Carmel Hotel Reviews That Will Have You California Dreamin

No other place can beat this gem based on the price and location. It's within a five-ten minute walk to many restaurants and points of interest (Tuck Box, Alvarado Street Brewery, La Bicyclette, Napoli, Carmel Bistro Giovanni, Carmel Plaza, the Secret Garden, Carmel Library, etc.). Checking in after 3 was easy and fast. The gentleman who helped us was kind enough to give us a room downstairs to make it easier to lug our stuff around since the two-story building doesn't have elevators. As Best Western reward members, we got one of the recently-remodeled rooms. The hotel provides free on-site parking which is much appreciated in a town where only the air is free. Breakfast is served from 7-10 a.m. While it's not as varied as some of the other larger Best Western Hotels, hard-boiled eggs, toast, yogurt, waffles, cereals, juices, and yogurt are aplenty. There's a spacious balcony upstairs to watch the sunset or enjoy a picnic with an ocean view at a distance. Tip: Linda's Store is right across from the balcony. It's a perfect place to pick up light meals and picnic food. Our only, minor complaint was about the TV remote that went rogue and muted audio on its own. Both my hubby and I tried troubleshooting to no avail. Since it happened after 9 p.m., when my hubby went to ask for help at the lobby, he found out the lobby was locked and closed, meaning no one works after hours. Given the town vibes, it's not totally surprising, but I do wonder what would've happened if the power that went off momentarily in our room didn't come back right away. Anyway, the TV issue got resolved the next day by a lovely woman who gave us a new remote and had a worker recalibrate the original remote. It wasn't a big deal since we don't visit Carmel to watch TV. Overall, this was an excellent find and will return and recommend to friends who plan on visiting Carmel in a couple of months.

Abbiamo soggiornato a Carmel durante un viaggio da San Francisco a Los Angeles. La scelta è stata casuale ma abbiamo trovato una gradita sorpresa, due gentilissime e simpatiche persone, i gestori, che con entusiasmo ci hanno fatto sentire subito i benvenuti. Basterebbero solo loro per dare 5 stelle! Torneremo sicuramente in occasione di un nostro prossimo viaggio. Grazie!

I want to highlight how accommodating the management is. Our trip was scheduled 2 days after the news that flights may be cancelled due to the 2025 government shutdown. We were concerned we would not be able to cancel our hotel in time for the normal 48-hour cancellation period if something were to happen with our flight. However, management extended this period 2 additional days, plenty of time for us to cancel our reservation in case our flight was cancelled or delayed. Everything went fine with our flight in the end, but we greatly appreciated how understanding and flexible they were!
