I fell in love with a town called Carmel. I'm sure it's because of this hotel. It was a perfect experience. Next time, I will come with my whole family.

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.

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

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!

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.

Beautifully decorated hotel right in the heart of Carmel. The staff on the front desk were very attentive and greeted us with sparkling wine on arrival. The rooms were comfortable and tastefully designed. We had a lovely nights sleep, despite the noise from the road outside. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast but nice to have it on offer.
