Nice modern hotel and very friendly staff. The walk to the main mile was very short, the beach is a leisurely 15-20 minute walk. We had the suite with 2 bedrooms and felt very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and also different every day. The pizza in the evening by the fire was also very tasty. We were very satisfied.

It’s quite considerate that hotel did inform us of the construction noise in the morning, while actually we are not bothered by the noise at all. Didn’t hear a little bit!

Carmel by the sea is a lovely town full of restaurants and shopping places. The characteristic of Carmel is that at night time there are no street lights, lights comes from the restaurants and the stores open till late. It is a very charming town , must see it. The beach close by is beautiful and it was 20 minutes walking from our hotel

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.

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 :)

We loved the excellent location in the heart of Carmel, close to many great restaurants and boutique shops. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with very comfortable beds and a cozy sitting area by the fireplace. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We also really enjoyed the happy hour with local wine and a selection of tasty snacks – a lovely extra!

Great location. Perfectly pleasant hotel, with a slight 1970s "motel" vibe about it. A good, economical place to stay in the very bougie town of Carmel. A 10-minute downhill walk to the beach.
