Stilwell Hotel

Stilwell Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"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!"

"Fantastic location. We walked to the beach, restaurants and shops. The Inn is super cute and clean. Breakfast and the breakfast attendant were both great. Helpful staff snd beautiful flowers and decor. Street parking could be frustrating we were there on a holiday weekend so that may not be the norm. Would definitely recommend this Inn to others and we would stay here again."

Carmel Bay View Inn

8/10 Good
"This is a large facility and we were fortunate to have a 4th floor room which has a nice (partial) view of the ocean. We were within walking distance of downtown Carmel which was very helpful; we could leave the car parked in front of the room. The room was comfortably large, not cramped at all. We liked having a luggage rack for both of us--that doesn't usually happen. The breakfast was very nice--both hot and cold foods. Being on the 4th floor, an elevator was extremely helpful."
