Hidden Valley Inn

Peaceful, Well laid out and nicely Apointed room, Great location

Nothing comes to mind

Rooms are comfortable, had a nice little patio with a table and a couple chairs that looked onto the courtyard. The pool are was nice. Staff was great and the donuts and coffee in the mornings were a really nice touch. Only about a 5-10 minute walk into town. The only thing that wasn't ideal was the size of the shower but not a dealbreaker at all and good value for the price. I'd definitely stay here again!

Shower size

This is a lovely place to stay. Our room was a great size and exceptionally clean. We were surprised at how quiet it was at night. The grounds are very well kept and pretty. The Inn is quite a way from Carmel but the drive is nice. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We loved everything.

It was clean. Backyard lounge and pool area were nice. Cute back porch deck right off room in pool area.

Slight wear and tear of room interior, i.e. cracked tiles on bathroom floor as well as flaws in tub/shower area. (Perception is dirty tub/shower when in reality it’s worn areas. Shower head did not work properly, as the handle didn’t work to control water flow. Cold water hit my body because I was unaware of the dysfunctional shower mechanism. Additionally the shower curtain was blowing into my body while showering. There is NO curved shower rod to keep curtain from hitting your body! The “breakfast” of coffee and donuts was a joke! Poor value perceived with not a decent “free” breakfast available AND price paid! Out of multiple hotel stays on this current extended trip, other than Disney hotel property, this was the worst overall, BUT highest price paid. Would only stay here in the future as an ultimate last choice. Room cost should have been $150-$175, NOT $249! Look for other hotel choice before staying here. Was a 12 mile drive from downtown Carmel by the Sea. As I used the late check/in procedure and it was dark, the numbering on the units is POOR, as I had to get out of the car to observe the correct room number. This likely isn’t a problem during the day!
