The hotel was wonderful. Service was exceptional, the breakfast in the courtyard was really special. The rooms were very comfortable with robes, slippers and nespresso machine. The location is in the heart of carmel and short distance to the beach. It was ideal being there We stayed up in October and it was in the mid 60s to 70 so at night we left our windows open however there is no air conditioning so we would not have enjoyed our stay in the mid summer. Be cautious of that.

Very overpriced. Blonde European at the front desk who checked us in was so unwelcoming and defensive- an angry person should not work at the front desk when you are paying $600+ per night. Rooms have amazing bathrooms, but the slick Waterworks fixtures and Matouk bath towels didn’t make up for the cramped room, stained carpet and short stairs that you can barely/safely walk down. Rest of staff was super friendly and helpful. Hotel should seriously put someone else at that front desk if they want guests to feel welcomed without a nasty attitude.

Decor - rooms are outdated with a number of old, faded, stained furniture... see for yourself, photos below. This hotel should definitely NOT be part of luxury Auberge group. What a disappointing experience compared to Auberge du Soleil in the Wine country

One of the nicest Inns we’ve stayed at. Our room was spacious with a king size bed, two comfortable chairs, a huge bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. The extra amenities were wonderful including a Nespresso coffee pot, turndown service and homemade snacks. The included breakfast was delicious.

Very attentive to needs, except I kept trying to reach the staff prior to our arrival and I could never reach anyone. I wasn’t happy that we couldn’t peruse a dinner menu when we arrived and wanted to make plans for the evening. A nice gift was presented for our special occasion. We thought 4 pm check-in very late. For the cost of the room, I didn’t think they should have had add-on-cost items to the breskfast.But we did enjoy the option to have breakfast delivered to our room. A nice experience for one time but we would not elect to stay there again.

The hotel is located at the heart of Camel-by-the-Sea where you can enjoy walks around the town and access to various restaurants and shops. All the staff at the hotel are nice and courteous. The room was nice, cozy, and warm at night as well. It was great that they were able to park my car at a gratuity/fee which is expected in the busy town. All good.

The staff was incredibly service oriented. We were able to check in early with no problem. The concierge drove us to dinner and picked the group up afterwards; very helpful as it was a rainy night. Our room was in the courtyard and was perfect - size, layout, quiet. The bathroom was nicely equipped.

My wife and I stayed for the weekend and brought our dog. It is pet friendly with a $250 fee per pet and a 20 lb limit. The property is beautiful and the service is excellent. They had bowls and a dog bed in our room for our dog which was a nice touch. The complementary breakfast is excellent as well. Overall, a fantastic place to stay!

The staff was very nice. And we enjoyed the included breakfast. But the facility is so limited, and the price so high, that I would never come back nor recommend. Small room. Noise from the street (including a 6am delivery truck), plus the restaurant and courtyard -- since there's no A/C you need to keep windows open. Valets just park your car in the neighborhood; sometimes they fetched it, another time we were handed keys and given directions. Unbelievably, I tried to watch something on HBO, and it wasn't available! Roadside motels give you HBO, but not the L'Auberge Carmel! Way too expensive for what you get.

This L'Auberge is small and a bit dated. There was a fan noise all night that almost sounded like a generator. No air conditioning and the windows only open a small amount due to being on the street, at least our room. Breakfast is good, simple and served in the courtyard that is strangely decorated with old animal (elephant and other) statues and an outdoor sunshade that is tied to them. We will choose a different hotel next time.

I have always enjoyed The Cypress Inn, and all that it offers. But I believe I have a new favorite hotel in Carmel. Everyone was absolutely wonderful.... I'm quite sure L'Auberge has hosted several influential and prominent people, but my dog and I were treated as if we were royalty. Thank you.

We expected more from this Relais & Chateau property. It seems very overpriced for the quality of the rooms. The room was VERY warm, stuffy. The bellman brought out a fan from the closet as well as a 2nd fan. The opened windows did not get any cross-breeze and brought in the noise from the garbage/storage area on the side as well as the common courtyard where guests can gather to lounge or have breakfast. We were informed that there is no A/C here because it is an historic hotel, yet there was a split-mini air conditioning unit in the restaurant. Nowhere (on their website or hotels.com) do the room descriptions mention that there is no A/C. We ran the two fans the whole stay in late August. If your room faces the courtyard, you will hear chatter, service help radios and doors opening as well as some music from the restaurant. Room 17 had a hardwood floor, no area rug. There were not any other mirrors in the room, not even by the closet for dressing, only in the bath. The staff did not have a portable stand mirror for the desk. The upholstered chairs need to have their stuffing/foam replaced. The bed mattress was somewhat uncomfortable. The wall outlets were worn and falling out as our plugs would not stay in. Staff tried to fix it by putting a large multiplug on it, but that kept falling out, too. Staff was friendly, polite and helpful. The morning breakfast arrived as ordered or you could choose to have it served in the courtyard. Cleanliness & location was great!

Very quaint hotel with high end linens/pillows. Attentive, understated service which we enjoyed. Breakfast outside in courtyard with a fountain and flowers. Close walk to the beach. Restaurant was unfortunately closed because it was Monday. We will return and make a dinner reservation!

no parking - weird staff - poor tv - good wine - small breakfast but tasty - hotel is extremely overrated - just because a room has a Nespresso machine does not make it a good room - room was too small compared to its huge 4-post bed canopy, much like Al Bundy's large clients who insisted on wearing small-sized shoes (reference to Married With Children show). Just because you put it there does not mean it fits, and therefore it looks obnoxious. Not worth the stay.
