Cozy Hotel
The hotel was so cute and centrally located. My husband and I were able to walk to the restaurants, shops and beach. They also offered a nice continental breakfast.

This was our first visit to Hotel Carmel and it was a wonderful experience. The lobby staff, especially Anne, were inviting and helpful. We enjoyed the homey feel and it felt more like a B&B rather than a hotel. We will definitely be back!

It's a great option in Carmel!
My husband and I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The location is great. We walked to the many food and shopping options. Also, it was a nice walk to the beach. The staff was very nice and helpful. The free breakfast was great!

I loved this place! The staff was amazing, the rooms were very chic and cute and the bed was SO comfortable. We had the patio fireplace king bed room and it was perfect for our babymoon. We went here to escape the fires with our dog and it ended up being the most magical trip. I will definitely be back and can’t wait until then!

Location is good and available parking. Nice staff . Rooms are dated, particularly bathroom.
Dolf, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice little place
The hotel is conveniently located in downtown and is a clean quiet place. The staff was very personable and helpful. The breakfast was very good. Loved the warm croissants. The room was small, a bit dated, and the bathrooms needed updating. Parking was inadequate, so one had to park on the street if arrival was late.
Daniel, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Two thumbs up
The highlight is the very attentive staff. They are very helpful, cheerful, eager to assist in any way they can. This is an older property that is very well maintained, and has clearly been updated recently. Happy hour sangria and a healthy breakfast round out the positives.

Great location and very quaint hotel.
Ronald, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall I really liked staying here. I read reviews about how the walls are paper thin and its really loud and I was worried. The walls were really thin and I could literally hear everything from neighbors, but it was not a big problem for me cause they all became quite after 10pm. I had my earplugs for sleep. I guess it really helped. Welcome cookies, wine, and the breakfasts were good. I'd stay here again if I visit carmel by the sea. Its a lovely town and everywhere is ultra pet friendly.
