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.

    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.

    Very nice little hotel in the middle of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Very nicely decorated and furnished. The location is perfect - just about 10-15 mins’ drive from Monterey’s attractions. The 17-mile Drive is a short drive away as well. Less than 10 mins drive away heading south is the Point Lobos State Natural Reserve where you can do easy hikes overlooking the California coast. Parking at the hotel is very convenient as the lots are just outside the rooms. There are restaurants and markets within walking distance as well.

    We eloped in Carmel and chose this hotel as our base, we are so happy with our decision! The location is perfect, it has a really nice vibe and we managed to get free parking at the Sunset parking lot nearby. Have to mention Miley who was working the morning of our wedding, she is a star and really made us feel at ease and even arranged for a bottle of beautiful sparkling Rose to be put in our room. This lady is gold and is everything you want to make for a happy stay :)

    Close to the centre of Carmel and walkable to the main restaurant area, but it is up a hill and it might be a trial for some people. The walk from the beach is tough. Carmel looks flat on a map, but it’s quite hilly. Hotel has parking and after we spent on a room upgrade we were happy with our room. Rooms have microwave. They bring you a breakfast basket in the morning with juice, fruit and pastries which they varied from day to day, which was nice.

    Considering how expensive Carmel is, I thought this was a great value place. The bed was really comfy, water pressure was great too. Best part was that the room had a smart TV with Hulu included too! The hotel owners were very kind and friendly, making it extra special for us on our post engagement trip. Breakfast was fresh cooked for us too! Also was walking distance to good restaurants - would recommend Jeju and Edwin’s in Carmel!
