Carmel accommodations

Hello fellow travelers.
Headed to Carmel this weekend for a wedding and need place to stay for
one night. Want to keep it to $150 or less. Any recommendations? I
remember going this time last year and there were many places to
choose from for good rates but I just did an internet search and
doesn't look that way. Advice from locals and veterans very welcome!
Thanks in advance

One night on weekends is always tricky. I've had some luck with
the folks at resort2me.com so you could try them.

Try staying in Monterey instead. Lots of motels off the freeway. We
stayed at a place south of Carmel for less than $100. But if you must
stay in town, be prepared to pay.

Stay in Seaside instead. Check sidestep.com. Lots of places under $150.

Try Pacific Grove, 10 minutes, Monterey, 15 minutes, Carmel Valley, 10
minutes. Seaside and Marina 20 minutes. Seaside and Marina are probably
the cheapest.

Clarification, please. There is nothing I know south of the Carmel river
less than $100 until you hit the Hearst Castle/San Simeon area. There is a
number of places greater than $100, including Highlands Inn (
http://tinyurl.com/53hfl4 ) and the Tickle Pink inn (
http://www.ticklepinkinn.com/ ) . I wait to be enlightened.

Hmm, definitely time for me to pay a visit to the optometrist. I
initially read that subject line as "Camel accommodations," and was
going to suggest just leaving good old Humphrey at a boarding stable
rather than taking your chances on finding a camel-friendly motel.

Peter -

Glad you are still around. Well, Priceline is like a broker, is it not? A
discount broker? I mean Priceline does not own the place where you stayed
for less than $100, does it? Priceline does not manage the place where you
stayed, does it? So where is this mysterious place south of Carmel where
you stayed for less than $100 such that you mention it unnamed here on this
newsgroup? Why the reluctance to divulge this information? What exactly is
the name of this establishment south of Carmel where you say you stayed for
less than $100?

Went to Priceline - cheapest place listed is (two star) Best Western
Carmel's Town House Lodge for $109 in Carmel itself.
http://tinyurl.com/5s8mhy Nothing - repeat nothing - listed under $100
south of the Carmel River, which is the Carmel Highlands area. In fact,
nothing at all listed under $100 in the Carmel-Carmel Valley area.
http://tinyurl.com/5e3cd2

Went to "Name Your Own Price" part of Priceline. No Carmel-Carmel Valley -
only Marina-Seaside and Monterey-Pacific Grove can be selected.

hmmm...are you sure you used Priceline? Or are you just tossing us a red
herring?
