Great place! Great location! Great service! Great price for such great location and charm! Very comfortable room! Service was very welcoming and hospitality was incredible! Treated our dog like a real guest even! Loved the daily breakfast basket delivered to our door each morning! The room was clean and didn't even smell like a dog had ever stayed there before,... More

The Monte Verde Inn is located just off Ocean Avenue where it is nice and quiet, but close walking distance to shops and restaurants. I felt a little like I was camping while staying here. When we checked in to Room 7 it was late afternoon and very hot in the room with the sun pouring in. We opened windows... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking a moment to leave a review. Each of our rooms are of different size and floor plans. Some rooms have claw foot tubs and marble showers, others with showers only, but all with unique European style furnishings and decor, premium bedding, lots of pillows, and imported bath amenities. Some rooms are larger, some with... More

I have to give a mixed review. The Inn did somethings very well, but definitely needs updating elsewhere. First off, the innkeepers that we encountered were very nice and welcoming. We booked last minute and they were able to accommodate us. We stayed in Room 9. We arrived to find oranges and brownies at check-in. Our room faced a cute... More

I just wanted to share with others that I have stayed at the Monte Verde Inn on several occasions and for the money (specials) it is one of the best B & B's in Carmel. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and housekeeping does a great job. The manager(s) of the facility are very friendly and make every effort to... More

My wife attempted to book a two night mid-week stay in February 2012 as a surprise birthday get away for me. When she first called and booked a room we were called back and switched to a different room when she was told the first choice was actually not available. We were offered the two nights in the second room... More

As with any event, there are always two sides to a story. We would like to share our facts of this reviewer’s “creative” allegations. Admittedly our new front desk agent when making the reservation for an upgraded room category for this guest did not recalculate the new room rate correctly. Upon review of the reservation by a manager (not owner),... More

Well, we were'nt expecting alot. The room smelled of Febreze, but we had a balcony with a view of the ocean in Room 7. That, coupled with being doggie friendly, was the good part. The breakfast basket is delivered with a loud rap on the door around 8:30am. Tropicana OJ with fruit and yogurt, and some mediocre pastry. In-room coffee... More

Dear Guest, Ouch! The low rating you provided our property certainly doesn’t match the overwhelmingly good comments left by other guests. This leaves us a bit concerned that we did not meet your expectations. While we do appreciate all reviews, we would like to respond to your comments so that others get a true perspective. Most guests would fully appreciate... More

Just spent 3 nights at the monte verde during the Christmas week. We were traveling with 2 very large dogs. We had room 7 which is on the 2nd floor with a partial ocean view. The room is very small but it has a balcony. The combination of the balcony and the nice weather saved us because we were able... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased to hear that you found our breakfast basket to be "above average" as we try very hard to provide top quality products such as: fresh locally made pastries, a variety of fresh seasonal fruit, quality yogurt and natural juices for our guests. This healthy breakfast option was never intended... More

Believe it or not this place is better than many luxury hotels we have had the opportunity to stay at over the years. Doug and Kristina are friendly, warm, and welcoming.
