At Best Western Carmel's Town House Lodge, guests consistently praise the walkable, central location near Ocean Avenue and the beach, along with friendly, helpful staff, while opinions vary on room comfort, noise levels, and the age of the property.
Many find rooms clean or newly updated, though some report missed cleaning and housekeeping only every other day. Facilities are basic, with free but tight parking, an unheated small pool, and a shared upper deck for sunset views. Breakfast reviews are inconsistent, ranging from great to mediocre with limited variety or seating. Expect a straightforward base in Carmel with solid essentials and a few trade-offs.

Location location location! Easy walk to Ocean Avenue where you’ll find all the restaurants (Mission Bistro!), galleries, tasting rooms and shopping. Plenty of free parking, clean efficient little rooms that have been upgraded. For the price, it’s perfect. There are cute flower-covered bungalows across the street for twice the $$ - I chatted with a lady staying there who said they were run down…so, don’t judge the Best Western, it’s an adequate, comfortable stay for the short time you’ll be in the room. Pro tip - if it’s foggy and you crave sunshine, drive into Carmel Valley for wine tasting at Folklore then go a few miles further to Carmel Valley Village where there are a dozen tasting room with beautiful Mountain View’s.

Overall, it was an average stay. The room was nice and spacious, but the bathroom was quite small, and the water pressure was a bit weak. The pool wasn't usable during our visit. The location was convenient and close to everything. Nothing particularly stood out, but it was adequate for a short stay.

Great location within walking distance of several restaurants & downtown Carmel. Wonderful 2nd-floor deck with a view of the Pacific. The room was clean & location was safe. The staff was friendly & helpful. We selected this facility for its more reasonably priced accommodations than most found in Carmel. We needed a clean room & safe location for leaving our luggage and sleeping in. We didn't spend much time otherwise there. While there is parking for all rooms, the spaces are tight to get in & out of. We DON'T recommend the continental breakfast. The coffee was watery, the eggs were runny & the sausage was greasy. There are several nearby breakfast locations within walking distance. One of our favorites is the Village Corner (Delores & 6th). We would stay here again for the reasons already stated.

Location great. The room was updated and nice. Bath had great shower. We had a king room which was very tight. There wasn't a reading chair although there was a desk chair. It was very clean. No A/C and it did get warm in there despite being late October. Most rooms are up a flight of stairs and there is no elevator. Since my wife and I have mobility issues, it was very difficult to get our luggage up and down and they made no offer to help us with luggage. Breakfast was meager. Cereal choices were terrible and they did have scrambled eggs, bacon and waffle iron but looked it over and went out for breakfast. Overall, very clean, room updated but facility worn, breakfast weak and service minimal.

This hotel surprised us. The rooms are clean and very comfortable, bathrooms have been recently redecorated which makes it feel slightly more luxurious. Care has been taken to make the hotel look cosy (flowers, etc) so it doesn’t feel depressing. Breakfast is great, lots of variety. Very functional and comfortable, would recommend it as a less pricey option in Carmel.

There was a huge ball of hair in our bathroom when we arrived and urine on the seats. HOWEVER the manager was sooooo helpful and apologetic and honestly embarrassed. They did a clean the next day and all was well. Otherwise, all very comfortable minus the noise. Perhaps it was just because of where our room was located (next to an exterior door to the outdoor courtyard) but both mornings we were woken up at 7am to really loud conversations - the second day being cleaning staff having a conversation in the stairwell outside our room. I hate complaining. But for $360/night just was hoping for a bit more.

The front end manager was super nice and very helpful. The room was ok, definitely nothing fancy. It was clean and well kept. The walls are paper thin and I woke up to a lady shouting German to her iPhone during a parking lot speaker phone call home. The bed and pillows are absolutely terrible. The most uncomfortable things I have ever slept on. Overall, it was ok for the price.

When we first arrived check in was very fast. However the first room given to us had urine in the toilet, dry urine in the toilet and a good amount of black long hair on the bathroom floor. It was clearly not cleaned. We were given another room right away after showing the staff the issues. It just made us question how clean the next room was. Also the pillows should be upgraded. We couldn’t sleep both nights because they were terrible and lumpy. It’s in a good location. No microwave available even upon request.

Good location, easy to walk around! The guy at the front desk was very hospitable, the room was nice and modern-looking. However upon entering the room, there were flies coming in from the window. There were a few dead bugs that weren’t cleaned up by staff and other details that made it evident that staff did not clean properly.

