Carmel Beach Hotel, hotel in Carmel

Located in Carmel, 100 metres from Carmel Beach, Carmel Beach Hotel provides accommodation with a fitness centre, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

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.

    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 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. 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.

    First thing if you do get a room in the block of rooms they have such the best view of Carmel River and all the animal life that goes up and down woke up to a blue heron probably 150 ft from my window fishing line on the river I don't know if you ever seen the movie vacation with Chevy Chase will in the beginning of the movie they show they traveled through Big Sur so I could truly say if the griswalts were going through they would have stayed at the River Inn:-)

    The rooms were renovated, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is not very diversified (no eggs, cheese, cold meets, ...) but has the essential coffee, some pastries, cereals and a waffle machine :) The location is central to most shops and restaurants even though a bit further from the beach, however walkable. Considering it is Carmel by the Sea the price we had was excellent considering the quality of the Inn.

    Loved the room and the balcony. Staff was friendly. We visited at Christmas time and the whole town was beautiful. The our room had a full kitchen and fireplace complete with furnished logs. Large bathroom. Located within walking distance of Carmel's main shopping and eating areas. We never used our car. We walked everywhere. Also walking distance from the beach but uphill back to the hotel.

    Really well kept and clean hotel in Carmel. It has its specific style, but definitely well mantained and extremely clean. Traveled in November, thus didn't use the pool, but that's a nice touch. Location is just perfect, everything at walking distance. The only hotel found in the trip in the US with a nice heating sytem that isn't noisy and keep temperature always stable in the room.
