Top Carmel Hotel Reviews

Villa Mara Carmel

Carmel Point

10/10 Excellent

My husband and I came here to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary. This hotel exceeded my expectations! The staff was extremely friendly & accommodating! The hotel itself is GORGEOUS - so clean & new and feels like home. Lovely outdoor seating areas with fire pits (and blankets if you need them). Love all the complimentary touches - wine at the bar, continental breakfast and room snacks. (Unfortunately, my husband and I had to leave very early in the morning, before the continental...

LORI

An outdoor seating area with a fire feature, modern furniture, and a view of the sky.

Stilwell Hotel

Northwest Carmel

10/10 Excellent

Susan

A bedroom with a fireplace, a large bed, a bench with pillows, a view through the window, and a round mirror on the wall.

Carriage House Inn

Downtown Carmel

10/10 Excellent

Stayed here to celebrate my wife's birthday. The room and service were great. Location was in the middle of downtown Carmel, so everything was walking distance. The breakfast meat quiche was delicious. The bathtub had jets, which was very relaxing. The parking lot is a bit tricky to maneuver, but there is also street parking. Walls might be a bit on the thin side. Definitely heard the next-door neighbors "in the act," which may have been the only negative part of our stay.

Alan

An outdoor patio area with stone flooring, potted plants, and a fire feature.

The Vagabond's House

Northwest Carmel

10/10 Excellent

Anonymous traveler

A stone building with a fire pit and outdoor seating.

Carmel Beach Hotel

Golden Rectangle

10/10 Excellent

We booked this to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The hotel upgraded us to an ocean view at no charge. It was quiet and we could hear the ocean waves at night. There were e-bikes to rent which was great- the first hour was free. Breakfast was served to our room at the time we requested and a nightly turn down service with a cookie was an added bonus. The fitness room had a good amount of weights and the location of the hotel was so close to the ocean. I would definitely go back! Loved it!

NICOLE

A hotel with a stone waterfall, wooden steps, and lush greenery.

La Playa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

I like this place because the location is 5 mins walk to the beach and 10 mins walk to downtown. Also 10 mins drive to Los Lobos Reserve. The staff are really nice. The hotel is newly renovated and honestly I love this hotel. It gives cozy vibe and aesthetic is pretty nice. The breakfast is phenomenal I didn’t get to try all of it but the burrito and waffles are Must have. There’s freshly baked cookies at night and alcoholic drinks in the afternoon. We had free wine and birthday card when we...

Stephanie Izah

L Auberge Carmel

Downtown Carmel

10/10 Excellent

This hotel offers most of the things one might expect from a good hotel for a short stay. It's conveniently located close to everything but at the same time it's quiet enough. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean, nicely decorated, had everything necessary and some extras (drinking water, in-house prepared nuts and candies, coffee). Everything was just right. And what I value a lot: we've never got that unpleasant feeling you get more and more often from various...

Julia

An outdoor seating area with striped umbrellas, wooden chairs, and tables.
