Had a terrific stay. Staff was friendly, helpful. Room was charming, spotless and comfortable. Felt spacious enough for three of us. Grounds were beautiful. Enjoyed the fitness room and our round of golf. Will definitely come back.

Only suggestions are golf related. Check in at the hotel is at 3 and the range closes at 4. By the time we got settled and down there we only had 10 minutes to practice. That was a bummer. It should really be open until dusk. Secondly we teed off and had not one but THREE maintenance tractors following us through hole 4. It was extraordinarily loud, distracting and frustrating. I actually had to ask them to leave as it was ruining our peaceful round of golf. Could definitely understand one hole but four was too much. It was not very thoughtful for the players.

We went for our anniversary trip and had a lovely time. Quail Lodge location is great for getting to so many places quickly. Our room was comfy cozy with a very comfortable bed. Unfortunately, the weather was not in our favor but we def made the best of it. Loved the smores at the firepit that they provide and the 9 hole putt putt was fun.

We liked it all but the front desk staff was lacking experience. At check out they did not give us the $50 credit each day for breakfasts. My husband did the checking out and he didn't know we booked the hotel through Travelzoo with the breakfast. I saw that our bill was too high from the quoted price we were given online so I had to go back and get them to refigure our bill.
Lucky I checked the receipt!
Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

The front desk staff were kind and friendly. We loved the window seat in the room. There is plenty of restful stuff to do here: a free 9-hole putting green for families, a serene lake to look at, plenty of walking paths with lovely views. They have the nicest fitness rooms I've ever seen.

Great weekend in Carmel. Quail lodge was very nice. So many nice touches. The room was large with robes & slippers & plenty of storage. We used the hotels electric bikes and enjoyed them. The wine hour was nice. We really enjoyed the breakfasts we had at the hotel too. Staff was nice. The pool area looked really nice although we didn’t use but my husband enjoyed the sauna. Would definitely stay again. This was a great deal on travelzoo.

I don't like writing negative reviews but there were issues with the staff. Checking in took 20 minutes even though the manager was busy chatting with me and there was only 1 person ahead of me...not sure why he couldn't check me in. Breakfast was nice and most of the restaurant staff was exceptional but there was a bus person who was absolutely rude to me - she took away from husband's meal when he left for the restroom, the next day she nearly hit me in the face with my meal. The 2nd night there was a child screaming in the room above us before we went to bed & we let that go as the noise had calmed down by the time we went to bed but started up again around 5:30 am. The 3rd day we were awakened by bloodcurdling screams from the child for over an hour. We called the front desk and they said they would address it. After it was clear they were not going to address it, I called again and they asked us to move rooms in the middle of the night. They made it pretty clear that they were not happy we had called. Finally someone from the hotel addressed the issue and the child stopped. We were then called and told they would provide some accommodation to us. In the morning when we finished breakfast, we asked to talk with the hotel manager. We were told the manager had stepped out for a few minutes. We finished packing and about 30 minutes later went to the front desk for our final bill and to talk with the manager who still was not available. Jennifer arrived and said she was the assistant manager. I explained the situation from the past 2 evenings, she made it pretty clear as did the other front desk person that we were not being very sensitive about the parents of the screaming child. She grudgingly provided a $200 credit and rudely told me she would mark our account as people who should not have a room near anyone else. They basically made us feel like we were the issue for complaining about very obnoxious guests. Also, room was only cleaned one day even though we were out of the room almost 4 hours on the 2nd day. We never received a call from the hotel manager. While we can understand the difficulty with a child throwing a tantrum. We would have expected the parents to have consoled the child and/or taken them out of the room for a walk or a drive to calm them down. If the child was sick, then take them to the hospital but don't expect other hotel guests to endure such inappropriate behavior. Also, the fact that as soon as someone from the hotel arrived at their door, the issue subsided.

