"The only complaint I have is that the HVAC/fan system in the room is a bit outdated. There is not a setting to allow the fan to operate continuously providing air flow; it shuts off when the thermostat temperature is reached. The property is very conveniently located and the restaurant and hotel staff were wonderful!"

"Property was so well appointed and very chic. Complimentary breakfast was so much more than expected. Eggs, breads, salads, fresh smoothies and so much more. Everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean. Beds were comfortable. Loved drinking a glass of wine snuggled in a blanket by the outdoor fire pits. Definitely will be staying at the Stilwell again on my next trip to Carmel!"

"Staff was very kind and helpful. It was very peaceful and quiet and very beautiful to sit and watch the sunset or even take a dinner walk. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. We had a shower water overflow problem at night and they made sure to get us to another room right away and help us with our bags while moving over rooms. Great place and i would 100% stay here again. Thank you to the great staff for making this such a pleasant stay!"
