We enjoyed the spa and fire pit outdoors , refillable water station was handy. Location is amazing - walking distance to all nice restaurants. Room is beautiful and overall it was a great last stop of our 3 weeks US trip! Special thanks to the lady at reception on Saturday 23/09 (sorry didn’t note the name). When we asked about early check out process the next day, she took care of our breakfast even though we didn’t specifically ask for it but she wanted to make sure we are not hungry before our early morning road trip to San Francisco :) All the cleaning ladies were very friendly as well, always smiling

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.

Lovely hotel in great location in Carmel. Very comfortable beds, friendly staff, spacious rooms, and ample parking spaces. We personally loved the free cookies and hot drinks at the hotel reception - a real highlight of our stay! Also enjoyed the bath robes. Hotel is about 12 minutes walk from the beach - some slight uphill on your way back up afterwards, but good exercise! Recommend getting a sandwich from Bruno's Deli counter for a less expensive but delicious meal while staying in Carmel

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.
