Hotels in Carmel

Lovely place! Flowers along the walkways and outside the rooms in flower pots all beautiful well tended. Very clean. Very nice staff. Breakfast included with coffee tea etc. eggs and bacon. Cereal, bagels and pastries.  Parking included and near rooms. Good water pressure. Fireplace in my room. POD coffee maker in room. Refrigerator also in room. Vending and ice machine near room. I would stay here...

Lovely Carmel views. Clean and comfortable room. Early checkin upon request. Staff was professional and friendly. The site was well maintained with lots of blooming flowering plants.

Carmel is a beautiful town and the hotel is in the town centre, so the location is perfect. Room was a little dated, but reasonably clean. On the night we arrived to check in, staff was super friendly and helpful. He gave us detailed instructions regarding our room and parking, also local restaurants recommendations. His service was a 5 star! On the morning of departure, we vacated the room and checked...

Cleanliness: The cleanliness was a bit lacking, with ants and spiders still present near the room door. Environment: Some floors offer access to small gardens, providing a casual and relaxing ambiance. Service: The front desk staff were eager to help resolve customer issues, showing patience and genuine warmth when welcoming guests. Facilities: The facilities are somewhat dated.

Room was very dated and there was a strange smell. Very clean though and tea/coffee machine in the room. Free hot drinks at reception too. Some noise from the room above and outside our room too. The place was central to everything and there’s a pool on site. We went for breakfast at 9am and lots of stuff had run out and not replenished. We asked if there was more bread but were told no!

A surprisingly good motel! Make sure to book a room with a balcony; it's very cozy and clean. This motel, being right in town, is a world apart from those you find on the highway. The front desk staff were very welcoming, and even said goodnight in Chinese – a really nice personal touch! 👍

First off I was told like I was gonna get a garden view room. It was a room looking at the street. We paid over $600 for this room. I know it’s a nice hotel but don’t tell me a garden view and look in the street at the same thing. This I wanna make perfectly clear they charge me $200 for amenities that I thought were free and no one told us as we checked into the hotel that this is a charge for...

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the La Playa Hotel. Hospitality was excellent and all the staff was very friendly. The room and amenities were great. You can't beat the location. It's just a few minutes from the beach and the main shopping area in Carmel. We appreciated the amenities that were offered on top, like a private driver bringing you to and picking you up from your dinner reservation...

Lovely hotel with a lot of charm. We had an ocean-facing room, and I loved the decor. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast spread was excellent and one of the best we've had at a hotel. The service was also top-notch. I deducted a star for the room's shower, which smelled musty and was a distraction from the otherwise perfect experience.

the stay and hospitality are amazing. Great staff and location. Breakfast made to order. Speakeasy bar. a true Gem.

Our stay was beautiful! The hotel is stunning, with a friendly and attentive staff, eager to make your stay a happy one. The buffet breakfast with omelette and waffle station was fabulous. The hotel is an historical building so the rooms and bathrooms maintain the original footprint and size, which prohibited any enlargement of the very small bathroom. But given all the other perks La Playa offers...

Property is quite nice good location and good bones. Restaurant is nice. Food was great. Service at restaurant was great. Front Desk did not honor my reservation. Said it did not exist and was very difficult. Said call ******* and figure it out. Had to really escalate to just even stay there.

The location was excellent in down-town Carmel. The staff was friendly and efficient and made our stay very memorable. We will definitely stay here again.

The location, staff & breakfast were all perfect! We stayed just for one night and it was perfect. They also had wine & snacks out in the evening which was very nice too. Only thing I would agree with other guests about is the shower could definitely use some cleaning & upkeep but overall the hotel is very charming.

Better attention to details - free fresh water in the room and shower gel! Our toilet seat was broken and so was one of the lamps. TV volume didn’t work and the walls are wafer thin.

The hotel staff was very accommodating even after the power went out for a few days. They had lanterns and lights for everyone and they were so friendly. The fresh breakfast was amazing.

