Review of BERNARDUS LODGE

Definitely nice rooms. 3, count 'em, 3 fireplaces in the room. The walk-in shower was larger than an entire average hotel room in Paris. No complaints about the room at all. The property itself is just OK, particularly the spa. The men's steam room had a very strong odor of, well, mold, or something not great. The energy of the place was very low...kind of a walking dead type atmosphere. The worst part was the confusion when we were checking out. We had a $400 gift certificate (that put a dent in our $560 room) that we had redeemed when we booked the room, but our bill didn't show the credit. When we inquired, they seemed very perplexed. We had to stand around for about 15 minutes (like chumps) while they figured out their mistake. Not a great way to end a super spend-y day in Carmel Valley. Your mileage may vary. Cheers.
