Top Carmel Beach Hotel Reviews

Hofsas House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this place! I was trying to decide how close to Ocean Avenue I wanted to be and this was the perfect location! I could walk to everything but wasn't right in the middle of all the bustle. The hotel was very clean and so cute! The whole place was surrounded by huge hydrangea plants and I could see the ocean from room. My only complaint was that our bathroom did not have any hooks to hang our towels, but we just draped them over the shower door so it was fine. Overall, this place added to the magic of Carmel-by-the-Sea!"

Tradewinds Carmel

8/10 Good

"The room and property was clean. We stayed here about 10 years ago, it has definitely aged and has wear and tear since then. Carpet was loose and bunched up in my room. Also fire alarm was beeping constantly. Breakfast was just okay, I would have preferred to eat in a dining area instead of the bedroom"

Cypress Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The property is so charming. The perfect place to relax and unwind. The courtyard is beautiful and cozy and Terrys is wonderful. We hope to make it back."

Stilwell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Included breakfast in the outdoor space was very nice. Limited dinner option with wood fired pizzas was also very convenient that we enjoyed one of our nights at the hotel. Great walkable location to experience Carmel."

Pine Inn

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent. Right in the middle of downtown Carmel and easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately they didn’t have air conditioning and we happened to be there on a hot weekend. To be fair most hotels and stores in Carmel don’t have air conditioning. The rooms need to be refurbished and upgraded for the price. They do have a private parking lot but it’s first come first served."

Carmel Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and quaint hotel in Carmel. Very peaceful. Close to the Ocean and downtown area. Can't wait to come again"

Normandy Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loves our stay here it was very cozy and clean. The staff was amazing will definitely stay there again."

Hotel Carmel
