Top Carmel Hotel Reviews

The Quail

10/10 Excellent

"The Quail was a beautiful place to stay. The room had excellent views and amenities. Service was very good and use of the on site putting greens were a great relaxation."

Tradewinds Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely hospitable and responsive to requests. Unique hotel with distinctive charm."

Hyatt Carmel Highlands

8/10 Good

"So this is a beautiful spot BUT!! The hotel is literally on the edge of a steep hill. “A disclaimer should go along with the booking. Must be physically fit to enjoy our property!!” Our room, while not far from the lobby, was probably 75 stair steps below the lobby. I’m sure they have some handicapped rooms available but the area we stayed in (about 24 rooms) is a hike. Don’t know about the restaurant as it was closed the night we stayed. The fitness center is okay but not much equipment other than cardio machines. Our room had a beautiful, unobstructed view of the ocean but the entrance to the property and the Highway 1 were so close that we couldn’t keep our windows open because of the noise. There are plenty of rooms that aren’t as close so be advised. Seemed like they were short of bell staff so we carried our bags ourselves which accentuated the elevation issues."

Pine Inn

8/10 Good

"Original hotel was built in 1890’s and was really well maintained as a historic landmark. Room was quite small for larger historic-style furniture. Staff was attentive, helpful and friendly. Italian restaurant in the hotel was very accessible for guests and food and service was very good!"
