This is a lovely old hotel with a homely feel. The pool looked good but the weather wasn’t great so we didn’t get to use it. The location is excellent, right in the middle of lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants. We visited the Hogs Breath which has a buzzy, fun atmosphere.

Delightful. Front office staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. We enjoyed complimentary wine, cheese and fruit in front of the outdoor fireplace. The room was warmed by a fireplace and the soft warm robes were a treat. A basket filled with breakfast items was plentiful. The bed was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

A lovely town full of bars/restaurants boutique shops and galleries. Very walkable if you happen to be young and fit. We really liked Hog’s Breath Inn either for dinner (which was delicious and faultless) or afternoon drinks at the bar and the service was fabulous.

This is a beautiful upmarket town, unspoiled by high rise buildings and bad planning decisions. This was the third time we had visited and it has never disappointed. Quaint houses and shops, clean streets and wonderful beaches. Plenty of on street parking and friendly people. A must visit if you are in Northern California, as is the 17 mile, picturesque, drive between Carmel and Monterey.

Very beautiful and quaint but painfully overpriced as a whole. You can’t get a scoop of ice cream for less than $10. Only go if money is not an object at all. Expect to spend $50+/person for every meal.

Very pretty location with lots of boutique shops and variety of restaurants serving great food. Carmel beach is very beautiful but not for swimming in the sea due to the strong undercurrents. We stayed 1 night which was about right for us as we saw all we wanted to see. If travelling from Monterey, definitely do the 17 mile drive, It was stunning!

A beautiful but expensive city.

A beautiful but expensive city. The vibe is wine tasting, jewelry, art, designer clothing and restaurants with a beach nearby. The quality is good everywhere, with some exceptional locations. If you're looking for more than shopping and dining in a quiet, beautiful area, you may want to look elsewhere.

Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula provide one of California's most impressive gems. The natural beauty of the coast is unique, abundant and memorable. But be forewarned: Once upon a time, Carmel-by-the-Sea was the very picture of "rustic." That charm has morphed into what my partner has described, regarding downtown, as "an amusement park for Silicon Valley brahmins." If you don't know what that means, just be prepared for a show of excessive wealth and commerce, and bring lots of bucks.

Lovely hotel in great location in Carmel. Very comfortable beds, friendly staff, spacious rooms, and ample parking spaces. We personally loved the free cookies and hot drinks at the hotel reception - a real highlight of our stay! Also enjoyed the bath robes. Hotel is about 12 minutes walk from the beach - some slight uphill on your way back up afterwards, but good exercise! Recommend getting a sandwich from Bruno's Deli counter for a less expensive but delicious meal while staying in Carmel

Really well kept and clean hotel in Carmel. It has its specific style, but definitely well mantained and extremely clean. Traveled in November, thus didn't use the pool, but that's a nice touch. Location is just perfect, everything at walking distance. The only hotel found in the trip in the US with a nice heating sytem that isn't noisy and keep temperature always stable in the room.

The cottage is wonderful within its own private parking and a few minutes walk to the centre of Carmel by the Sea. The host was great with contact and information. We had everything we needed and were so happy we stayed an extra two nights. We didn’t want to leave. If you are visiting Carmel then this is the place to stay.
