Carmel CA lodging
We're headed to Northern California for 2 weeks in September for a mix of family visit on the peninsula, nature (Yosemite), and quiet get away for 2.
Looking for hotel/inn recommendations in Carmel for a few week nights when we arrive.
Desired budget is around $300/night, but can do up to $400.
Any suggestions from our Northern California Fodors experts?

I would bet the Carriage House is full -- but it does depend on your specific dates. It is a very popular property - and it is a busy time.
September is when Californians go to the coast because we know that is the best weather of the year.
You could try plugging your dates into Booking.com and see what is available

Thanks for the reco's - yes, midweek, not weekend.
We are ok with either right downtown Carmel, or outside of town at a nice property such as nearby Carmel Highlands or Valley.
I'd say preference would be in downtown Carmel to be able to just enjoy the presence, and come and go as we please without having to drive anywhere.
Don't need a luxury resort with spa & activities - we tend to make those arrangements ourselves.

Reporting back..
We stayed at La Playa, 8th & El Camino and loved it.
It's an older hotel, but fresh & up to date. Ocean views and sounds out our window were perfect.
Delicious breakfast in the morning. Sunset views from the patio while sipping a glass of local wine each evening.
5 block walk into town for shopping for food, less than that to the beach.
