Perfect Spot for a Chill Weekend

This small re-imaged motel was perfectly located for a chill weekend visit to Carmel Valley. Right in the heart of the village...plenty of outdoor chairs to enjoy a cuppa coffee or glass of wine, and a small pool to relax by. Priced right, too. Would stay here again in an instant.

It is small but clean, with a nice pool. The gardening is nice and gives each of the room an outside area with some privacy. Check in and out was easy and efficient.

Amazing in every way!

What an amazing place right in th Carmel Valley village! Easy access to so many restaurants and wine tasting rooms. I loved all the beautiful paths and parks to walk with our dog as well. The motel itself is quaint, upgraded and comfortable. The staff are so nice and accommodating. It doesn’t get better than this! Thanks for everything!

Lovely, quaint motel in the heart of Carmel Valley

This very sweet motel is smack dab in the middle of Carmel Valley close to restaurants and wine tasting rooms. It is extremely convenient, safe, and comfortable. The staff go above and beyond to try to make your stay as wonderful as possible. They are very generous with Keurig pods, water, and little things that are nice to have in a motel like wine opener and cheese knife. Don't hesitate to stay in this truly lovely motel.

This quaint little inn was just what I was looking for in Carmel Valley. It was cute, clean and was close to all the places that I visited during my stay. The price was reasonable mostly because of the lack of amenities that you would find in the more expensive hotels and resorts in the area. But if you are okay with the boutique hotel concept and do not need a restaurant on site, room service, a wine bar or valet parking, it is a nice, quiet place to stay!

Corola the property manager was amazing. The power had gone out in the area right before we got there, she was going to get us lanterns but it came back on so we called and let her know. Unfortunately the power only stayed on for 15 mins and then went back out the rest of the night. We disnt want to bother Corola to come out with the hope the power would come back on. Overall the property is very nice and bed was comfortable. Will need to visit again so we can really enjoy it more with power next time :). Corola was really amazing and refunded our night which really went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience. Appreciate her and will be back in the future.

Was not able to turn on the hair dryer. And the soap dispenser in the shower only dispensed 2 squirts on the first day. None after that. For we elderly people, perhaps handrails for safety in the shower would be beneficial

Hello from Texas. We had the opportunity to visit Carmel Valley on July 26, 2023, and we noticed the Little European Lodge downtown. It was within walking distance to everything we were interested in seeing. The owners of the property are very kind and generous, and made us feel very welcomed. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! The room was perfect for us. We felt very safe in this community. So much so, we slept with the door to the room open to allow the cool air to enter. We just locked the screen door. Plus, the lodge has plenty of security cameras. We loved our stay. Thanks Again! - Greg and Adela

Property owners are friendly. TV did not work whatsoever. No one in office to help. Grounds are run down and unkempt. Room has no central air and was uncomfortably hot. This is a flea-bag motel, but located in an ideal spot in Carmel Valley.

Quirky and Convenient

The property is quirky more than it is European. The sheets are softer than almost anything I've ever laid on, wow! The towels are fluffy and thirsty too. They put the little things in the room, fridge, microwave, WATER, knife, corkscrew, coffee maker, coffee and tea, cups, plates, knives, spoons and forks. Our hostess was kind and not terribly intrusive, just everywhere all the time minding the property as you'd expect. A short walk or drive to lots of wineries and places to eat. But this is Northern California, so there's no "budget" option, however, you eat so well, you don't really mind. Prices are high, but quality is too! Overall three stars (mnore like 3.75, if I could give it) because it is more like a roadside motel than a "European Lodge" but that's okay once you get past the name. Enjoy this little space for a long weekend or just pass through.
