This is our third time coming to Carmel, and if I win the lotto, I will buy here. It is like nothing else you can experience on the West Coast. There are so many shops, wine tasting, hundreds of wonderful restaurants, and, did I say shopping? We coordinated this trip with a concert at the Sun Set Center. If you can attend a concert there, you will not be let down. It was amazing and within walking distance.JenniferUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

Carmel is a wonderful place to visit, we were lucky that the weather was so GOOD. The town has many great shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a wonderful pace to celebrate a special occasion and there is Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive!!AAnonymousUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

Carmel is a cute, charming seaside town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Mostly all parking is on-street parallel parking. The Adobe Inn, where we stayed, is located within a block of all the restaurants and shops and even has its own parking garage located below the Inn. At night the town pretty much clears out after 9 or 10, but walking back to the Inn felt safe. The town is also a great base if you are planning on visiting Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, or Big Sur.MariettaUnited States of America - 10Scored 10
Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown.
Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown. A beautiful spot with its own personality. The cutest shops, amazing food and outstanding beaches. Super close to Big Sur and also the 17 Mile Drive - make sure you visit Peeble Beach Golf Club!

The morning and afternoon is the best time to spend it in Carmel. During night time it’s not lit up as you think it would be. But during the day it’s absolutely amazing. All the shops, cafes, restaurants. The walking. Everything is near by. The beach to the town is like 10 min walk. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 daysAAnonymous - 10Scored 10
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel.
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel. A lot of good restaurants to eat, not cheap, but a long list of great places. Friendly people. Great beach and other beaches near by. You can visit Monterey, close by.Inna GlazmanUnited States of America

- From $184.60 per night7.0Scored 7.0GoodRated good· 1,090 reviewsThe front desk manager, Mike, was one of the loveliest people we have ever met. My six year old daughter went down to get me coffee every morning and she and Mike formed a delightful friendship during our five days there. I am usually very uncomfortable in hotel beds, but my daughter and I both agreed we got some of the best rest of our lives during our stay. Extremely comfy bed! The hotel is elegant and charming, and in the heart of downtown Carmel. We would not hesitate to visit again. Lovely stay, thank you.MMaeveUnited States of America
- From $177 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 428 reviewsCarmel Oaks Inn is a very quiet, clean, comfortable hotel. Rooms have everything you need.

When you walk up the stairs to get to the second floor, there is a cozy terrace with tables and chairs where you can sit and enjoy glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is delivered to your door at no extra cost! Staff is very welcoming. It was a very pleasure stay.
InnaUnited States of America - From $292.25 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 1,570 reviewsWe really enjoyed our stay at Hofsas. The hotel has a nice old world feel. Its a pleasant 10 mins stroll into Carmel centre and another 5 mind to Sunset beach. We ate at the restaurant across the road, which was good. The balconies at the rear catch the sun in the afternoon and we had a pleasant sit out in late November. The breakfast was perfectly fine. There was plenty of parking, but the streets are pretty quiet if you came at a busy time.
DavidUnited Kingdom - From $251.19 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 777 reviewsThe rooms were renovated, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is not very diversified (no eggs, cheese, cold meets, ...) but has the essential coffee, some pastries, cereals and a waffle machine :) The location is central to most shops and restaurants even though a bit further from the beach, however walkable. Considering it is Carmel by the Sea the price we had was excellent considering the quality of the Inn.TiagoPortugal
- From $276.63 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,202 reviewsThe room was very spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Due to covid the breakfast area was closed but they gave us a daily starter bag with water, juice, a mini pound cake and a banana. We couldn't have asked for more. The hotel is within walking distance to all the restaurants, shops and the beach. We would definitely recommend Carmel Bay View in to other travelers.JohnUnited States of America
