Carmel is beautiful, but very expensive. You can tell it is a well taken care of town, but stores and restaurants close early, or are not open at all during the week. Very cute to just walk around and admire the houses, and the beach is lovely.

Carmel is a beautiful safe place to stay. The beach was within a short walk, although down a steep hill. The beach is pretty clean and the shops nearby are very cute and have lots of cool things in them.

"We have stayed here before, but this was our anniversary. After returning from dinner, a short while later there was a knock on the door and there stood a staff member with an ice bucket and a bottle of champagne!
This place is an absolute gem. It is right in the middle of all of the art galleries, boutique shopping, and restaurants all within walking distance from the hotel. I honestly cannot say enough about this place other than this will always be our hotel whenever we visit the area! Five stars?...I wish I could give SIX!!!"
"Charming place right off one of the main roads but near downtown Carmel. The room was very clean, nicely stocked, great water pressure, and comfy beds. Would definitely stay here again."
