The rooms were gorgeous and clean. They have a shuttle that will take you to downtown Carmel and the hotel is a 5 minute walk from the beach. Staff were friendly and readily available. We didn’t use much of the other amenities but they offer breakfast that they can bring to your room. They brought us cookies every evening and stripped the bed. The rooms had a coffee maker and an electric kettle. Plenty of towels and toilet paper. They have onsite parking but there weren’t too many spots that we saw. We never really had an issue finding parking but the lots were small.

Stayed here traveling highway 1 from Los Angeles. Stayed at Carmel beach hotel. We were offered breakfast at a cost but we decided to explore the local restaurants in the area. 5 min walk from the beach. Super clean. Room was excellent. Bathroom was beautiful. Over all great hotel to stay at. We didn’t use any amenities they offered just the parking on the property but the parking is first come first serve. Staff was great they keep the property clean and are very welcoming. They offered a shuttle to downtown Carmel but from a certain time. Over all great place to stay for a quiet relaxing place.

Property was amazing. A little tucked away hotel on the outskirts of Carmel with direct access to the beach.
We did have a little snafu with check-in staff we provided Hillary with our phone number and they were supposed to have texted us when our room was ready and they forgot. The one amazing aspect of this hotel is they do have a chauffeur driver that will take you into downtown and pick you up. No need to drive your car. Other than the snafu we had an amazing time.

Great location by the beach if you like walking to town (we do), clean room, nice little balcony with partially obstructed ocean views and sounds. Property is located in a residential area, is nicely landscaped and well maintained. We did not have a challenge parking our car because we left it in the space the entire time and walked everywhere. They do offer a car service but we did not use it. This is a boutique hotel, not a resort, so do not expect impressive service or amenities. We found it to be just what we were looking for.

Beautiful, clean room! They left fresh cookies everyday on our nightstand after cleaning our room. Free bikes to ride around. It is a bit of a walk to town, but super close to the beach - only a 5 minute walk. However, our one complaint was not enough parking for guests at hotel and the water pressure out of shower and sink was terrible! The bathroom was gorgeous though.

I was very disappointed with this stay. My room was located above or next to the hotel’s commercial kitchen, and I was woken up around 6:00 a.m. by loud operational noise. Staff later acknowledged they should have disclosed the room’s location before check-in, but they didn’t. Had I known, I would have requested a different room. The lack of transparency significantly impacted my stay and made it difficult to get adequate rest. I expected much better communication and guest consideration.

A beautiful property close to Carmel by the Sea beach. Room service breakfast was a very nice feature as it would have been time consuming to go into town in search of breakfast. Sunset on the beach was beautiful after a nice dinner in town made easier by a shuttle service into town. Very nice accommodations. I would definitely stay here again.

This was our first time visiting the hotel and we would definitely go back!
The place is immaculate everywhere. The staff was wonderful and friendly.
We love that it is small and quaint, great location.

The only 2 downsides were that 1.The parking wasn't great. It wasn't easy to find a spot at times, and 2. The shower water pressure wasn't good, but I believe that may
be a problem everywhere in Carmel.

Overall, I highly recommend!

Amazing room! We were overlooking the ocean & the room also had a 270 degree circular atrium! Made you want to just lounge in there & have everything brought to you. Lovely neighborhood & grounds, so close to the beach.
Very clean with lovely amenities including an elaborate snack tray & champagne for our anniversary. Staff is friendly & helpful. We have stayed in many inns, b&bs & hotels in the Carmel area over the years. This one is a keeper. We will be back in the fall for our birthdays.😊

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel has had a complete renovation since we stayed six years ago, The room we stayed in was roomy with a large bathroom. It’s close to the beach which is very handy and they provide a shuttle service to town that we used each night. Loved the fire pit, cookies delivered at our door in the afternoon, the beautiful grounds, Nespresso machine in the room. We will definitely be back!

Our room was spacious with a fireplace, hardwood floors, everything look updated and fresh. We have a nice bay window looking over the garden. We loved it! Our bed was so comfortable and the linens were high quality. The shuttle service to town was so incredible when we didn't want to walk. Close to the beach, fire pit and friendly staff. A+ GO AND STAY!!!

Beautiful place with a welcoming and helpful staff one block away from beach.
Our room was clean with many amenities such as a clothing steamer, bottled water, Nespresso small fridge and safe.
Great breakfast for purchase. Parking can be challenging. We will be back! The Uecker’s

Delightfully charming boutique hotel, just 1 street back from the beach. Room was beautiful with gas fire, fantastic bathroom and bay window looking onto the gardens. Staff were great and went out of their way to help with any request (they even had a chauffeur drop off service for dinner at Pebble Beach) Full Breakfast cooked to order was delicious. Highly recommend this hotel.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel, because I was running the Big Sur marathon. It was an amazing hotel to stay for a couple. The rooms were clean. They had some great areas on property to hang out. The beach was a block away.

I booked a room in this motel for a few reasons. It was away from the downtown expecting it to be quiet. It was NOT quiet. I booked a specific, EXPENSIVE room because it noted that it had a standalone tub. We did not get that room. I asked why and was told that room was not available. I do not believe that. There was only one other couple in the hotel at that time.
The staff (front desk) were BEYOND rude.
The parking was good. The bed was comfortable.
Honestly, for the amount of money I spent on this hotel, I would suggest you find a hotel closer to town.
I will not return here.

