The location of this inn is wonderful. Easy access to the beach, shops and dining. The room was clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi is also available and included as an inn service. However, the breakfast basket was poorly put together. The contents of the breakfast basket included a styrofoam bowl of a mixed flake cereal, 1 packaged 7 year shelf-life danish,... more

My overall feeling about this lodgings is "it was o.k." Don't get me wrong when I saw o.k. it's not a negative in any way, just does did not blow my socks off and on the other hand did not disappoint me either. I'd give the location 5 stars. Room Cleanliness 5 stars. Breakfast two stars. Furnishing three stars. After... more

We were driving down from Southern California through Big Sur and ended up in Carmel. We did not made the reservation and while driving through Mission street we ended up at Carmel Oaks. We liked the place as we drove in and didn't know what to expect. We took a chance and it turned out to be great. The room... more

Ok, I was looking up a bunch of hotels for the past months for my girlfriend and I. And after all the research, I decided to go to the Clarion Collection. We arrived right on time when it was checkout time. It wasn't hard at all to check in, took less than 3 minutes to receive our key. The young... more

We were very pleased at how they handled the late arrival - although the office was closed when we got there (which they told us up front), keys were waiting and the... more

By Michael A. Miller – Date of visit 8/26-27/07 While we did an extensive web search and finally chose this lodging on arrival we were disappointed, not by the location; but by the motel type setting, hosting, room, and breakfast. First it was difficult to find as the name "Clarion" is not posted. Don't come late as the doors (office)... more

I recently made a reservation to stay at this hotel and had to cancel due to a change in plans. I called the hotel approximately one month before my arrival date and cancelled the reservation. The hotel clerk gave me a cancellation number which I wrote down. I later received an email reminding me of my reservation. When I called... more

Very nice place. It's a little pricey for what you get but I quickly realized everything in Carmel is pricey. Carmel is great though so bring your credit card, have fun, and think about the bills later. The hotel is very cute, off the beaten path of downtown but still close enough to walk to everything but the beach. They... more

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Carmel Oaks Inn. We stayed there for 3 days, the location was excellent. Everything was within walking distance. The staff was very friendly and I really enjoyed the personnal touch of our continental breakfast basket delivered every morning to our door ~ very nice touch. The bathroom was extremely nice with granite... more
