Service was incredible, staff ensured any needs were met. Options for breakfast exceeded expectations and the pizza options later in the evening were just what we needed after coming back from the bars before heading home early the next warning. We did wish service went until 11 or midnight but we understood that it was weekdays. I had no complaints for this hotel and we will be back for our next trip to Carmel. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay! The room was spotless and the overall ambiance was warm and inviting. The convenience of onsite parking made everything so easy. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with plenty of great options to choose from. Best of all, the hotel was extremely dog-friendly — our little pooch enjoyed the stay just as much as we did!

Great stay at Stilwell Hotel. Great location with its own off street parking. We were able to walk to restaurants and had easy access to CA 1. The breakfasts were amazing! Great selection! The only negative was that the room was a bit small. Will definitely stay there again when we’re in Carmel.
