We loved our stay at Stilwell Hotel. Staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Very clean room, with comfy bed and super soft linens. Hotel Cafe food was delicious. Great location, walking distance to beach, local cafes, restaurants and shopping. Two courtyard patios, each with water feature and fire pit are lovely. Staff provided warm throws for us to sit through a light evening mist. Sooo nice. We plan to return to Carmel in the summer and stay here again! JLT

The room was perfect for us! So luxurious and what a fantastic location within walking distance to everything! If you want that true Carmel-By-The-Sea experience, stay here! The staff was so friendly, helpful, and professional! Lastly, the breakfast that is included is incredible! Fresh smoothies, tapas style breakfast dishes, etc. Not your run of the mill buffet that you get elsewhere. Highly recommended!

Why is breakfast mentioned as a highlight. Worst free breakfast I've seen at a hotel. One egg option was burnt hard boiled eggs, no meats, only breads with pasteurized butter. Huge disappointment. Rooms are tiny!! No hot water. Won't book here again.
