This was our first visit to Hotel Carmel and it was a wonderful experience. The lobby staff, especially Anne, were inviting and helpful. We enjoyed the homey feel and it felt more like a B&B rather than a hotel. We will definitely be back!

It's a great option in Carmel!
My husband and I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The location is great. We walked to the many food and shopping options. Also, it was a nice walk to the beach. The staff was very nice and helpful. The free breakfast was great!

Disliked: Staff & service
Housekeeping kept knocking on our door when it was not even time to check out yet. Our room doesnt even have a “Do not disturb” sign. And even if we dont have the “Do not disturb sign, they should not be bothering like that until check out time which is 12 noon. Heater is too old it makes loud sound.

Hotel cute and quaint. Limited parking spaces. Great pub restaurant below hotel good food. Room cozy. TV service did not work properly. Service quite bad with house keeping. Last day Xmas Called for late checkout regulars check out 12:00 They gave until 12:30. At 10:30 cleaning maid knocked on the door to do room. We said no need and placed a do not disturb written note on the door handle from there after every 15min cleaning maid came knocking until 12:00. We ended up checking out at 12 as required. Was a very unpleasant experience.

Beautiful and charming! The staff could not of been more accommodating and most of all friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast with healthy and lovely! I look forward to stay again at the Hotel Carmel!