This was a beautiful place to stay in Carmel by the Sea. It is only one block away from a scenic beach with a nice walking trail. The property was immaculate and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to order nice breakfasts and have them delivered to our room. This property is a few blocks from downtown so it is very quiet. It was very easy to obtain an Uber for the short ride but the walk is filled with the most beautiful houses to see. Parking is an issue and it is an expensive place to stay but it is still well worth it!

5⭐️ customer service.
1⭐️for Expedia
My room was cancelled because my credit card didn’t go through. The room was cancelled 3 days prior to arrival. The same day I received an email from Expedia saying you are all set for Carmel. I was never notified by Expedia that the credit card didn’t go through. Luckily the hotel had 1 room for 1 night and the hotel gave me a cheaper rate for my ocean view room than Expedia. The hotel brought Champagne to my room for the inconvenience. The next day the hotel had a cancellation and offered to move our luggage for us to the room at 11 am. Hotel staff was phenomenal.

I called Expedia and their customer service was horrible. They offered zero assistance and their only solution was to prepay for the hotel in the future. This was a perfect example of poor customer service


The hotel was beautiful , clean, charming and phenomenal employees. Thank you for turning this into a great experience for less money.

Paid for ocean view but was the furthest room away. Said you can “see the ocean” but when I booked all ocean views were from the balcony. Our balcony faced the neighborhood. Shower broke and the AC didn’t work. Check in staff was not necessarily rude… but definitely short and not at all friendly. Horrible hotel

First off, Chanda at reservations is the best! She explained and made sure we know our way around the hotel. The hotel is few steps away from the beach. I have a view of the beach which is like 2 minutes away from my hotel door. I was able to watch the sunset from the balcony.

I didn’t do the breakfast since I have to drive back early but passing through the courtyard with pergola, they sure do have beautiful plate settings for those who choose to have breakfast.

This is my go to now.

Quiet location with plenty of parking. The grounds were immaculate and the rooms functional. Lovely touches from a welcome gift to an early evening knock on the door with bedtime cookies.
Located just minutes from the beach and about 15mins walk to amenities. I would recommend as a good base for exploring.

We stayed for two nights and three days at this location. The location in itself was amazing but we had issues with AC in the room. The temperature remained at 77° and was very hot throughout the night. We called in at the front desk at the middle of the night, we did have a visit from one of their staffs, at 12:30 at night but couldn’t figured out the AC situation. We left the bathroom window open and tried our best to lower the room temperature. AC was set to 61° but overall temperature of the room didn’t drop lower than 76° all night.

In addition our room got cleaned next day but coffee cups and coffee pods were not available for the second morning of the stay.

Before we checked out, we let the front desk staff know about all those issues but haven’t heard anything back.

Great location for stay but AC is not working, room amenities not being restocked/available, and not hearing from the management team after providing feedback, I would have to rethink before I recommend someone to stay here.

We called ahead to avoid being put in a room we had stayed in before, where staff constantly walk past the window at the exact height of the bed. There are no top-down curtains, so this feels very intrusive. Guess what room we got? Yep. The same one. We have stayed here 3 times, and 2 of those have been terrible. Great location, but very poor layout, and the staff seems frustrated with their jobs, so not responsive to guests.

We spent Valentine’s weekend at Carmel Beach Hotel and it was exactly what we were hoping for. Check-in was incredibly welcoming—they greeted us with drinks, and the fire pit in front of the reception area kept us warm while we arrived a little early. It immediately set the tone for a relaxing weekend.

The grounds are beautifully maintained, and we stayed in Room 12 with an ocean view that my wife absolutely loved. The room felt modern and thoughtfully designed, featuring a beautiful bathtub and shower that made it easy to unwind. Breakfast was served right to our room and was both convenient and tasty.

The staff was wonderful and helpful throughout our stay, and it’s just a short walk to the lovely beach. We would definitely stay here again for a romantic weekend escape.

This was our first stay at the Carmel Beach hotel, and we enjoyed it a lot. The location is perfect: next to the Scenic Drive and the gorgeous sunsets can be seen from the hotel. It is an easy walk to downtown restaurants, although coming back at night requires a mandatory flashlight or a cellphone flashlight for safety. The staff were very pleasant and treated us very well. We did not have breakfast at the hotel.

this is not a hotel. It is a glorified motel and our room literally stunk of sweaty old feet we told management they did absolutely nothing for two nights. We were forced to smell dirty old feet and management rips off all of its customers by charging a $38 resort fee and again this is a glorified motel with no services whatsoever they claim the resort fee is for a welcome drink and carrying your luggage to the room. If you can believe it!

It’s outrageous. It’s a rip off. They should not be allowed to charge a resort fee after already charging over $600 per night for a tiny stinky room!

Like other reviewers, we found this property to be adequate and comfortable but far over priced. We realize this is typical for Carmel and we are paying for the location which is excellent, 1 block from the beach and 1 mile from downtown. We had an ocean view king room which has a great view from the balcony, but is small with an uncomfortable bed and weak shower. Aside from the free car service and cookies at turn down there are no extras included. We did not have the breakfast, use the fitness room or spa. Service and staff were fine but nothing special.
