Carmel Highlands Bar Hotel

"Highly recommend this place! They were so kind and accommodating. It was our first overnight trip with our autistic little boy and everyone was so sweet and kind to him. They honored some special requests (nothing crazy, but still so helpful for us as parents) we made just to make transitions easier for him. Everything went perfectly smooth. Best staff ever! "

"Very clean premises, inside and outside. Bought a Milky Way from machine and it expired March 2025. It was not edible. Bed is not the most comfortable. Shower head water was very light water coming out. BUT, the drain worked well!"

"I like how friendly and nice the staff was, loved that they allowed us to do a late check out. Will go here again!"

"Desk staff was super helpful and kind "

"Very clean and friendly staff "

"Beach facing room. Excellent."

"Within walking distance of everything. Elevator didn't work right, kept taking me to the wrong floor, even took me to the 4th floor which is completely under renovation. Ended up using stairs the whole 3 days we were there."

"We stayed here for one night, and for a night's stay we enjoyed the hotel. It is centrally located to coffee shops, restaurants, and only a short drive to the wharf and aquarium. The hotel is quaint, with a lot of charm, and our standard king room was small, but for an overnight stay it was just fine. The bed and pillows were very comfy, and the rooms don't seem to have AC/heating, but we like to sleep in a cool room, so we kept the windows slightly open. Staff was very friendly, check in was simple, and we did use the $30 (a night) valet since we knew we wouldn't be needing our car during our stay, and we didn't want to have to park at one of the parking structures a block or so away. FYI, if you do want to use the valet, you will have to park in their "loading zone" which is not located near the main entrance, this is located in the back entrance and you will see a sign that'll let you know it's the hotel's loading zone. Once you unload your luggage, check in leave and leave your keys with the front desk and they will then take your car to their valet lot."

"Great stay! "
