Some sad news outta Carmel. The Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley will close its hotel operations on November 16.Last week, owner Neil Galloway announced the closure of the hotel side of the golf resort, citing that even though the company heavily invested in the hotel and "we've worked hard" the Quail Lodge has had a net loss every single year for the past eight years.
Even in 2007, a record year for the hospitality industry, the Quail Lodge still lost money. For that reason, hotel operations will be shut down and the closure is expected to be permanent. Since the hotel is part of a golf resort and club, Galloway says that side will still remain open to the 300+ members and that they will continue to service events, but reductions in some services will also be made.
While the hotel never seemed to be a money-maker, a tipster says the competition may have been the final straw that broke the camel's...er hotel's back. The Carmel Valley Ranch will be getting renovations to the tune of $25 million from its new owners.
Despite having been around since the 1960s, the Quail Lodge just couldn't up with. Needless to say there are rooms open through November 16 starting at about $475 for a junior garden suite.
