The property itself was very nice and the staff was incredible. The hotel was in a good location, walking distance to downtown. However, the walls are paper thin and we could hear everything from our neighbors… including them having sex. We were constantly getting woken up throughout the night and early morning. So if you want a relaxing place to sleep, this is probably not the place to stay.

My friends and I stayed here for a short girls trip! Highly recommend!! Hotel Carmel is beautifully decorated, all of the staff was very friendly and helpful, and we especially loved the afternoon cheese, cookies and wine! The morning breakfast is light but filling and fresh! We could see the ocean from our hotel door. We would definitely stay there again!

The location was great! We were able to walk to shopping and many restaurants. I am giving 4 stars due to plumping issues in the bathroom. We had to call the engineer twice for our two night stay.
