Everything was great, the room was excellent, towels lovely and soft, bed large and firm, super clean and well appointed. The continental breakfast was provided in a nice basket to the door and I really enjoyed it on the outdoor patio, eggs, pastry, fruit and juice. Close to downtown Carmel, a mile from the sea. There was a cheese and wine from 4-6 which was very pleasant again I ate it on the patio. Nice fire pit and heaters etc, hot tub but I didn’t use it but looked hot and clean. everywhere was super clean and well maintained. Honestly, a perfect one night stay for me but would have been happy to stay longer.

    Very beautiful and quaint but painfully overpriced as a whole. You can’t get a scoop of ice cream for less than $10. Only go if money is not an object at all. Expect to spend $50+/person for every meal.

    Very pretty location with lots of boutique shops and variety of restaurants serving great food. Carmel beach is very beautiful but not for swimming in the sea due to the strong undercurrents. We stayed 1 night which was about right for us as we saw all we wanted to see. If travelling from Monterey, definitely do the 17 mile drive, It was stunning!

    A beautiful but expensive city.

    A beautiful but expensive city. The vibe is wine tasting, jewelry, art, designer clothing and restaurants with a beach nearby. The quality is good everywhere, with some exceptional locations. If you're looking for more than shopping and dining in a quiet, beautiful area, you may want to look elsewhere.

    Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula provide one of California's most impressive gems. The natural beauty of the coast is unique, abundant and memorable. But be forewarned: Once upon a time, Carmel-by-the-Sea was the very picture of "rustic." That charm has morphed into what my partner has described, regarding downtown, as "an amusement park for Silicon Valley brahmins." If you don't know what that means, just be prepared for a show of excessive wealth and commerce, and bring lots of bucks.

    Carmel is one of my favorite places to visit.

    Carmel is one of my favorite places to visit. It has many things to offer. The natural beauty of the environment is a dog-friendly environment. The beach is a beautiful place to watch the sunset, but I recommend you bring a jacket. Wonderful dining spots to get a bite to eat and then take a walk around the area to burn off the calories.

    The room was very large (with two double beds) although we only used one and there were recycling bins in the room too (we are keen to recycle). There was a nice view over the putting green and the car park was close to the room. The hotel was a short drive away from Carmel which is lovely. The breakfast was very good and the swimming pool was a nice temperature and size.
