This property claims to have soul, but it does not. My mother passed away three days before check in and they still charged me for my stay. Pitiful. I even offered to provide the death certificate

I celebrated my milestone birthday in our favorite Carmel-by-the-Sea and was our first time in Tradewinds Carmel. In a nutshell, 5star experience!!! The staff (esp. Christine who was so nice!) was all kind and accommodating. Booked a King with balcony but was generously upgraded to the best room in this awarded 28-room boutique hotel, which was the Serenity Suite. Aside from the beautiful aesthetics of the place, both inside the rooms and esp. the courtyard, the daily breakfast in a basket added a charming effect to our getaway. (Not to mention the seemingly homemade baked chocolate chip cookies given as we checked-in... it is the little things!) Location was strategically located, walkable to great restaurants, as well as downtown (Ocean Ave), but far enough to have ample parking. (We had a dedicated spot!) To sum it up, Tradewinds Carmel is definitely one of the best places to stay in Carmel! We shall definitely come back and keep on raving about this beautifully charming home away from home!

The location is good. The room had an unpleasant odor that the staff said came from Stained furniture. The place was clean - cleaning staff came a bit early in the morning, opening the door without knocking. The room configuration was also off as we had little closet space - neither bag fit into the closet. Staff was very nice and helpful.

I stayed at the Tradewinds in Carmel while on a road trip up the California Coast. Carmel is a beautiful, small town and is known to be very expensive so this hotel was priced well for the area and the type of property. PROS: The hotel is small but really nice and well-kept. It has a bed & breakfast feel. The rooms are a bit small, but good for two people. The bathrooms are nice and very clean. At night you have to make your breakfast selection on a piece of paper the staff leaves in your room and the next morning the staff brings it to your door. It was a good amount of food and they had healthy options. CONS: The parking lot is free, but it’s small and fills up quickly. We had to park on the street one night. It’s also very dark outside and isn’t walking distance to anything. It’s up on a hill too so you definitely need a car to get around (as in most of California). The hotel is a bit hard to find at first as well. OVERALL: If you have a car, this is a great hotel to stay in while visiting Carmel. You get the small town vibe and it is a short drive to the main streets and the beach. I would stay here again while visiting the area.

Nice, little hotel with a great view of the ocean. Third floor was pretty warm without ac on a 75 degree sunny day. The fan provided helped but it was stuffy. Also the shower didn’t drain and the water pooled at the bottom. A nice hotel but some interior updates would be great.

A lovely property but a bit out of town
Our room was large, clean and very nicely and recently decorated. The grounds were very pretty and there was also a lovely view. The only negatives were the lack of outlets close by the bed for our electronic devices. It is also a 10 minute walk over uneven pavement from downtown (which is very dark at night)-so would be an issue for those with mobility problems.

Anniversary trip
We spent two nights for an anniversary trip. The location is perfect for easy walking to downtown Carmel. The views from the top floor are excellent. The setting with fountains and greenery is calming. Breakfast was a nice touch. We appreciated the help with our luggage at check in because of all the stairs. The bed was comfortable and the outside patio and chairs was a nice extension of the room. We had a partial ocean view room #20.
