. We were greeted by the owner/manager who invited us to their 4:30-6 wine happy hour. This was great! Beer, wines, sodas, and appetizers on hot plates that were fresh and delicious. There was brie cheese, artichoke dip, fruit, crackers, and I was thoroughly impressed. The warm and inviting room we stayed in was a bit outdated, but they had a few things to keep us enjoying like the big and new TV, coffee maker with cold coffee in the fridge, a microwave, and a heater AND a fireplace. The bed was pretty comfortable and we got a great night sleep. We woke up for breakfast which was another more gourmet situation with lots of options (both hot and cold). The only thing about this place to improve is the parking situation as there is not enough parking for all people staying when it's a packed house. However, there is ample street parking that we found right near the inn. Definitely check this place out!~ read more

Coachman's Inn - Wine and appetizers served from 4:30-6! - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, California

Stayed here for one night to attend a wedding. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and accommodations were nice. Pros *Located near the heart of downtown Carmel. If you are going to do a lot of shopping, close to everything. *The hotel is pet friendly. We brought our chihuahua/terrier. We also saw a Rottweiler staying at the hotel as well. *Has a parking lot. Not very many located near downtown Carmel have limited parking. *Cute little breakfast provided. If you're looking for a hot breakfast- go elsewhere. *Nice deck to see the street view. *Room we stayed in was spacious and clean. Cons *You can hear the neighbors through the walls. Kind of hard if you're taking a nap mid-day. *Driveway/parking is narrow. Discovered a dent on my car door right after leaving the hotel. :( *Since we had a pet, we had to stay on the bottom floor where everyone could see into our room. You can't enjoy the view since we closed the blinds. *Slight smell in the room but it was more like a deodorant since we stayed in a pet room. Overall It was worth the money that we spent through hotwire. If you're staying in Carmel and spending majority of the time out, stay here. Good place to stay and staff seemed nice. read more