Great Carmel hotel. Spotless! Friendly and welcoming. Like the robes and fireplace.continental breakfast was very good.

Another delightful stat at Hotel Carmel. The perfect walkable location to enjoy downtown Carmel.

Great spot in Carmel near all the shopping and highlights. Office leaves at night so you're on your own. Room is a bit below standard, but it's ok. For the proximity of the place with the shops, its ok. Fireplace and heating didn't work but the evening wasn't that cold.

A wonderful and peaceful place to stay. Clean fresh rooms, very comfortable and warm in winter.Updated and I love the touch lamps.

We had a great stay at Wayfarer Inn! The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, which made the experience feel easy from start to finish. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the common areas were thoughtfully designed and inviting. Overall, it was an incredible value for the quality and atmosphere. I would happily stay here again.

I feel like the photos don’t do this place justice! I was pleasantly surprised by how cozy and spacious the room was. The king bed was very comfortable, there’s a good amount of surfaces and closet space to store your belongings, and I was surprised to discover a door to another room of two twin beds! Had more space than I needed. The fireplace is a cool touch. I honestly forgot there was even a partial...

It is a great location, but parking is limited at this hotel ! Be aware! And it can be loud when people are outside in front of the rooms since the tables and chairs are right in front of the rooms for people to hang out ! Not the best setup ! Thanks

I recently stayed at this hotel and had an incredible experience! When I arrived, I was greeted by a Panchel and attentive staff who made check-in a breeze. You are so lucky to have him. The level of service throughout my stay was exceptional—whether it was the housekeeping team, the concierge, or the restaurant staff, everyone went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and well taken care of...

Great place but no air conditioning yet maybe after the rest model in November 17

Pros. New bathrooms, nice linens, helpful staff, great location Cons. Limited parking, threadbare rooms, limited breakfast. ( but great coffee)

Highlights: 1. Excellent location: a short walk from the beach and in the midst of restaurants, bars, beautiful boutiques and stores. 2. Decent rate: compared to other hotels/inns around Carmel-by-the-sea, Village Inn had very decent rate and included all facilities - 24-hour reception, complimentary breakfast, parking (limited) on-site, full bathroom and huge room. 3. 17-mile drive: starts a short...

This hotel is easy to find just off the main street and minutes from the highway. The anticipated weather forecast was rain so we weren't worried to much about the location as long as it was in Carmel. The hotel is easy walking distance to everything (stores and restaurants) and a very short walk to the beach. The room was small with a firm king size bed. The bathroom was updated and fresh/clean. There...

Clean, large rooms aren't anything fancy -location is the best feature of this hotel. Parking is a hassle in Carmel, so it was nice to simply park the car and walk around - breakfast was meh.

Clean rooms, very nice staff. I recommend it!

Very clean and quaint.The delivery of a continental breakfast was a welcome surprise

The room was fine. It had been remodeled since we last stayed there. It was a bit noisy--garbage collection early in the morning and next unit over was noisy. The breakfast was adequate.

The room was very clean and updated. The staff were excellent, I didn't have any issues but enjoyed talking to them.

Great walkable location. The breakfast brought to your door was a nice benefit.

Great location for people who love to walk around town! Plenty of dining options nearby. We found the bed to be very comfortable and the sheets were super soft. Although the food was just a basket of prepackaged items with some milk for the cereal and apples, it was appreciated and held us over until we could get ready for the day and head out. The people we met who run the Inn are kind and concerned...

Basket breakfast was nice. Toilet flushed very loudly. Could hear flushing from other rooms.

Great location is the USP. It's an old place but maintained well. Not very convenient if you have seniors with knee issues. Limited choice of breakfast. No kitchen / restaurant. We stayed in a 2BR suite with oceanview. It's their largest suite and it had a kitchenette with burners, microwave, mini fridge n few utensils. Other rooms don't have kitchenette. Our room had gas fireplace too.

