Carmel Wayfarer Inn
3.7/5105 Reviews
When I arrived at the hotel at noon, the uncle at the front desk told me that I could check in at 1:30 pm. When I checked in, I changed to another uncle and told me I was sorry to check in at 3:00. Room facilities are old, shower water is cold, water is not hot enough and small. Breakfast is very simple.
Hofsas House Hotel
4.1/5102 Reviews
The hotel is near the town center, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the commercial street. It can be said that the location is very good. There are many varieties of breakfast, including orange juice, coffee, yogurt and several kinds of bread. Compared with other hotels, there are more choices. The front desk clerk is very friendly, because the hotel does not have an elevator, so if you have luggage, you can ask the room attendant to help you deliver it to the room. The room is not big, the shower room is not big, maybe it is exhausted to the level of Samsung in China
Pine Inn - Carmel
3.9/5102 Reviews
The room is small and complete, this is the first hotel in the town, not open on weekends, so good luck. Twin room, the bed is a bit small, but the baby sleeps in a small bed with a sofa, just fine. Breakfast is delivered by the hotel, but the tip is not rich, but the miscellaneous fruits are pineapple, cantaloupe, cucumber and so on. Next to the hotel is lush, smelling a scent, can not help but buy. Carmel Beach should be visible across the bed.
Best Western Carmels Town House Lodge
3.8/5114 Reviews
If you are want to visit the downtown Carmel area and plan to park your car and walk everywhere, you are in luck with this hotel. We booked a king room for a two night stay and did plenty of research so we knew both the negatives and the positives. We had a very nice quiet room with covered parking, so helpful. It seemed to be unseasonably warm in the afternoon hours, especially in the sun with the high humidity, so the lack of A/C in the room was felt, but opening the windows and using the old fan did help. Maybe they could consider a ceiling fan in the future. We left the door open several times to get extra ventilation in the room, but we found that the bugs wanted to enter the room as well. As previously mentioned, there is no elevator, just stairs. If you have mobility issues, be aware of this. The lady that checked us in was very kind, welcoming and friendly. Appreciated her helpfulness. Just a quick reminder that everything in the downtown Carmel area is ”smallish,” meaning that shops, restaurants and sometimes local inns and hotels, are not big on space. If you feel the need to spread out, this is not the place for you, but it is in a great location and reasonably priced for an expensive area.
Carmel Fireplace Inn
4/5104 Reviews
This hotel is a satisfactory hotel for this trip. The room is a suite, just five people sharing, a little small but very warm. Carmel is a beautiful town. In fact, it is very beautiful, the biggest one. The advantage is that it can be cooked, the facilities are very uniform, the parking is convenient, and the flowers are filled with flowers in front of and behind the house. The disadvantage is that the female reception at the front desk seems to have a shortcoming in the brain, and does not understand the hospitality. The man’s duty is too vigilant. We asked wifi in the evening, he was like a thief, because it was so beautiful that we quickly forgot about it.
Carmel Bay View Inn
4.4/5111 Reviews
We booked this place hoping it would be one of the many, very smart independent motels you find throughout CA. Check in was painless and easy. We got a great patio as we had paid for a sea view but it did mean we were around the side of the hotel. The patio doors were surprisingly insecure - held by a small bolt. The room itself was surprisingly small (two double beds), particularly with the fireplace in one corner. The lack of a desk was a shame and we had hoped the room would be smarter/have more character. The bathroom was also relatively small. The beds were very comfortable. Remarkably when we got ready for bed we discovered that the room has no AC - not even a fan! We called reception and they said all the free-standing fans had been given out for the night. We managed to get one our second night but couldn't believe the lack of AC in California - the hotel is older but not so old as to not offer this. The pool was well located and of a good size. However, having been advertised as heated to 80 degrees I would say it was a lot colder. The pool hours (9am-7pm) were annoyingly restrictive, but not uncommon for outdoor pools and explained by the fact that some hotel rooms were right outside it! Breakfast was very poor - a grab and go bag with water, a piece of fruit and an unappetising, dry pastry - which forced us to go elsewhere. Overall given the range of choice and competition in Carmel, and the reasonably high room rate, we were left disappointed. The hotel lacked the character we had hoped for and needs to up its game where AC and breakfast are concerned. We would look to stay somewhere else if we returned to Carmel.
