Top Carmel Riviera Hotel Reviews

El Castell Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff! Convenient location, clean, great amenities, & lots of pillows!"

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for families. We had a one bedroom space with 2 beds separated by a door which was nice with kids. The indoor pool was wonderful but there was a LOT of chlorine in the water. Service was largely automated at the hotel. There was an attendant in the office during regular hours but everything basic was handled remotely with chatbots. It all worked seemlessly though."
