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!

This is a lovely old hotel with a homely feel. The pool looked good but the weather wasn’t great so we didn’t get to use it. The location is excellent, right in the middle of lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants. We visited the Hogs Breath which has a buzzy, fun atmosphere.

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.

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.

Close to the centre of Carmel and walkable to the main restaurant area, but it is up a hill and it might be a trial for some people. The walk from the beach is tough. Carmel looks flat on a map, but it’s quite hilly. Hotel has parking and after we spent on a room upgrade we were happy with our room. Rooms have microwave. They bring you a breakfast basket in the morning with juice, fruit and pastries which they varied from day to day, which was nice.

This is a haven, a wonderful retreat away from the centre of Carmel (but easy to walk and runs a shuttle if needed) and close to the beautiful beach. It offers wonderful rooms with everything you need and more -- wine tasting in the afternoon (free!), cookies baked daily, a delicious breakfast bar with an incredible array of healthy offerings and stunning views/gardens. Very friendly and polite staff.

The hotel was in a very good location, near to the center of Carmel and also a short walk to the beach. As we were on a driving holiday, our unit also had parking. Price was good for the area. Staff at the front desk were very helpful and before we arrived, we requested crockery and cutlery were put in our room which they organised.