Check-in went well, the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The property was nice, and although there was parking for guests, it was definitely tight! The room was bare necessities, but was fine as we didnt spend much time in the room. The mattress was a bit on the firm side, but it was fine as well. There was construction happening on a building across the street, so sleeping in wasn't really an option as construction started early in the mornings unfortunately. Also, trash pick up is on Monday mornings just an fyi, lol so it did get a bit noisy. We also had an issue with our neighbors being super loud (arguing?!) at 1am and ended up having to call the police out to do a check on them (definitely NOT the hotels problem, just made for a long night). Other than that, the balcony was fun to sit and have a glass of wine on and the view was nice. Location was awesome as it was just a short walk to the beach, and to town.

The bathroom was small but clean. The free breakfast was ok and parking was available for free. ONE BIG MINUS - we booked the room ahead and the room was freezing cold! The heater took half of the night to bring up the temperature and this really spoiled our stay.

Great location and conveniently located near many shops and great restaurants within walking distance! Hotel was clean, rooms were spacious and bathroom was very nice. The only reason I gave them 4/5 stars is because the shower pressure within my room (103) was extremly low. For some reason, if you turned the lever all the way to "hot", the pressure was okay, but if you wanted semi-warm water (turning the lever to middle), the pressure would go down. Obviously, I did not want scorchign hot water, so it was a bit of a nuissance to shower under warm, low pressure water. I think this is an easy fix if the staff got a maintenance guy to fix this. We were here just for one night so I did not have an opportunity to address this to staff in morning because we left early and this is not a 24-hour staffed facility.

Also, trash pick up is on Monday mornings just an fyi, lol so it did get a bit noisy. We also had an issue with our neighbors being super loud (arguing?!) at 1am and ended up having to call the police out to do a check on them (definitely NOT the hotels problem, just made for a long night). Other than that, the balcony was fun to sit and have a glass of wine on and the view was nice. Location was awesome as it was just a short walk to the beach, and to town.
Check-in went well, the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The property was nice, and although there was parking for guests, it was definitely tight!

The Town House Lodge is an old building which has been updated as best it can. The bathroom has the original bathtub sink structure with new hardware. They should have added grab bars for the shower when it was remodeled. We were advised that our room would not be cleaned during our 2 day stay "so that we would not be disturbed". The breakfast gets rated a C minus. It had only 8 seats. You were invited to take your food and hike up a flight of stairs for additional seating. The hotel's best feature is its location very near Ocean Drive and walkable to shops and restaurants.

Great place. Pool is not heated. Breakfast was perfect. Location is great. The beach was amazing. Could do a better job with recycling in the entire town and hotel.

It’s a 2 stars hotel. They did not have a housekeeper everyday. The coffee and food selections were horrible. It was not. Relaxing experience staying at the property. Never again

We were there for one night. We were pleased with our stay. Close to Main Street (stores) and a few blocks away to Carmel Beach! One thing, Breakfast could use a bit more variety.

Great location within walking distance of several restaurants & downtown Carmel. Wonderful 2nd-floor deck with a view of the Pacific. The room was clean & location was safe. The staff was friendly & helpful. We selected this facility for its more reasonably priced accommodations than most found in Carmel. We needed a clean room & safe location for leaving our luggage and sleeping in. We didn't spend much time otherwise there. While there is parking for all rooms, the spaces are tight to get in & out of. We DON'T recommend the continental breakfast. The coffee was watery, the eggs were runny & the sausage was greasy. There are several nearby breakfast locations within walking distance. One of our favorites is the Village Corner (Delores & 6th). We would stay here again for the reasons already stated.

This hotel does not seems nothing like a Best western. It is old, they do not clean the rooms, the complimentary breakfast is not good,only scrambled eggs, waffles, you have to ask for things the employees hide the jelly, peanut butter, yoghurt is frozen and not ready, not enough variety of bread. I do not recomend this hotel, it is expensibe and not worth it. :(

For the price I was underwhelmed by the experience: small basic room; no microwave; a substandard coffee brewer; a large flat screen but only network TV and a controller with dying batteries so could not turn down or mute sound. Again, underwhelmed.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were treated with such kindness, warmth, and professionalism. The staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of throughout our stay. The room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and inviting. Everything was so well maintained, and we truly felt at home. It’s honestly a shame we only stayed for one night (8/4/26) because we would have happily stayed much longer! also it is located in a prime location, walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay such a pleasant and memorable experience. We truly appreciated the outstanding hospitality and would absolutely love to come back again. Highly recommended!
