Top Carmel Hotel Reviews

Carmel Resort Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to book"

Le Petit Pali at Ocean Ave

10/10 Excellent

"This is a charming place to stay in Carmel, near all the shops and restaurants. The hotel offers a delicious continental breakfast and the rooms are comfortable and cozy with very nice toiletries and snack and drink offerings. Upon our arrival and departure, the front desk staff wasn’t very friendly or informative. Otherwise, we would highly recommend this spot and would love to return."

Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"This property is located near the shopping center. You have your own shack with a kitchen, living room, room and bedroom. Beds were comfortable and everyone was pretty quiet just depending on the guest we had next-door. I wish we would’ve got one of the sharks that did not have a door to the neighbors because you could hear talking and tv through walls. Inn has nice trail that goes around grounds and is located right off the Carmel River (creek)."
