Carmel Beach Hotel was perhaps one of the favorite places I've stayed!! The rooms were lovely, clean, and comfortable, and every staff member was an absolute joy to chat with. If you need a place to stay in Carmel, I don't think you'll find something better.

This quaint beauty is off the beaten downtown path, close to the beach and walkable to the sand. Everything about this resort makes us wish to return. The only confusing element is the promise of a downtown shuttle yet on the night we stayed, the day of the Car week exhibition, their shuttle was being serviced and was never available. Why this was the timing and no alternate arrangement was made is puzzling to be sure. The e-bikes are a wonderful feature but in need of service. Carmel is extremely hilly and riding into town was a challenge even with the e-bikes. The rooms are beautifully appointed, the grounds are lovely and well maintained. Staff responsive to our requests to light firepit and use bikes. We plan to return next summer.

Great Spot - not great ppl

Great spot, okay service, staff needs training. This was a splurge for us we were expecting a red carpet rollout - and the staff was accommodating but - my mom requested a bathtub room shortly after booking - it was confirmed the room we got included that. Day of we get there - neither room has it. We do a switch and swap and end up getting told rather firmly we'll be charged for a cleaning fee due to a room that was occupied needing to be cleaned up. Overall the feeling from the staff and managers on this was that we had mad a mistake not them. Which frankly felt bad. Otherwise it was great little spot - 1 block up and around the corner from the stairs on the beach. Not on the water but as close as you can get basically. They had ebikes which was a cool perk, although they did seem outdated. Still super fun! Didn't get a chance to try out the gym. Some pros were they were super chill about the service animal. And overall the place had good vibes. Just the mixup at the beginning left a sour taste the whole stay. They need to take customer service classes, including the manger herself... Wasn't Bad, Wasn't great..

Staff was nice and room was very clean. Area was always quiet and very close to the beach, just a walk away. The parking spots weren’t super obvious just had to ask. There weren’t many of them but I always seemed to find a parking spot available every night. Downtown area was a short drive away. Parking in that area can get bad on Saturday but the hotel offers shuttle service. Was a very great stay and I would come back again!
