Not only was a beautiful decorated and comfortable room, but we loved how it had so many colorful flowers and plants. The coffee at the room was also delicious and the amenities were perfect. The fireplace in the bedroom was the cherry on the cake ❤️

The room is spacious, facilties are generous. The staff wire accomodating, although you have no one to contact after their closing time. There was a number we can ring to, but we did not get any answer from them either! The area is perfect. The restaurant is just a stonés throw away. The moon beach is just across.

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.

Such a lovely place! Room was charming with a huge, very comfortable bed and open fireplace (which we didnt use as it was July). Staff were extremely friendly. The Hogs Breath Inn - previously owned by Clint Eastwood is just a few buildings away and the location is super as long as you dont mind a walk up and down the hill to get to the beach. This is good as it forces you to go out and explore Carmel on foot, the best way.

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!
