Tradewinds Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Our girls trip to Carmel was great and the Tradewinds was such a nice property for us! From the zen atmosphere, to the beautiful robes, very comfy beds and the wonderful choices for our breakfast basket delivered to our doorstep. All lovely additions that made our stay memorable and comfortable."

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Close to everything."

Carmel Green Lantern Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Pet-friendly Redwood cottage. Comes with an electric fireplace. An additional bed upstairs. Spacious. Close to the beach- pleasant walk. Parking is good- get there early. Walk to eateries and the beach."

Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, clean rooms, comfortable mattresses and overall nice"

Carmel Inn And Suites

8/10 Good

"Good location. Clean room. Free parking. I enjoyed my stay."

Hofsas House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is charmingly European. But everything shows age, furniture, furnishings, lamps, bathroom, bedspread. The WiFi is spotty, which gave me the much needed break to go unplugged for a few days. The room has a small fridge, coffee machine and a powerful hair dryer. Its heated pool is a nice touch. They offer continental breakfast, but we never got up in time for it. Location is fantastic, walking distance to lots of great restaurants, bars, art galleries and shops. Overall, everything is just about right for its price point, if not slightly above expectations. I look forward to coming back again."

Hotel Carmel

8/10 Good

"Only bad thing was that I was informed that breakfast was included and during checkout, after consuming my breakfast, they changed their tune, and charged me over $40 for breakfast (a yogurt and a coffee), with no leniency or care about what I had been informed previously. They claim was that due to it being booked my third party (Expedia), then breakfast was not included."

La Playa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great boutique hotel in Carmel. Close to the main areas in Carmel. Great customer service. Lovely comfortable rooms while not huge are beautiful furnished. Great free extras provided from early morning coffee, a delicious buffet breakfast with egg station, afternoon wine and not forgetting the wonderful chocolate chip cookies in the evening. A real treat."
