Great location and staff. The continental breakfast in the picnic basket was a cute touch in the mornings. Rooms need to be updated as they are a little dated / musty.

Where to even begin! This was my sister and I's first ever trip to California and we chose this lodge because it's one of the less expensive accommodations in the area. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made! Everything from the breakfast basket delivered to my door every morning with croissants, fresh fruit, and fruit juice, to the cozy and cute bathrobes, and happy hour wine and cheese made me feel very at home and cared for. My sister and I shared a King Fireplace room which was plenty big enough, charming, and most importantly VERY clean. There's no AC but there is a fan and windows that open which we found sufficient. Our room had a small kitchen nook with a nice mini fridge that was actually cold enough to store even frozen food. We also got plenty of use out of the Keurig. There's a beautiful balcony with an ocean view that's open for all guests to enjoy, plenty of parking (a must in Carmel), and a beautiful courtyard with a hot tub, which my sister and I got plenty of use out of. Lastly, the location! The lodge is just far enough away from downtown to feel peaceful on the weekends but still close enough to walk to restaurants, cafes, and shopping. Just be prepared to walk uphill and downhill on cobbly streets, as Carmel is very hilly and the sidewalks are mostly uneven stone. I would recommend this stay to anyone thinking of visiting Cali. Thank you so much Horizon Inn for making me feel like a princess!

No elevator. Stairs hard to climb for senior citizens

This property far surpassed my expectations. I actually had a horrible incident passing out and having to get 4 stitches, which should have in theory ruined our trip to Carmel, but this Inn was PERFECT for relaxing in this quaint town. They delivered a picnic breakfast to our door every morning AND provided a free happy hour with snacks and wine to enjoy while sitting out by the fire pits or in the jacuzzi. The staff was amazing and very attentive to our needs. & we enjoyed having free Kuerig coffee in our room daily! If there are rooms available, definitely book!!

The continental breakfast was delivered to your room. This is an innovative way to manage breakfast rather than going to a breakfast room.

Wonderful experience. Hector at the front desk was welcoming and helpful. Will definitely stay there again next year.

A gem. Wonderful rooms with gas fireplaces. Really comfortable beds & bedding. Great outdoor space for socializing by an outdoor fireplace and fire pit. And it was easy to walk to restaurants and through charming neighborhoods. Would stay here again next time.
