the location is great. A couple blocks from the Center and a couple of blocks from the beach. The room and bathroom were beautiful and the sea views are gorgeous. The garden offers a lot of places to sit and relax and the pool is heated. The shower had really good pressure. The breakfast in the morning is fantastic. Everything was very clean.

Delightful. Front office staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. We enjoyed complimentary wine, cheese and fruit in front of the outdoor fireplace. The room was warmed by a fireplace and the soft warm robes were a treat. A basket filled with breakfast items was plentiful. The bed was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Carmel by the Sea is a treasure!

Carmel by the Sea is a treasure! Just walking Ocean Avenue and looking in the shops is such fun. And by all means walk the length of the beach as the sand gets easier to walk if you walk toward the left. And of course see and enjoy the charming architecture with so many story book houses.

A lovely town full of bars/restaurants boutique shops and galleries. Very walkable if you happen to be young and fit. We really liked Hog’s Breath Inn either for dinner (which was delicious and faultless) or afternoon drinks at the bar and the service was fabulous.

This is a beautiful upmarket town, unspoiled by high rise buildings and bad planning decisions. This was the third time we had visited and it has never disappointed. Quaint houses and shops, clean streets and wonderful beaches. Plenty of on street parking and friendly people. A must visit if you are in Northern California, as is the 17 mile, picturesque, drive between Carmel and Monterey.

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!

Beautifully decorated hotel right in the heart of Carmel. The staff on the front desk were very attentive and greeted us with sparkling wine on arrival. The rooms were comfortable and tastefully designed. We had a lovely nights sleep, despite the noise from the road outside. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast but nice to have it on offer.
