The best and the most exceptional breakfast…didn’t expect the kind of food being served. I like the quiet location, walkable distance to many restaurants and shops and even along Ocean Ave all the way to the beach. The staff were friendly. Hotel room was very clean, a lot of available parking spaces.

This place has a great location, just a couple small blocks from Ocean Ave, which is the main road and likely the one you care most about. It's right next to a gas station, which is important because this location has nothing to drink and no snacks. The price was great and I found the room to be decent and comfortable (even if the bed was a bit stiff, I slept just fine). The room has an electric heater disguised as a fireplace (shame on you), but I'm not even that mad because the little heater is very powerful. The door has a simple key mechanism, which I appreciate, as I am very tired of electric locks that don't work at other places.

    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.

    Very expensive and hard to navigate in the area. But that ocean view is spectacular. The local architecture is beautiful and the downtown area is charming. Very hard to park and don't visit if you are counting your pennies.
