Great stay at Stilwell Hotel. Great location with its own off street parking. We were able to walk to restaurants and had easy access to CA 1. The breakfasts were amazing! Great selection! The only negative was that the room was a bit small. Will definitely stay there again when we’re in Carmel.

Had a great experience. Room and bathroom were massive and and really nice. Only complaint was that you can control all the lights without leaving the bed. Breakfast was good, staff were nice, parking a little tight but manageable. Would go back!
