Top Sunset Center Hotel Reviews

Carmel Wayfarer Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and very nice and helpful staff"

Carmel Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property, well maintained and professional staff. Room was amazing, very clean and current with top shelf amenities. Parking can be a bit dicey due to the proximity to the beach and the property is in a residential area. Resort does their best, but it caused it to wonder if we wanted to head into town with our rental and loose our spot. The property offers a shuttle via a very nice VW van which we opted to use, problem solved. Greatly enjoyed our stay!"

Carmel Fireplace Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely nice resort with beautiful property, impressive lobby and great swimming pool. Spacious room and bathroom. Very satisfying experience overall."

Carmel Green Lantern Inn

8/10 Good

"Property was very charming like a story book. I was expecting to see the white rabbit or Alice pop out at any moment. Loved the beautiful flowers and greenery. Staff was great Parking was tight but we managed. Perfect location walking distance to everything. Especially enjoyed being able to walk over to the Cypress Inn and hear Debbie sing."

Cypress Inn

8/10 Good

"The Inn is one of our favorite places in Carmel. Usually we have one of the better rooms but they were gone this time. The basic king bed room was small and the bathroom very small and poorly conceived with few surfaces on which to place things. A better room is a must for next time. Breakfast great and included. Parking very limited and must be reserved morning at 8 am day of arrival. $40!!"

Carmel Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Cleaning staff was super nice. Front desk was very helpful."

Carriage House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room, warm staff."

Le Petit Pali at 8th Ave

10/10 Excellent

"Delightful boutique hotel in down Carmel. Happy hour with a glass of rose in their gorgeous patio, cozy room with fireplace, and the highlight is the included champagne breakfast with the lovely European style food. The only annoyance is the lack of private parking in an area where parking is quite difficult to begin with."
