"Amazing place"

Carmel Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Normandy Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Special thanks to Cecile the GM whom I had the pleasure to meet during my check out. The property is great and very well located. You almost get transported to a different time and place in this town. Be sure to soak it all up. Breakfast is really great to get you started. Rooms are very spacious."

Carmel Fireplace Inn

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was a good stay. We had a Quiet room but the location on property was poor. One side faced the property parking lot while the opposite side faced a construction parking lot. We should’ve been offered a discount since, as in the online photos, it showed nothing but pretty greenery and hanging plants. It was nice to have lunch at the umbrella tables in the center of the property. We arrived after the office was closed, but the self-check in instructions were clear and easy to follow. It was a little weird that they put the refrigerator in the bathroom. Property location was great! We could walk down the street one way to the shops, galleries, and restaurants, or out the other directions into the neighborhoods."

L Auberge Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Best boutique hotel to stay in Carmel. It’s in the middle of downtown Carmel. Walking distance to restaurants, art galleries, and to Carmel beach."

Comfort Inn Carmel By The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location, awesome coffee maker with breakfast spread and helpful staff!"