Great experience overall, however want to give feedback on SERVICE.
Sunday nights, onsite restaurant/limited menu closes at 9p. We were eating outside and ordered food, drinks, etc and was never told after 9p that the kitchen was closing. The server never asked us if we wanted dessert, etc. My young daughters were very disappointed. Then I asked for a glass of wine at 9:05p, and our server/bartender said that the bar was closed too. Wow! Not ok for the amount of money we were spending! The bar should stay open/available for anyone who still is seated and eating!
My spaghetti bolognese was served with penne pasta - was not communicated to me. It was $28 and tasted like something I could have received from Olive Garden. Way overpriced for the quality. My daughter's Steak Frites was below average - came out warm and quality not good for the price either.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. Although the resort was full, you couldn’t tell because the resort was spread out. It was so quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the on site activities such as the 9 hole putting green that wrapped around through the resort among the rooms and bungalows, featuring natural grass. The electric assist bikes were easy to check out and made it fun to explore the area. Loved having a private patio at our bungalow, and a fire pit just outside of the patio. What a restful way to enjoy and celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!

Overall a very nice hotel with modern-feeling rooms and relaxing grounds. We had a balcony overlooking the central pond, which was very peaceful. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was very spacious with a shower and a tub. There were a few minor issues with the room, though. The AC system was loud when it started up, and in order to maintain a temperature, it seemed to start up and stop pretty frequently. Wi-fi was fairly slow (generally <20 Mbps, often <15). Electrical sockets were the old kind that are pretty loose -- if you use two-prong plugs, expect them to fall out pretty easily. The toilet was constantly running at a low level.
It was too chilly to try the pool, but my wife and daughter used the fitness center and found it to be comprehensive, with well-maintained machines. There are a few outdoor firepits that are lit in the evening, and you can get s'mores kits from the front desk, which is fun. We didn't try the putting course.
Really enjoyed the daily wine hour -- high quality wine! We also appreciated the $50 daily breakfast credit from Travelzoo, but the hotel was really unclear on their breakfast options. The website and the info on the hotel TV described a Breakfast Basket that could be delivered to the room, and the front desk initially said it was an option as well, but later we learned from another front desk agent that it was no longer available.
There are two Blink EV chargers on the premises, but one of them was broken (which only became apparent after initiating a charge session, so I still got charged an initiation fee of $0.49 -- had to wrangle with Blink support to get that reversed).
There's a cute shopping center right next door, with an excellent Mexican restaurant (Baja Cantina) if you don't want to eat at the hotel's restaurant.

Lovely grounds. Complimentary upgrade at check in to larger room with patio and view of the golf course, water features and mountains. Hotel staff was welcoming and honored the travelzoo discount perfectly. Breakfast was more than you could eat with your credit and was delicious with healthy options and great serice. Went to Edgars at the golf course for dinner, staff drove us in the golf cart. Live music was excellent and the happy hour was just beginning to wind down in the bar. The staff was very attentive to the patrons offering bar nuts and drink refills efficiently. The property is quiet and it is just a few miles from downtown, so nice to come back to after a day in town. Robes and slippers in your room. Pool and gym areas were clean. Across the street from the lodge is a little shopping center and we tried the mexican restaurant which had great bean dip; rosemary chicken quesadillas and good margaritas. We also tried the water bikes at the Elkorn Slough about 30 minutes away and were delighted with all the sealife. Seals, jellyfish and so much more visible. Highly recommend.

The Quail was an ideal place for us to get away for a couple of days. The grounds were neat with fire pits scattered throughout which made for cozy fireside chats in the cool evening. We got upgraded to a king room with a wonderful view overlooking the putting green. The place was tranquil and peaceful. Dining at the Covey Grill was a wonderful experience. By chance we were able to try their 3-course prix fixe meal only available on Wed nights, the day we checked in. The meals were prepared and presented perfectly. The staff was nice and friendly and even the chef came out to chat with the diners about their dining experience. Highly recommend the Quail for a getaway.
