Carmel Valley is a great contrast to Carmel by the Sea. I enjoyed visiting both, but was very glad to stay at Blue Sky Lodge for its vintage, rustic charm. Very old school hotel/motel, but has a nice pool and hot tub. Very friendly family has been running it for multiple generations, and they have the true California charm. Rooms also have a private sitting area with privacy fences. Surrounding restaurants, Toast and Rustica, we're also good.\r
