Clean, comfortable, good sized rooms. Enjoyed the fireplace and modern bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff and we really enjoyed the breakfast delivered in a basket to our rooms. We will stay again!
Service was great, rooms looked just as pictured and were impressively clean, balcony was private, room and hotel had a very serene atmosphere, beach towels were provided, and the breakfast delivery every morning was super convenient and a nice touch. I would recommend and I would stay again.
We absolutely loved her hassle-free stay. Hotel is in a great location... the parking & breakfast delivery to our room was very welcome icing on the cake!
Great place to stay with very thoughtful amenities including a small breakfast delivered every morning in a basket, texts from the front desk to check in periodically and and well-conceived design and comfort elements at every turn. Didn’t want to leave! Great stay!
Our room was really nice, and the staff kept it very clean. The delivered-to-your room breakfast was great! This was really a terrific perk. Would definitely stay here again.
Breakfast delivery to your room in a basket was a nice touch. Clean room, nice and helpful staff, but keep in mind with most of this area, No AC, so if in heat of the summer, keep this in mind, although they do have a fan in the room,
Wonderful stay at Tradewinds. Convenient location, lovely room with a view of the ocean and breakfast delivered to the room daily! We will definitely return!
Very nice place stay with a balcony and fireplace. Bed was very comfortable and cozy.
A light Breakfast and coffee dropped off in the morning was an added bonus.
Quiet and beautiful location with very helpful staff. Our room had a view of the ocean and the breakfast delivered each morning was a great surprise. There was no A/C but we never needed it with the cool breezes through the open windows even at night.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Tradewinds in Carmel.
The staff was helpful and friendly...our room was charming
The fireplace was a lovely surprise...
Our Saturday morning breakfast was fresh and healthy!
If we find ourselves in Carmel again, we would choose to stay at Tradewinds.
