We stayed at this hotel for our son's wedding at the Bernardaus. We had 4 of the 18 rooms. I just wish more family and friends would have stayed at this same location. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Plenty of space throughout the property for our group to gather and relax and spend time together. The Innkeeper, Ben was generous and genuinely warm, going out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed including special greetings from Trooper the property dog made it even more homey. It was a wonderful experience and we're so grateful to have had such a welcoming place to stay during such a special time.

bathrooms were dated

The room was clean, I always wipe counters and disinfect myself when I stay at places because you just never know. I did not get any dirt from cleaning the counter tops and such. Bedsheets looked recently cleaned so very happy about that because there are places out there that have a reputation of not cleaning like they should. The room was pretty big and there was so much storage.

Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the room because I did not get a bathroom with a bathtub. I had specifically picked the room online because it was a stay for me and my husband to relax and celebrate our anniversary. I got switched after I mentioned that, and they still gave me a room without a bathtub. However, it turned out to be a better room from the first one because it had a small kitchen. They also do not provide hand soap, and I believe that would make it a bit better. It's the small things that can make a difference.

We like the overall experience at Contenta: it feels like a small, semi-rustic resort as much as it does a mid-century modern upgraded motel. Many of the renovations done a couple of years ago are tastefully done. The breakfast choices-- though limited-- are high quality, with pastries of a standard one might expect in France (and I'm in France as often as twice a year). The manager, Miranda, is also a gem: she always finds a way to be especially helpful. The location-- with views of surrounding hills, walking distance to restaurants in the heart of Carmel Valley, is ideal.

The wifi in the units is not the best. The bathrooms, though upgraded a bit, still feel like 1980s. The beds are quite high and the mattresses soft.

Easy to call and ask for earlier check in to accommodate a wedding I was attending. Also called to get a scary bug out of my room. So helpful!! Clean cute room. Has an Airbnb hotel vibe to it- kind of mid century modern. Old school locks on the door so don't lose the key! Cute outdoor private patio. Easy walk to the hot tub and pool. Gorgeous green mountains in the background. Easy and free parking right in front of my door. Mini fridge to chill my beers. Not to mention the location! Walking distance to so many great wineries and eateries. Cafe Rustica and Cowgirl Winery are my favorite.

The lady who runs the inn was very friendly and helpful. This was an accidental discovery of a lovely location out in the country with plenty of wine tasting venues and good food nearby. The dark sky at night was great for stargazing and it was a convenient drive to Big Sur. we booked two rooms at the last minute due to a change in travel plans and the newly redecorated rooms are well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed the stay.

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.

One small nuance: there was no breakfast, but they explained to us that this was due to the fact that there were few clients that day.

What was once a run-down motel has now become a charming mid-century modern design/boutique resort. The setting is idyllic and ideal: walking distance to half a dozen excellent restaurants and unique shops. Sure -- the bathrooms are old and funky, but that -- and a few other quirks -- are all that is keeping this place from become hip and trendy and costing $600/night. Very dog friendly, too. Great pastries and good morning coffee. Great manager. We love it.

Internet a little slow and unreliable. Bathrooms are still mostly 1960s motel era.

The room was spacious and clean.

They have a little card in the room that tells about contenta inn. Wish his card had the timings of when the office would be open and that they provide coffee and croissants etc. We’d arrive after dark and didn’t get to check the board outside the office and didn’t know they would be closed at a particular time the following day and even missed our free coffee.

I enjoyed a small terrace which was unexpected. Lovely pool and outlook and amazing parking. For once a quiet and efficient A/C. Still the cheap coffee & cups is s shame. Super fast check in. A very warm welcome from the manager/owner and a super housekeeper with long black hair who helped me with my bag as I had a walking stick. Super comfy bed and pillows. TIP - Bring a small traveler kettle, milk, sugar, a mug or cup and tea/coffee. (Fridge in room. Glasses if drinking wine.)

Very quiet and attractive property. Room was very clean and comfortable - not luxurious. It had everything one needs. The breakfast room was very pleasant and relaxing.

Breakfast - No herbal tea, no gluten free options, a few pastries and that was it. The coffee was good. Also, there should be tea bags and creamer in the bedrooms with the coffee station.
