This is our third time coming to Carmel, and if I win the lotto, I will buy here. It is like nothing else you can experience on the West Coast. There are so many shops, wine tasting, hundreds of wonderful restaurants, and, did I say shopping? We coordinated this trip with a concert at the Sun Set Center. If you can attend a concert there, you will not be let down. It was amazing and within walking distance.

Carmel is a wonderful place to visit, we were lucky that the weather was so GOOD. The town has many great shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a wonderful pace to celebrate a special occasion and there is Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive!!AAnonymousUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

Carmel is a cute, charming seaside town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Mostly all parking is on-street parallel parking. The Adobe Inn, where we stayed, is located within a block of all the restaurants and shops and even has its own parking garage located below the Inn. At night the town pretty much clears out after 9 or 10, but walking back to the Inn felt safe. The town is also a great base if you are planning on visiting Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, or Big Sur.MariettaUnited States of America - 10Scored 10
Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown.
Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown. A beautiful spot with its own personality. The cutest shops, amazing food and outstanding beaches. Super close to Big Sur and also the 17 Mile Drive - make sure you visit Peeble Beach Golf Club!

The morning and afternoon is the best time to spend it in Carmel. During night time it’s not lit up as you think it would be. But during the day it’s absolutely amazing. All the shops, cafes, restaurants. The walking. Everything is near by. The beach to the town is like 10 min walk. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 daysAAnonymous - 10Scored 10
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel.
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel. A lot of good restaurants to eat, not cheap, but a long list of great places. Friendly people. Great beach and other beaches near by. You can visit Monterey, close by.Inna GlazmanUnited States of America

- From $224.78 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 785 reviewsA lovely property in a really good location to have a visit to Carmel. The hotel was only 2 story and surrounded the pool and beautiful gardens. The room had a coffee machine, tv and a super comfy bed. The bathroom was a good size with a shower. The staff were friendly and welcoming at check in and out times and they provided coffee, tea and water in the lobby along with cookies. Free parking was beneficial. The shops and restaurants of Carmel were a 5 minute walk away and it was a beautiful little townLauraUnited Kingdom
- From $257.76 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 1,576 reviewsNice to be in town, but not flooded with main street tourists. Quiet but still close to everything. This hotel has Carmel Valley Roasters coffee in the rooms and lots of beautiful blooming flowers everywhere you look. The parking is also exceptional as there is a drive through loop behind the hotel and lots of spaces so you are not afraid to drive out for day trips for fear of losing the only space you've got. My dogs were very happy here as well. Super nice staff. Thanks!!!SharonUnited States of America
- From $384.12 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 463 reviewsWe loved our stay at this stunning hotel. Beautiful inside and out, and in the perfect location for exploring Carmel. We could see everything we wanted to by foot, including the beach (just prepare for the climb on the way back up!) and fairytale cottages. The breakfast was delicious, and the wine and nibbles every afternoon was a brilliant touch - we loved it and spent a few hours every day of our stay enjoying the wine in the sunshine. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
HeatherUnited Kingdom - From $1,019.64 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 192 reviewsLocation was perfect. It was a nice hotel. An older property but nice. The rooms are dated.the breakfast in our room, however, was perfection! I had avacado toast on our first morning- best ever! It was served with a pastry that I don’t even know how to describe. So good! The chia pudding the next day was again amazing! The hotel itself is not what I would call luxury but the food definitely is.NatashaUnited States of America
- From $257.76 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 1,576 reviewsReally well kept and clean hotel in Carmel. It has its specific style, but definitely well mantained and extremely clean. Traveled in November, thus didn't use the pool, but that's a nice touch. Location is just perfect, everything at walking distance. The only hotel found in the trip in the US with a nice heating sytem that isn't noisy and keep temperature always stable in the room.

The room was spacious and comfortable, and the location was fantastic. We were able to use this as a good home base from which to explore Carmel by foot. We even went to Carmel Valley, which was easy to get to via bus from a bus stop right around the corner from the hotel.
JorgeUnited States of America - From $307.66 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 1,148 reviewsA very pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was nice, with a comfortable bed and huge bathroom. While the hotel is old/historic the hotel is old, it is well-maintained. Some people seem to think this is not the case, but if you're looking for a brand new place, then this isn't the best choice.James V.Netherlands
