Independent Carmel hotels

"Check in wasn't overly friendly, but job was done. No issues checking in. Short walk to the room, big and comfortable. No view to speak of, but can pay more to get a 3rd floor which may offer a view. Breakfast up on 3rd floor, which is only accessible by lift. No stair option apparently. Breakfast was a simple continental option. Which was sufficient. Check out was easy and friendly."

"We didn't use the pool."

"It was noisy between rooms at times "

"Amazing ocean view and lobby. Excellent, friendly and helpful staff, especially Diego. There are lots of stairs to get everywhere on property and it’s not super easy to lug your bags but it is worth it and they have a bellman if you can’t manage it yourself. Absolutely beautiful property! "

"Staff and very friendly and accommodating. Room and facilities very nice. "

"Great location to the main road which is about a five minute walk. Walking distance to the beach which is about 15 minutes. Dog friendly, quiet and nice staff. "

"The hospitality was phenomenal. We had a wonderful experience the room was super cute. It offered a complimentary rosé upon arrival then they had social hour with a complementary rosé with cheese and crackers or you could purchase beverages of your choice The breakfast had a lot of different options, along with a complementary mimosas coffee was phenomenal nice and strong They did have servers that would assist you during social hour and at breakfast However, when we did arrive, they were doing construction on the exterior wood beams near the stairs it was a bit noisy and dusty due to the sawdust, but they had limited working hours however,I think this should have been disclosed to guest prior to booking they were also limited parking and it was first come first serve But overall, I would definitely stay here again. The vibe was just phenomenal.close to downtown area "

"Staff was friendly and helpful. The outside seating lovely. Breakfast was great and if you don’t order a pizza and salad and sip some wine outside on that patio in front of the fire you have missed a lot"
