By the Sea and everything else too.
Super location. Near public beach, sunsets, walk to town but still peaceful/restful. Nice surprise-serves decent food and has outdoor fireplace and sitting areas.

Very nice property, I would definitely stay here again. I didn’t enjoy all the amenities because this was a business trip but it seemed very well thought out. Loved the boutique feel of the property. The room service breakfast was delicious.

Nathalie at the front desk was super warm and knowledgeable. Hotel offers complementary transportation around town (Dennis was very professional) , which made going into town much easier (parking can be hard to find on Ocean ave).
Carmel Beach Hotel exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be back for a longer stay next time!

Great hotel! Room 11 and 12 are the best IMO. Only complaint is ambient light. The thermostat specifically was quite bright. Bring a sleep mask

Would have liked to have access to a microwave, either in our room or in the lobby. Had to ask staff to warm an item for us and they had to take it to the laundry area.

On the up side, we liked the quiet neighborhood, convenient self parking, comfortable bed, ocean view and a friendly and courteous staff.
On the down side, after booking a three night stay with Expedia, which included lodging, fees and taxes, the hotel charged us an additional, unexpected $114.72, for Resort Fees and taxes.

This place is literally less than a block away from the beach. The beach walk is very scenic and beautiful. Also included a shuttle to ocean ave and a gym. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms themselves were just OK, however it had a great view and Nescafe in them. An OK room with great coffee and a stellar view. I'll take that. Lol
