Carmel Mission Inn

"Very nice place"

Hotel Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location...great staff...highly recommend."

La Playa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best stay in Carmel hands down! My wife and our two poodles (Bali and Cookie) had the pleasure in staying at The La Playa Hotel where we were treated like royalty, atmosphere is out of this world, and our view of the Pacific was heavenly. Love this place! From a recent upgrade in 2023, we can tell our room was modern, shower pressure was amazing, and overall room was spacious (as it’s a pet friendly hotel). They even blessed us with salted caramels and the doggies with special treats. The La Playa Hotel has killer breakfasts items and the coffee is smooth like Sunday mornings. Area around the hotel was super safe. Reminded me of the 1950’s where you can walk every where without a care. Except for the hanging caterpillars that might secretly attack. If you do bring your pets, you have to do the Mad Dogs and Englishman e-bike with side car. We parked ours near the unloading zone and most of the guests said "Hello" to our doggies. Then travel along the Scenic Road and go with the flow. Overall, we loved everything about our stay!"
