The first thing you need to know about Carmel: Clint Eastwood used to be the mayor, so don’t come here if you’re a hooligan. But if you’re after a romantic getaway to a seaside, art-filled village, Carmel might be perfect for you. You can even bring your dog—Carmel’s hotels, restaurants and galleries are remarkably Fido-friendly.

This was my first time staying at the Horizon Inn and it was wonderful! I stayed in a king room with jacuzzi and ocean view. The room was spacious and quiet. The Inn is walking distance to everything but off the beat and path so nice and quiet. There is a common area with fire pit and hot tub and a place to get ice and water (to fill up your reusable water bottle!) The front desk attendants were very friendly and helpful. There is a daily continental breakfast delivered daily in a picnic basket that had a variety of food selections. There is parking both on site and on nearby streets (we never had a problem finding a spot, even on the holiday weekend). I definitely plan to return in the future.

On our recent visit to Carmel, we had to split our stay between accommodations due to availability. This place was most exceptional in every way, from their courteous et friendly staff, to their spacious et plush comfy rooms to their delicious breakfast. Their added attention to our dog, Henry was sincere et comforting. They went above et beyond in helping us secure parking for our 24’ Sprinter. We look forward to our next stay with them, so I’ll be booking more in advance than previous to make sure.

We stayed three nights in a large, very quiet, two room Premium Suite which couldn't have been nicer. The staff was friendly, helpful staff was great. The Hors d'oeuvres and wine in the evenings was nice, and even the breakfast they deliver to your room was great. We've stayed in many hotels in Carmel, but this was by far the nicest hotel we've stayed in.

Our five patio suites have totally new bathrooms from basement to attic. All the Torres St rooms are freshly painted. We are happy to include a homemade hot breakfast with your stay. We serve chocolate chip cookies right from the oven to our complimentary wine party every afternoon. The wood for all ten fireplaces is seasoned pine and lights quickly, cracking with natural warmth to offset the summer foggy evenings in Carmel.
This was our first time in Carmel. After driving 12 hours from Portland, OR, Connor greeted us with complimentary wine and cheese. The garden courtyards were amazing and our suite, while not very large was comfortable and had everything we needed. Plus the breakfast was delicious. This is located within walking distance to downtown and the beach. Connor and Gaby were so nice and welcoming. The town also seems laid back and up scale at the same time. The beach was beautiful and the sand powdery. We are seriously planning our next stay. The only thing we will change is to stay longer. :)

Really enjoyed my stay at the Carmel Fireplace Inn! Its near lots of great restaurants/shops, and the beach is a 5 min drive down Ocean Ave. ( Beach is STUNNING btw) Lots of free parking at the beach, but get there early. I booked the "Scenic Room" (#38, upstairs) It overlooked the courtyard, & of course had a cute fireplace that was such a mood in the evenings ? (hot water in the showrr was GREAT) Book an upstairs room so you don't have to worry about hearing folks walk above you, as most hotels have thin walls. Parking is limited, so get there early or you'll have to park on the street. Staff was very nice & helpful in understanding the town, & the Inn was quiet in the evenings. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice solo ( or couples) getaway. I'll be back to visit soon!

Stay comfortably while attending annual events, and Jazz festivals, or book your stay merely to enjoy the beautiful accommodations, and rekindle romance at the Vendange Carmel Inn & Suites.
Wine Lovers Paradise as wine is the theme of this lovely, romantic Inn. We had a second floor room that included a sitting area with fireplace, bedroom with balcony patio with table and chairs, and small but functional bathroom with walk in shower. Lovely gardens and fire-pit with chairs to be enjoyed by guests. Comfortable bed in this quiet location. Parking lot small and specific parking spot per room. Friendly, helpful staff. Note: lobby is not 24/7 so plan accordingly. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this Inn.

I tested positive for Covid the day before my stay. I did not want a refund, just a credit for a future stay. Management denied my request, telling me I should have canceled before I even knew I had Covid. Thanks for nothing, won’t be back.

Quaint boutique Inn with classic Carmel charm, rooms with balcony or patio; located just a short walk to the village shops and restaurants.
Last minute stay in Carmel by the Sea. Called the hotel and the agent at the front desk was very kind and very efficient at helping me. She was just about to close up but was able to figure out some last minute details with Sergio the GM and they got me in. Super easy process, GM checked in with me in the morning to make sure everything went well, rooms were clean and spacious, I would 100% recommend this Inn. The location is also walking distance to everything!

A lovely little motel in the centre of Carmel. The staff are friendly and the room was comfortable. The breakfast was good. The terraced area to sit and eat breakfast in the sun was also nice. There is a hotel under construction across the road and our room faced it. We were awoke at 6.45 by trucks and vehicles parking and reversing, although they didn’t start work until after that. It probably would just be courteous for the motel to mention this on the booking details. Having said that we would return as we loved the location.
