Horizon Inn & Ocean View Lodge

The property is beautiful. It has that rare, authentic Carmel charm where you can feel the crisp coastal breeze from your patio, completely tucked away from the noise but still just a short, beautiful stroll from the heart of town.

Parking can be a bit tricky.

Great location, very easy to walk to Ocean Drive and the beach. The fire pit area is nice and parking was handy too

Stayed in room 111 and immediately noticed a very musty and unpleasant smell. The staff would not change our room - advising that the prior inhabitants had not complained about the smell - so we were offered a chemical neutraliser instead. We then had to move rooms for one night before moving back into that room as one of our party was pregnant and it wasn’t suitable for them to sleep in the room without adequate time to air out. Upon moving back to room 111 we noticed it is right next door to the house keeping office and can be very noisy.

My adult son and I traveled the coast highway from Los Angeles to Carmel this past weekend. We previously stayed here in 2021. We were not disappointed in our return. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is an easy walk to many excellent restaurants. A wonderful place to stay.

Loved the afternoon wine and cheese happy hour

I wasn’t fond of the breakfast basket delivered in the morning. I would rather have less items of high quality than more of “meh” quality. Use a local bakery in Carmel

Breakfast Basket was delightful ! Loved how spacious the rooms were and the location so we could walk to town was wonderful . Pool and Spa area with fire pit was very nice .

Very close to the ocean ave and Carmel Plaza. Hotel staff were helpful friendly and welcoming. We loved the fireplace, the room was big, and the fact there is parking was helpful.

We wish there were option to purchase drink / snacks, also we didn’t really like the breakfast baskets and the coffee.