My +1 and I spent a few days in Carmel, and decided to stay at the Colonial Terrace. In short, the grounds are beautiful, the room was cozy, and the staff was very accommodating. The location is only one street up from the beach, and a 5-10 minute walk to downtown. There is a pretty good hill you have to walk up if you take Ocean Avenue, but we thought being closer to the water was worth it. We decided...

Excellent location, great breakfast delivered to our room every morning. Property grounds are beautiful and staff is very helpful and nice. We are a family of 3 stayed 4 days in unit 26 overlooking the ocean. It was a very spacious suite. We will be back.

Great location one block from the ocean. The front desk has chairs and towels you can borrow for the beach which great. Lots of cute outdoor seating and a fireplace which was cool. Staff was very nice. Our room (queen courtyard view) could use an update but was good value for the price.

If you stay here in late Nov, walk down to the beach about 5:40 pm and catch the sunset. And grab a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie from the lobby on your way down.

You can order a picnic basket to go at the front desk!

The room was above the garage, and carrying luggage up required climbing a long flight of stairs, which was a bit inconvenient. The room facilities were fairly complete; it had two bedrooms, a living room, and a spare cot, enough for five people. Service was practically nonexistent; after checking in and getting the key, I never saw the host again.

We booked a two-bedroom suite, which is the whole 2nd floor. The suite was very quiet, so we had excellent sleep. Parking in the area is understandably tight, but our suite had a dedicated parking spot, which was very convenient for us. Overall, it was very good experience for us for a one-night stay in Carmel by the Sea.

I loved this place, feel like a fantasy film very beautiful, all the facilities, I’ll be back this is fact 100% thanks

The room is just as is pictured. It's small, but we used it just for sleeping. It's The in a pretty good location, which is a bonus. The room was clean, but it does smell a bit old. The parking spots are pretty tight, but others have mentioned that already.

This was my 2nd stay at Briarwood Inn and I cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Carmel.There were 4 of us in the penthouse for a girls trip. We loved having 2 rooms with big beds as well as 2 bathrooms! Having the living room to hang out in was perfect. We loved having an assigned parking space, so you always know you have a spot. The location is absolutely perfect! So quiet, and walking distance...

I liked it here! Our room was very spacious, and we booked one that had parking. It's an older property, but has its own charm. We didn't have any problems with noise.

Wonderful visit! The staff was so helpful and friendly! We arrived and were given treats for our dog, plus for the kids. Parking was no problem. The room was perfect for what we needed and had a lot of space. Two bedrooms plus a living room with a fold out couch. Huge soaker tub! Close enough so you can walk a few blocks to town and also to the beach (20 minute walk). Breakfast was plenty of food...

Jackie was terrific and helpful in getting checked in and help with a loud furnace. The breakfast and snacks were a surprise and much better than the standard muffins and coffee. We enjoyed our stay and will be back again.

We have stayed at Carmel Country Inn at least 5 times over the past few years. Amy and her staff are wonderful. They are so friendly and provide a great environment. We bring our dog along and he loves it there too. They really do cater to pets and their owners. The rooms are very clean and comfortable; we get the King Suite with the fireplace in the living room. There is a nice variety...

Wonderfully positioned cottage-like inn that is tucked away from the busier, yet quaint, part of downtown Carmel. The staff was friendly, the breakfast was simple but good, and the location just a couple blocks away from shops, wine tastings, and restaurants. We loved our time spent there.

This place was amazing! The staff were phenomenal. The rooms were phenomenal and the location is superb. It was great to have our own parking spot along with the free breakfast and snacks throughout the day! They were extremely knowledgeable on activities and things to do around the area.

What a charming, quaint gem in the heart of Carmel. My husband and I stayed two nights and it was a perfect spot. Our room was spacious and had a lovely fireplace which made it all the more cozy. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and offered cookies and snacks. The helpful and thoughtful service continued through our stay. When we wanted to head to the beach, we were provided with beach towels...
