Preferred Carmel hotels

"We chose this hotel for its location and were not disappointed. It is very close to point lobos, downtown Carmel, and 17 mile drive. The views were really spectacular. We wanted a pool--so staying in a cute little inn in downtown Carmel or something wasn't really for us. So this hotel checked those boxes. I typically really love Hyatts as well, but this one probably has seen better days. Few things to note: -Staff was super kind and friendly. Very willing to help. -We stayed in an ocean view room and had free parking. The free part was amazing--we actually couldn't believe it. The parking lot, however, was really stressful. About 5 spots and VERY tight. It was always a challenge getting in and out. -Pool was nice--but pretty small (and deep!). I think there were only like 8 chairs or something and that made it kind of stressful/awkward when people were hovering or clearly didn't have a place to sit. -Towels were out frequently and they were pretty worn towels to begin with. -Our room was pretty small--bathroom was pretty small. Balcony was cool, but pretty small with pretty hard furniture. Not the most comfortable. -In general...relatively loud. We heard our neighbors a lot. We had to be those people one time and call the desk to report some dance party or something that was happening upstairs. Our walls were literally shaking with the bass. It was crazy. It is a big, kind of sprawling "resort" so it is a little tricky knowing how to navigate everything. "

"The staff were great, the location is great, the facility is well kept. I didn’t like that there was no AC and I wish I knew before booking. "

"Great place! Large room great breakfast in the morning we were situated on the second floor right above the pond. It was fabulous."

"Love the location, breakfast quality, staff was very helpful "

"We loved the location, the fact that there are no rooms under or above us, the perfect placement of closet, bed and bathroom. So quiet - the wonderful sound of the ocean waves lulling us to sleep. Thoughtful touches everywhere. Room service is swift and food is prepared perfectly we will return! "

"Lovely, well appointed room with all the essentials. Loved the 2nd floor with outside seating to enjoy a morning coffee. All staff were very welcoming and helpful. Perfect breakfast each morning."

"The property needs an upgrade. Parking is very limited and there was no one on site to ask for help and no one picked up on the phone number they gave. I would not recommend and I would not stay here again. "

"Everything was great, besides the fact that they had no AC. It was warm and we couldn't sleep comfortably due to it. "
