What guests think

At Carmel Beach Hotel, guests consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff, the quiet residential setting one block from the beach, and modern, comfortable rooms, with perks like in-room breakfast, a shuttle, fire pits, and a cozy on-site bar.

Downtown is a hilly 15-20 minute walk. Common gripes include low shower water pressure, limited TV options, and some rooms with early-morning noise or limited privacy near the kitchen or walkways. A few guests noted bar prices, parking clarity, or resort fee surprises, and isolated service or maintenance issues. Expect a polished, beach-adjacent boutique stay with thoughtful perks and a few quirks.

Excellent hotel. Absolutely excellent service and very comfortable and clean. The rooms and bathrooms are amazing and worth it, we will be returning. However, the SPA WAS HORRIBLE!!! Waste of money. It was clean but the massage and body scrub should not even be considered a "massage and scrub". It did not last as long as it claimed it would, and 2/3 of the service consisted of being rubbed by hot towels. The scrub was weak and extremely overpriced, along with the massage which barely lasted 20 minutes (when both services were supposed to last 50 minutes). Paid $550 for 2 people . Overall, we are very upset with spa service and will not be going there again.

Buyer beware. Tiny staff is first rate in trying to provide a quality experience but facilities are inadequate. Surprised to find out there is no regular tv service. Only bizarre Samsung tv. TVs are too old to be compatible with iPhones so no chance to mirror. Staff apologetic but “owners” not willing to provide basic cable. No indoor facilities to gather to have breakfast. If it is cool or cold they are happy to provide blankets. Truly amazing. There are heaters but not really sufficient. No dressers or shelves in the room so no way to unpack unless you lay stuff across the floor.

The Carmel Beach Hotel is located south of Ocean Ave. it is one block from the beach in a beautiful neighborhood. The hotel itself is well appointed and very clean. Nice bar and breakfast served on the patio. It could improve the TV cable selection and the water flow is too restrictive.

This quaint beauty is off the beaten downtown path, close to the beach and walkable to the sand. Everything about this resort makes us wish to return. The only confusing element is the promise of a downtown shuttle yet on the night we stayed, the day of the Car week exhibition, their shuttle was being serviced and was never available. Why this was the timing and no alternate arrangement was made is puzzling to be sure. The e-bikes are a wonderful feature but in need of service. Carmel is extremely hilly and riding into town was a challenge even with the e-bikes. The rooms are beautifully appointed, the grounds are lovely and well maintained. Staff responsive to our requests to light firepit and use bikes. We plan to return next summer.

Underwhelming & Overpriced - Not 'Pet Friendly' We booked Carmel Beach Hotel because it was listed as pet friendly and looked great. Unfortunately, that description is totally misleading. They charged $273 for a dog ($250 pet fee + tax on the pet fee) with zero amenities or effort to make us feel welcome. No water bowl, treats, or pet-friendly vibe—just a HUGE extra charge. I wasn’t aware of the huge pet fee when booking, and when I was informed and asked to cancel, the manager said we’d be charged for one of our two nights. Not great customer service. The room was good-sized and had a soaking tub, but the water pressure was low, the carpet was dingy, and the noise level was unacceptable—you can hear everything: conversations, rolling suitcases over the bricks, even raccoons fighting outside over the garbage. Room 6 is especially bad as it's right above housekeeping/maintenance. Also, the window coverings don’t block light, so I had an early wake-up call from the sun. The property is okay, but the “lawn” is fake plastic turf. The beach is close, but if you want to walk to town, it’s 15–20 minutes in the dark—no sidewalks or streetlights. They did offer a car service until 9:45PM. Bottom line: it’s not pet-friendly, not welcoming and relaxing, and definitely not worth the price. There are much, much nicer hotels in Carmel for this price point. Wouldn't stay again

We had a lovely stay here. The staff were extremely helpful and very kind! I loved the hotel is off the Main Street area so it was nice and quiet. The bed was comfy, and I am a super picky sleeper. We did notice the water pressure was not good in the shower but the new remodel is aesthetically pleasing. Overall a great stay!

The staff is awesome. Our difficulties were with the bathroom. The tub would not drain and a repair man was called to fix it. The water in the shower is barely a trickle and comes from a non-movable shower head. So, getting the soap off my body was near impossible. Also, only one hook in the bathroom. No place to hang more than a single towel.

The staff was amazing and the hotel was cozy and welcoming. We had a balcony where we could sit and enjoy the morning view of the ocean and the evening sunset. Also a fireplace in our room and a very comfortable bed. Highly recommend the Carmel Beach Hotel.

Location is incredible and the hotel and grounds are very nice, as were the staff! Would have been perfect except for the location of our room. We had a small ground level room that faced a small Tree covered courtyard, people would walk right by our window to get to the next building, so we didn't have any privacy and if we closed the shades it was dark and encapsulating. Would recommend some secondary shades that allow light in but provide privacy. There were some string lights in the little courtyard as well that would shine in the windows all night, were told they were on a timer, though I don't believe they ever turned off at night. I wish we had asked for a different room. At checkout I needed to pull up my original booking receipt to have them charge me the accurate resort fees previously agreed to. I would absolutely stay here again however! would just be mindful of my room location next time.

Not walking distance to downtown Carmel. (20-30 minute walk uphill.) 1) Be aware that this property does not have a parking spot for all of their rooms so if you return after they are full you are on your own for parking your car. 2)The television in my room did not work properly taking two or three attempts to select anything. I gave up. 3)The rooms have nice big windows for lots of light but they really limit privacy as other guests walk close to the windows.

Great spot, okay service, staff needs training. This was a splurge for us we were expecting a red carpet rollout - and the staff was accommodating but - my mom requested a bathtub room shortly after booking - it was confirmed the room we got included that. Day of we get there - neither room has it. We do a switch and swap and end up getting told rather firmly we'll be charged for a cleaning fee due to a room that was occupied needing to be cleaned up. Overall the feeling from the staff and managers on this was that we had mad a mistake not them. Which frankly felt bad. Otherwise it was great little spot - 1 block up and around the corner from the stairs on the beach. Not on the water but as close as you can get basically. They had ebikes which was a cool perk, although they did seem outdated. Still super fun! Didn't get a chance to try out the gym. Some pros were they were super chill about the service animal. And overall the place had good vibes. Just the mixup at the beginning left a sour taste the whole stay. They need to take customer service classes, including the manger herself... Wasn't Bad, Wasn't great..

The fireplace in our room did not work, and every day we asked them to fix while receiving promises that it will. Never happened during the 4 nights we were there. This was annoying as we paid extra to find a place with a fireplace. What's worse, is that the fireplace spontaneously turned on sometime during night which woke us up due to the intense heat (~2:30am during the 2nd night there). We couldn't turn off the fireplace and there was no one available to help. We couldn't sleep with the heat and the air conditioning turned on wasn't strong enough to help. Next day they had maintenance go in to find a way to turn it off. The management was unresponsive to requests to correct or compensate us for the uncomfortable stay.

They also gave us welcome drinks and had complimentary mocktails each day and little snacks. Their popcorn was delicious!! They also offer turn down service each night and left cookies for us in our room. Breakfast was a separate charge and depended on what you got. For breakfast they have the option to have it delivered to the room or you can eat it outside in their seating area which is also really nice! Overall we loved our stay and cannot wait to come back!!
