Nestled among the Santa Lucia Mountains, Hidden Valley Inn is just 5 minutes walk to Carmel Valley Village where guests can explore many wine tasting rooms, boutique shops, and fine restaurants offering al fresco style dining. Free guest parking is provided on site.

Everything was great! Clear instructions for check in were given (we came afterhours). Location is super relaxed, sad we could not use swimming pool in March. Staff was extremely nice, providing us coffee and some freshly baked pasteries. Lovely place indeed.

    This is a bit inland from the Bay Area but not too far - only about 20 mins of a very pleasant drive. Hotel is very pretty - log cabin style with pretty gardens. The pool was wonderful for cooling down after the heat of the morning. Room was spacious and clean. Staff were absolutely lovely, recommending where we could go out for dinner and so on. Altogether a very enjoyable one night stop - over on our way down the coast. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

    Amazing stay. Great staff - so helpful and kind. Great location - only 20 mins in car to Carmel by the Sea and a short walk into the Valley. Lovely pool and scenery around the inn and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, really clean and the beds are super comfortable! A great base for driving Big Sur also.

    The heater in our first room did not work and upon calling the manager we were quickly relocated. The bedroom area was fine and updated. The pool area was lovely. The location is at the corner of where the downtown area ends and a residential neighborhood, so quiet and easy to walk to dinner, shopping, etc.

    We had a great experience at this hotel. The employees were very friendly and helpful. Property has been recently renovated and was told that they are still making more improvements. Super clean. Pastries and coffee for breakfast were delicious. Restaurants within a mile from the hotel, we had dinner at the Trailside Cafe and had life music. Will visit again in the Spring.

    The Hidden Valley Inn is in a beautiful spot. The grounds are lovely and each room looks out onto a courtyard area with beautiful plantings and a pool. Each room has a little covered patio—it’s just lovely. Our room was clean and well appointed.
