Just outside the town of Carmel, on the edge of Highway 1, the Highway Inn opened in 1936! A bit unique, clean and tidy!

I highly recommend Carmel River Inn over any motel or hotel. I spent four nights with my parents, age 86 and 90, and we enjoyed the beautiful flowers and shady trees surrounding the inn and cabins. There’s a lovely little garden path at one end. The cabins and gardens are laid out in a loop like a small, well-designed neighborhood. We stayed in a cabin with two comfy queen beds and wet bar/kitchenette, which included a small fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker with complimentary coffee and tea, sink, plates, bowls and utensils. Very clean and comfortable. It looks like a few cabins are ADA accessible. Ours had four steps to the front door, which my parents were able to climb. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Cute, convenient little older motel that was clean and lovingly maintained. Super easy to access off Highway 1 without being affected by traffic noise. Our room in the main building backed to a peaceful sitting area with adirondack chairs overlooking the Carmel River (more like a creek in the summer). Friengly staff and we enjoyed the pool. We rode bikes but for most it would be a short 5 minutes from downtown Carmel by car.

Very clean and comfortable, quaint place! The cottages were very nice. Miriam was fantastic and got us all taken care of, as well as giving us a great restaurant recommendation. We will definitely be back to stay at the Carmel River Inn and Cottages!

Pros: I like the staffs very nice and accommodating, I also like that it was very close to nature and the sounds of crickets and bugs at night it was so calming,their location is also strategic it’s near point lobos Cons: they don’t have microwave in their inn which is kind of standard and also no ac. At night it can be a little warm but it gets cold we just opened the door at the balcony they have a screened door which allows fresh air. the price for their inn could have been a little lower for their amenities. We paid like 580?for 2nights

The venue was very nice, clean, staff was friendly, I couldn't complain. Very quiet, we stood on the second floor. The Inn is near HWY 1 so you can hear car traffic but was not bad. There was 3 adults and a child in our group, if you can spend the extra money, staying in the cabins would give you more room. We would stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Carmel River Inn Cottages. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the everyday hustle. The cottages have so much charm, cozy, clean, and thoughtfully decorated with that quintessential Carmel vibe. The private patios and gardens made it feel like our own little sanctuary. Staff were incredibly warm and helpful, and the location is ideal. Just a quick drive to downtown Carmel and the beach. We woke up to birdsong and went to bed with the stars overhead. If you’re looking for something authentic, relaxing, and full of character, skip the chain hotels and stay here. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful cottage which was a great base camp for exploring Carmel and Big Sur for 4 days. Staff was superb, helpful in every way. Accommodations were spacious, quiet and clean, with a very comfy king bed, sitting patio, and a fireplace (which we needed on foggy mornings!) We will stay here again!
