Carmel Beach Hotel

Carmel Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay. The Hotel is very nicely appointed and the staff was terrific. Everything is new and shiny and the location is great. Only minor note is that the water pressure in our shower (the overhead not the handheld) was not great. We did not raise it though - and it might have been a very easy fix!"
