Carmel is a great beach to visit.
Carmel is a great beach to visit. Very pretty surrounding area, white sandy beach. But water is cold! Carmel in general tends to be very rainy/cloudy. Its not necessarily "lay out and tan" kind of vibes. But more walk the beach, play fetch with your dog, find a good nook to read a book, surf if thats what you're into.

Such a neat little town, some areas look like a fairy village according to my wife. Definitely a art town as there are a lot of art galleries. Overall it is such a cute little town with lots of cool little shops to visit and sights to see.D - 10Scored 10

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.

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!

- From $199.16 per night7.0Scored 7.0GoodRated good· 1,081 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
- 8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 464 reviewsWe loved our stay at this stunning hotel. Beautiful inside and out, and in the perfect location for exploring Carmel. We could see everything we wanted to by foot, including the beach (just prepare for the climb on the way back up!) and fairytale cottages. The breakfast was delicious, and the wine and nibbles every afternoon was a brilliant touch - we loved it and spent a few hours every day of our stay enjoying the wine in the sunshine. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
HeatherUnited Kingdom - From $210.72 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 510 reviewsFirst thing if you do get a room in the block of rooms they have such the best view of Carmel River and all the animal life that goes up and down woke up to a blue heron probably 150 ft from my window fishing line on the river I don't know if you ever seen the movie vacation with Chevy Chase will in the beginning of the movie they show they traveled through Big Sur so I could truly say if the griswalts were going through they would have stayed at the River Inn:-)
ChrisUnited States of America - From $276.63 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,178 reviewsBeautiful morning view of the ocean as well as sunsets from our balcony! Very quiet hotel, beds were comfy and rooms were very clean. The fireplace was a nice romantic touch too. Within two blocks of the best Carmel has to offer for fine dining, casual dining and everything in between. Lots of cool little shops and breakfast places tucked along the downtown area, very quaint and easy walking from the hotel. Hotel staff was wonderful and helpful!
GoinCoastal55United States of America - From $257.76 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 1,579 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 $273.89 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 789 reviewsIt was a clean, new and super cozy little Hotel. The room was clean and had everything that was needed. Breakfast was okay but Carmel has a bunch of cute places to get a proper one, especially for those who are vegan. The location was close to the city center and just a 15min walk away from the beach. I would always come back!SophiaGermany
- From $298.30 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 438 reviewsRoom adequate, bit crowded with furnishings. Location not the best, at top of hill, limited tight parking if hotel would be full. Breakfast basket more than adequate. Loads of construction all over Carmel, no street parking in town and it was off month of January. Could not imagine how it would be in busier season

- From $156.61 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 1,352 reviewsCute but definitely a lot of deferred maintenance. Totally worth staying here if the price is good. The staff is nice.

- From $299.53 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 1,957 reviewsLocation, close to shops and restaurants - not far to drive to the beach, swimming pool and general feel of the hotel. Nice bar and restaurant, quiet even though close to a main road, you don't hear much noise
NereneUnited Kingdom - From $276.63 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,178 reviewsUnimpressively mediocre room for a ridiculous 5 star boutique hotel prize. I come frequently to Carmel and check out new locations to stay. This place will become one of the more unpleasant memories.
