Top Northwest Carmel Hotel Reviews

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"great location"

Carmel Bay View Inn

8/10 Good

"Great clean hotel. Walking distance to the downtown and beautiful ocean. The parking at the hotel is VERY tight, I struggled with that a bit until I found a spot I could get into. I also thought it was noisy at night with people walking by room and talking. The next morning I realized the window had been opened all night so that would have helped. Overall it was a great place to stay."

Hofsas House Hotel

8/10 Good

"THis is a really sweet hotel. It's older so my ratings reflect that. That being said, my room was huge and had a small kitchen area with a microwave and fridge. There was a sitting area and large windows, so I drank coffee facing the ocean! The bathroom was also large and had pink tile. For an older hotel, it was clean and spacious. Make sure to request a room on a level that has access - there is no elevator. It's close to downtown and walking distance to many excellent restaurants and galleries. The staff is very helpful and nice."
