It was a clean, new and super cozy little Hotel. The room was clean and had everything that was needed. Breakfast was okay but Carmel has a bunch of cute places to get a proper one, especially for those who are vegan. The location was close to the city center and just a 15min walk away from the beach. I would always come back!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    From the outside, it looks like your average motel, but the room was the cozier than any of the other hotels I visited in my three week trip. View on the Carmel River from the almost wall sized window, terrace with the same green view. Surely recommended!
