I will absolutely return to Hotel Carmel which oozes hospitality from the moment you arrive, in its guest rooms (opt for a fireplace!) the healthy breakfast each morning and the quick walk to shopping and restaurant- its role in my impression of Carmel-by-the-Sea was co siderable

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.
