amazing strolls near countless galleries and lovely parks

During my stay, I loved the fact that there were a few steps to both the Weston Gallery and Devendorf Park, making it so easy to enjoy art and nature right around the corner. plus, the area offers a fantastic selection of restaurants, like Yafa just a short walk away, perfect for grabbing a bite after a day of exploring.

Comfortable king bed with plush pillows made for a pleasant night. The room was clean and had modern amenities, including a fridge and microwave. Unfortunately, the walls were quite thin, leading to noise disturbances, and there were some minor stains on the bedding. Wi-Fi issues at check-in were resolved quickly, but the shower had a worn floor that detracted from the overall experience.

Carmel-by-the-Sea is a foodie paradise! Just a hop away from Clarion, I discovered culinary gems like Forge in the Forest and the cozy vibes at La Balena, where the seasonal fare shines. Plus, the front desk staff were super friendly, making check-in a breeze! The location's a walking wonderland, perfect for exploring art galleries and shops.

While the charm is undeniable, the in-room breakfast situation could use some love—retrieving a bare-bones basket from the office felt off. And oh, the room had a bit of a cigarette smell lingering. not exactly the fresh air you hope for. Despite these hiccups, it still had its moments.

My stay at the Clarion in Carmel-by-the-Sea was delightful. The cozy queen suite offered comfort, and the charming picnic basket breakfast was a lovely touch. Despite a slight smoky odor in the room, the friendly staff and prime location made my visit memorable.

The location of Clarion is its standout feature, close to adorable shops and great restaurants. I appreciated the clean room, though the decor felt dated. The absence of air conditioning in a $300+ room was surprising. it made for a sweaty night waking up multiple times. Parking was fine, but tight, and I struggled to find a good space. The complimentary breakfast didn’t impress. it consisted of minimal cereal, an apple, and a small pastry. I encountered ants in the room, which was unsettling, despite the staff's casual explanation about spilled milk. The staff seemed indifferent at times. I expected more engagement, especially around service issues. Overall, the stay had its ups and downs, but I wouldn’t highly recommend it, especially for the price.

I had a pleasant stay for two nights. The room was cozy and clean. Walking distance to shops and restaurants made it convenient. Breakfast was delivered to the door, which was nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. 😊

A Perfect Romantic Getaway in Carmel-by-the-Sea

My partner and I had a blissful one-night stay filled with delightful moments. The serene atmosphere and beautiful nearby trails made for romantic walks. The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring our needs were met. I recommend exploring local eateries. Hogs Breath provided a delightful dinner experience!

The location is fantastic for exploring Carmel, with the beautiful beach just a short walk away. Our family had a wonderful time whale watching at Old Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey. The room was clean and equipped with a microwave and fridge, which made it convenient for our little ones.

My kids wished there were more activities for them at the hotel.

The location is perfect, just a stroll from shops and restaurants. Our room was clean and had USB ports, which was super handy. The towels were fresh and the daily cleaning was a nice touch. The fridge and microwave made our stay even better!
