Nice little place

The hotel is conveniently located in downtown and is a clean quiet place. The staff was very personable and helpful. The breakfast was very good. Loved the warm croissants. The room was small, a bit dated, and the bathrooms needed updating. Parking was inadequate, so one had to park on the street if arrival was late.

Two thumbs up

The highlight is the very attentive staff. They are very helpful, cheerful, eager to assist in any way they can. This is an older property that is very well maintained, and has clearly been updated recently. Happy hour sangria and a healthy breakfast round out the positives.

I loved this place! The staff was amazing, the rooms were very chic and cute and the bed was SO comfortable. We had the patio fireplace king bed room and it was perfect for our babymoon. We went here to escape the fires with our dog and it ended up being the most magical trip. I will definitely be back and can’t wait until then!

A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

This was a great location to celebrate my mom's 82nd bday. As soon as she opened the room she immediately said.. "oh, this is a beautiful room! Take advantage to wine down with the wine and cheese moment and definitely enjoy breakfast! The jacuzzi was wonderful to enjoy a last discussion on what the days experiences entailed. I would definitely come back again! The location was PERFECT

This was our first visit to Hotel Carmel and it was a wonderful experience. The lobby staff, especially Anne, were inviting and helpful. We enjoyed the homey feel and it felt more like a B&B rather than a hotel. We will definitely be back!

It's a great option in Carmel!

My husband and I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The location is great. We walked to the many food and shopping options. Also, it was a nice walk to the beach. The staff was very nice and helpful. The free breakfast was great!

Housekeeping kept knocking on our door when it was not even time to check out yet. Our room doesnt even have a “Do not disturb” sign. And even if we dont have the “Do not disturb sign, they should not be bothering like that until check out time which is 12 noon. Heater is too old it makes loud sound.

Hotel cute and quaint. Limited parking spaces. Great pub restaurant below hotel good food. Room cozy. TV service did not work properly. Service quite bad with house keeping. Last day Xmas Called for late checkout regulars check out 12:00 They gave until 12:30. At 10:30 cleaning maid knocked on the door to do room. We said no need and placed a do not disturb written note on the door handle from there after every 15min cleaning maid came knocking until 12:00. We ended up checking out at 12 as required. Was a very unpleasant experience.
