Carmel Beach Hotel

Carmel Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was fabulous! I liked the ocean view from our room, the 1 block walk to the beach and the super convenient shuttle up the hill to the shops and restaurants. Didn’t need a shuttle back to the hotel, the walk downhill being so pleasant. It was very close to the 17-mile drive. There is parking onsite. The room was very clean."

"Me encantó el lugar. La atención, limpieza. Sin embargo, la habitación no tenía ventana, al no tener aire acondicionado, no había ventilación o brisa fresca que pudiera entrar a la habitación. Si tenía un abanico, tuvimos que usarlo. Pero hubiera sido ideal que pudiera tener alguna ventana."

Stilwell Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Property was so well appointed and very chic. Complimentary breakfast was so much more than expected. Eggs, breads, salads, fresh smoothies and so much more. Everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean. Beds were comfortable. Loved drinking a glass of wine snuggled in a blanket by the outdoor fire pits. Definitely will be staying at the Stilwell again on my next trip to Carmel!"
