Contenta Inn, hotel in Carmel Valley

Featuring free WiFi, a hot tub and a heated outdoor pool, Contenta Inn offers accommodation in Carmel Valley, 20 km from Monterey. Free private parking is available on site. All rooms have a TV.

I really liked that there is a separate exit to the patio, which has a hot water jacuzzi and a swimming pool. The Jacuzzi was hot even at 2 am which made us very happy. There were also many sun loungers on which you can lie down and sunbathe. The room was very clean and there were enough towels, a working coffee machine and a huge very comfortable bed and a lot of pillows. Cozy room, we really liked it.

    It was such a magical place full of restaurants, wineries, and cute cafes. I especially enjoyed the community vibe there. The community park, the history center and the library were nice surprises. It was neat to learn a bit of history about the village. My kid loved it too.

    Beautiful weather and location - reasonable distance from SF for a nice getaway. Wish we could have organized a horseback riding trip or something but couldn't get my act together... need to reserve several days in advance.

    We mostly drove up here to see Big Sur but ended up spending some time in Carmel Valley. We were only here for one morning so we grabbed some coffee and breakfast from Cafe Luna (which was great) and we took the 17 mile drive scenic drive along the coast and made all the stops along the way. They give you a pamphlet upon entering the park, which costs $10.50. It was worth it!

    Carmel Valley is a lovely, picturesque town from which it is easy to get to Monterey and Carmel by the Sea. There are lovely hiking trails nearby. We especially enjoyed the Garland Ranch Park just down the road which has many trails of all levels of difficulty (walking and biking). There are numerous restaurants in Carmel Valley and the three we tried were all excellent (Cafe Rustica, Thai Village, Trailside Cafe). Great coffee and pastries at the Wild Goose Cafe too. BTW the picture for Carmel Valley is a bit misleading as it shows the coast on the Monterey Peninsula which is 17 miles away but easily accessible.

    Everything is so easy to access. Lots of good casual restaurants and services. The one outstanding shop that caught our attention was Qual & Olive that has a tremendous selection of California olive oils, vinegars and gifts.

    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!

    We went for the weekend of July 4th for some peace and quiet and to escape the fireworks. It was perfect for that. Every room faces the pool so there is noise from kids playing in the pool but that’s why families would come to a place like Contenta. It was family friendly and very pet friendly. Every room had a little patio with chairs and a table to relax with coffee or a glass of wine.

    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.

    This is a beautiful little hotel in a fabulous location. Our room was big and had everything we needed. We would love to have stayed longer but we were only travelling through this area. The staff are really lovely. I didn’t use the pool as I had a cold but the others in my group did. The fire pits in the eve are a great place to relax and unwind.

    property charges me multiple times after check out. Also charging the full amount on two occasions, after admitting they were incorrect the first time. if you claim to be a luxury resort there shouldn’t be problems like this. get it right the first time
