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.

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!

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.

    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.

    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.

    the location was great, both when it came to shopping (food and other things) or restaurants. you have to walk a bit to the beach, but it's not a problem, it's just uphill backwards. The Carmel Plaza with stores and restaurants is a good 5-minute walk away. The hotel is simple and clean, we just had queen size beds, there wasn't too much space in the bed. The breakfast basket is ok if you only need a little in the morning. The free parking in the courtyard is very practical. All in all a great hotel.
