Great location. Property is closed to everything. We checked in and we asked for a place to have dinner. The gentlemen at the front desk gave us a few choices and suggested happy hour at ______. We parked our car and we walked to the restaurant. Cocktails on the roof top and dinner in the dining room. Food was excellent, highly recommend the Cioppino. Our room was clean and inviting for a restful night. Bed was comfortable and bathroom shower was spacious and clean. It even had a small refrigerator, and a coffee machine in the room, which we used. We also enjoyed continental breakfast in the lobby, or bring to your room. Great place.

Wonderful staff. Our plane from San Francisco could not land safely that evening in Monterey airport because of thick fog so the plane returned to San Francisco and we ended up renting a van with other passengers and drove to Carmel. We arrived late at midnight at the hotel. To show sympathy to all this hassle we went through, the receptionist (I forgot her name) kindly upgraded our room to one with a balcony where you have a nice ocean view. She also left us specific instructions on how to enter our room as the front desk was already close that evening but when we could not unlock the door, the on call guy came right away to help. The staff were also helpful in giving information about the town, where to go to find the beautiful scenery and how to get there. Breakfast was delicious and we liked it that they provide us with a tray so we can take our food to our room and eat while enjoying the nice ocean view.

The hotel is very well located but the property is very old and outdated. Also we were place in a room next to the office and we were traveling with a dog. So dog barked everytime someone walked by our window, which was all the time. I hope they can upgrade soon and make it more modern.

We had higher hopes for this hotel. The person who welcomed us was friendly. The bed was comfortable. We knew from reading other reviews that there is no elevator, but we were not prepared for the many stairs. The hotel needs repairs and renovations. The room was clean for an older hotel, but it could have been better. The roof is full of mold, which is ugly but also a health risk. There was junk piled up under the stairs. We went for our anniversary, and while we enjoyed Carmel, and always do, we did not enjoy our stay. If it can be renovated, it will be a great place.

Properties old and has not been remodeled in several decades. There are no elevators and four flights of stairs down to the parking lot so you wanna consider that if you stay here. Also, the furniture is sold and the walls are paper thin. I think it would be a good value if you paid $200 a night.

It was a wonderful stay. One of the best we’ve had in Carmel since our first stay in 2013. The room was excellent (we got upgraded to what was effectively a suite) with an amazing view of the ocean. We simply brought dinner back to the room just enjoy the view and the room. It was exactly the relaxing weekend we needed and wanted. I am so glad we stayed at Hofsas. Carrie at the front desk was exceptionally welcoming as well. Helpful staff all around too

The staff especially Carry were delightful. The room had a great view but was a bit cold feeling. Breakfast buffet would have been a bit better for me if there were protein options like a hard boil egg. January is a great time to get away to Carmel! No fog no people and more time for exploring!

Very clean room with great housemaid service each night! Good quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap available. Smaller sized breakfast with some good options. Very cute and aesthetic design of the building and architecture. Close to town center where you can walk everywhere downtown and explore! The front desk was so friendly as well!

Wow, where do i begin? First of all, if you have any mobilityvissues, this is not the place for you. Too many stairs and no elevator. Room furnishings looked like they were bought at a garage sale. Room had minimal amenities...no place to lay suitcases. Bathroom counter was taken up with a microwave. The \"continental breakfast\" was spartan at best and had to be carried back to the room where there was barely any space to sit down to eat. The place definitely needs a facelift. There's quaint and then there's old. This was not quaint.

The front staff person (Guadalupe) was sweet and very helpful. We first had a loud TV next door, kept on to keep the left-alone dog company. The TV sound was coming right through the adjoining door between the two units. Guadalupe moved us to a much more quiet room, and it was great. The ocean view is great. The room was very big (deluxe king), clean and comfortable.
Fools that we are, we came here during the height of school's-out tourist season. The kids at the pool were loud and obnoxious, but that's not the hotel's fault.
I also like that the hotel is far from the main part of town, which can get pretty crazy in summer.
High recommendation.

Great front desk staff, room quite large (2 queen beds, very comfortable), nicely decorated, continental breakfast = coffee, tea, hot chocolate, OJ, various pastries, yogurt, & fresh fruit. Never moved our car after arrival since the main street, Ocean Blvd, was 3-4 blocks away, & lots of unique shops & eateries all around, & Ocean goes straight down a slight hill to Carmel Beach. Had a great 2 nights. Definitely recommend staying here.
