Contenta Inn

Its an old motel noting special except area around it, its hills all around you and very green.

Great location! Walking distance to all wine tasting rooms and restaurants within Carmel Valley Village. Plenty of parking, great pool and hot tub on the property, and very quiet in the evening. This is our go-to spot when we visit Carmel Valley.

Booked a stay for 3 nights. On the first night, the wifi was not working. Day 2, the WiFi still wasn’t working and the pool was closed due to chemicals. Additionally, no one was on staff or in the office, and when we called the number for service, we were routed to another hotel location in Carmel-by-the Sea.

Adorable room and fantastic grounds. A hidden gem for sure!

The accessible room was under construction so they gave us the next best thing. The sink/counter in BR was really low (& I'm short). The pool is not heated and the hot tub was not turned on. The inn ia dated and the room is musty smelling. Staff was responsive. Complimentary pastries in the AM is delicious! Overall, it wasn’t bad for its price in this area.

went for a wedding. best part of our weekend was hanging at the contenta with family and friends. great food and watering holes a walk away. weather was awesome and carmel valley a beautiful place. staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. we'll definitely be back

Carmel Valley is beautiful. Our stay made the discovery easy and comfortable. The staff at contenta inn went out of their way to help.

If this motel had been $100 a night I would have given it 3 stars but considering it was more than $350 a night (after a group discount) I struggle to give it 2 stars. I expect luxury for that price - and there is nothing luxurious about the Contenta Inn. The only reason they can charge these rates is the location - and as we were going to Carmel Valley for a wedding our options were limited. The rooms are basic to say the least. The Inn is clearly very old and although attempts have been made to renovate it still felt very dated. Think highway motel from the 1960’s and you have it. Our room had small things wrong like a ceiling fan missing and a hole in the ceiling where it should have been, a light bulb out (which was fixed) and horrible lumpy pillows. But worse than that was appalling WiFi, no breakfast included and a front desk that wasn’t manned all day - so when we did have an issue around 1pm there was no-one to help resolve it. The outdoor area is ok - pool, hot tub and some games such as ping pong and corn holes - no complaints there. For a basic motel it would have been fine but when you are paying top dollar it needs to be better.

It suited our purposes. It was very reasonable, and the bed was comfortable. It was a warm day, and the remote required to work the air conditioner was a problem requiring staff assistance. Dining and wine tasting were within walking distance.
