the breakfast is quite possibly one of the most incredible things about this hotel. They provide it with your reservation, and it is cooked for you, offered in the room or at a beautiful outdoor courtyard on property with a fireplace. The staff was very helpful, and offered amenities like free rides up the hill to the center of town. This hotel is down by the beach, just a block away, which is why I chose to stay here vs 6 blocks up hill in the center of town. It is quiet, private, a nice sanctuary. they place a lot of emphasis on their spa and the bathrooms. Those latter are amazing, each (I believe) has a tub with bath salts, etc, plus robes, slippers. I did not try the spa, but it seemed to be a destination for many of those staying there. (We were there in the offseason, February). The hotel’s food is quite good too although we only had snacks and a couple drinks at their bar. I believe the rates are a good value, for what you receive.

Carmel-by-the-Sea is a very nice place. It's quite touristic but that's all in the game. Therefore you get very nice beaches and shops. The hotel rooms are quite spacious.

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!!

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.

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 days

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.
We 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.
L'Auberge Carmel is a very nice hotel. The bathroom has the most marvelous heated tile floor in front of the sink. With Carmel having fairly consistent 50-60's weather, that heated floor was wonderful when barefoot. The location was fantastic as well. We tried all 3 of the breakfast offerings -- healthy Chia seed pudding & juice shot, Avocado toast, and petit dejuner. All were very good. I liked the healthy breakfast the best and the Avocado toast the least.
one of few hotels in Carmel by the sea that has property for a garden and a small pool.
beautiful grounds, comfy lobby and restaurant area open to seating all day.
wine and sangria in the afternoon. wonderful breakfast included in the stay.
4 min walk to the beach and the towns restaurants. they provided a shuttle to and from town.
the staff is super friendly and accommodating.
We visit Carmel often. Quirky hotels abound and at this price point this exceeded our expectations. This is a well renovated hotel in a great location in the heart of Carmel by the Sea. the room was graceful, timeless, quiet and romantic with thick, lush bedding, a separate spa tub, fireplace(electris) and TV. We will return for sure.
It was a clean, new and super cozy little Hotel. The room was clean and had everything that was needed. Breakfast was okay but Carmel has a bunch of cute places to get a proper one, especially for those who are vegan. The location was close to the city center and just a 15min walk away from the beach. I would always come back!
It's a gem. I truly love that area the Carmel. River, There was one of the biggest gathering places for native Tribes. You're in the most perfect place. Because you can go to the beach, you can go to The Valley. You could easily go down the coast. You easily make it into Monterey. And it's really a beautiful place to stay.
Great location in Carmel by the Sea. Walking distance to the little downtown area that’s full of shops, restaurants, bars, and the beach. The breakfast served every morning was healthy and delicious! The robes are to die for, I still am mad I didn’t buy one before we left. We’ll definitely be back!
Carmel Inn is a great place! It has everything you need from a swimming pool, whirlpool, restaurant to gym! Centrally located, super close to shops and some restaurants! It was quiet, the rooms were clean and the food was good. Even though it‘s a rather big hotel, you still get an intimate feeling.
The room was big and comfortable. There was a microwave and a refrigerator. Two TVs! Big room to relax and read and watch TV. Nice size bedroom and bed. We had a parking space and the hotel is in a great location in Carmel.
Cute but definitely a lot of deferred maintenance. Totally worth staying here if the price is good. The staff is nice. It is not walkable to Carmel by the sea attractions, but it is a good safe place to rest your head.
The hotel's location is amazing. It's easy to walk to the beach. The hotel is Old Charm for Carmel with wonderful staff. There are so many places to eat here, but the hotel is also great. It has an amazing happy hour.
It was very comfortable!!! Great room / fireplace / parking/ hot tub/ quite. Breakfast was delicious. We have stayed in several other hotels in Carmel . Some much pricer. This was the best. You will see us again.
The hotel was really well positioned for exploring Carmel and having the car park and free nearby roadside parking was an added bonus. Across our 3 day stay we always got a space. The bedroom was really spacious.
lovely hotel - friendly staff - great breakfast provided - fresh pastries, coffee, juice and yogurt. Pool was heated, with sauna and towels provided. Walk to centre of Carmel only 10 minutes away.
Wonderful rooms, large and very clean. Brilliant location in an idyllic place - Carmel by the sea is absolutley wonderful.
Staff were very polite and helpful. Plenty of parking spaces.
