Unbelievable staff, beautiful hire and amazing food. All of the restaurant staff we interacted were so good. We love coming back to the hotel. It is such a special place

We came here super excited to be going on our first getaway with our 3 month old. While the staff is genuinely friendly and the dining options are a high point, Carmel Valley Ranch significantly underdelivers on the premium experience it markets, particularly for families. The Cons: Frustrating Logistics: The check-in process is unclear, and the main parking lot/valet area is a zoo. Not as Family-Friendly as described: Despite being advertised as stroller-friendly, navigating the property with one is a massive hassle. There’s nowhere to walk a stroller at the top really, the main rooms are on a very steep slope and the path down to the actual good places to walk is either on a road with cars or a dirt path. Worse, requests for advertised family amenities—like a diaper pail— were never delivered on. Lacking Maintenance & Cleanliness: For the price point, the housekeeping and upkeep are unacceptable. The room had dirty floors, cobwebs in the corners, and visible scuffs and marks. I almost tripped over an exposed outlet that was covered in aluminum foil?? Overall just really dated and damaged facilities. The attached photos are only a small sampling. Poor Sleep Quality: The bed and pillows were highly uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a decent night's rest. The Pros: Service & Dining: The saving grace of the property is its people, who are universally nice and welcoming. The on-site restaurants also serve excellent food. Overall Verdict: I used a mix of points and cash with the Chase Edit to stay here and this was still the most overpriced hotel stay of my life. If I paid full price I would have been livid.
