Loveliest stay in Carmel !

From the picture we see of the facade I was expecting a little rundown building, but not at all! It is beyond charming!! And yet very well maintained for a historic building. Everything looks fresh and glamorous inside. The rooms are lovely, cozy, and clean! The bathrooms are first class. Our family was staying in two rooms. We were greeted by a very professional and kind staff. Katya checked us in and offered us a lovely welcome drink. In-room breakfasts were fabulous! Those health shots! Staying in lAuberge and the Aubergine restaurant experience was the perfect birthday treat!

Not much I didnt like. I would prefer an electric kettle to make tea rather than the (even first class) espresso machine.

Very good

Lovely stay but think it could have been more ...Relais Chateaux

L'Auberge Carmel is a very nice hotel. The bathroom has the most marvelous heated tile floor in front of the sink. With Carmel having fairly consistent 50-60's weather, that heated floor was wonderful when barefoot. The location was fantastic as well. We tried all 3 of the breakfast offerings -- healthy Chia seed pudding & juice shot, Avocado toast, and petit dejuner. All were very good. I liked the healthy breakfast the best and the Avocado toast the least.

The staff assistance at the front desk was spotty on what I would call "extras" - help with dinner reservations upon arrival and follow up by the Concierge prior to arrival to secure reservations each night. For the former, it was a matter of the person not knowing how the restaurant they recommended did their dinner service or whether they even had bar /place to wait for a table. Not only were they wrong, but they did not bother calling ahead for us to see if there was availability. We got to the restaurant prepared to wait, but the restaurant had no tables available, no hope for a table, and no ability to wait in the establishment. When I called back to the front desk asking for help to find a place likely to have a table I had to become insistent that they help call around, not just give us a name they think would have a table. This type of experience also bleeds into the exchange with the Concierge before arriving. We got 1 great reservation set up (La Balena!) but struggled the other night. I did delay in responding and asking if there were times/dates that matched our desires, but when I did respond prior to arrival I never heard from the Concierge, even during our stay. Just odd. I am also beginning to think that Concierge in the US is not the same as in Europe so my expectations could be completely off. I have had some absolutely fabulous experiences and help from Concierge services in Europe.

Just visit the restaurant dont stay at the hotel

Staff are great

Walls are paper thin so if you are looking to relax or sleep I would select another hotel. You have noise coming from every direction. You can hear every step, shower and conversation of room above you and every word of people sitting in garden/courtyard plus the restaurant plays loud music till about 11pm.

Understated luxury and comfort, with the surprise of a world-class bartender.

Breakfast was first rate and beautifully served/delivered to the room

Can't even formulate a complaint!

Poor

This is not a hotel. Its a restaurant with some over priced, noisy rooms on the side.

Clean, good location, free valet parking

Very very noisy rooms. We specifically requested a room not on the ground floor and not adjacent to the restaurant which is exactly what they gave us despite agreeing in advance not to. Impossible to sleep in the room due to noise. No compensation/compromise provided. No air conditioning. Front desk staff generally rude and unwelcoming. Zero hotel facilities. Lost original restaurant reservation. Impossible to recommend anyone to stay here.
