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!

This hotel is just lovely. Unfortunately, the walls, at least in the 2 story bungalow we were in, seemed very thin, and the people upstairs walking around, walking up the stairs (not even loudly, but you could hear every step echoing into our room, and listening to their TV kept us up until 1 am, and then we couldn't sleep until 3. I'm not usually going to complain about sound issues, but for a hotel of this caliber, it's not acceptable that I could literally hear what the TV actors were saying. For hours. So although the hotel itself is a dream, sleeping there, for us, was a nightmare, and we can't recommend it to others based on our experience.

We found the room noisy as the building is old and easy to hear the music from the restaurant and people talking near the room. Otherwise a pleasant stay and very helpful service providers.

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.

A gem in Carmel-by-the-Sea

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.

Expected more

There was a long narrow flight of stairs to my nicely furnished room. My complaint is with the vanity area of the bathroom. It made it very difficult to get ready. A 5 star hotel with the cheapest hairdryer they could find? It was a $12.99 Conair (I checked Conair’s website). Besides that, it was hard to put makeup on as the lighting was dim and you couldn’t get close to the mirror. I’d suggest putting up a magnified, lighted swing arm mirror and invest in a better quality hairdryer.
