    I loved our stay here! I would say staying in this hotel was probably my favorite part of our visit to this town. We stayed in room 33 which I highly recommend requesting that room. It had a extra comfortable bed and a balcony that you can see out to the distant ocean on. Had a small separate kitchen are that was a bonus. And the doors... !!! The Dutch doors were perfect for us with our toddler but also wanting the sunshine and street views while we hung out. Walking distance to delicious restaurants and shops. We actually walked to Flahertys and back for dinner. The breakfast they have is nice and simple. Like I said we loved it and will be staying again in the future.

    Hofsas house is an excellent location. We traveled with our dog. Our room was a basic room. So no fireplace, queen bed very small room. I commend the cleaning staff. They do a great job. The room is spotless. The only complaint is the smell of the cleaning products is not an appealing scent. I put out a box of baking soda that seemed to help or the scent eventually dissipated. It sounds like the other rooms may be larger and with fireplaces. The staff are helpful and welcoming. I'd stay in another room next time and explore the other options. The breakfast is adequate. If you want a good location to stay with your dog I recommend it. Explore the room options if you want a larger unit with a bigger bed. The rates are fair.

    We spent the weekend here at Hofsas house with our 2 little doggies and our stay was so pleasant! It isnt fancy at all but have such a cute vibe. The room was very clean.. staff was super friendly especially Guadalupe at the front desk was very helpful! only thing con is the fridge/microwave is in the bathroom lol We would definitely stay here again :)

    Caught the beautiful sunset outside when we arrived

    Absolutely adorable hotel!!!! Great location because it is walking distance from all the nearby businesses/cutest village and a 10min walk to the beach! We got a great room on the second floor with an amazing view!! The sunset was beautiful from there (and we even ate breakfast out there because it was such a lovely spot). I didn't give it 5 stars because I had a really hard time sleeping with it being such a "breeze friendly" atmosphere. I loved the cooler weather but it was cold at night (the blankets were warm enough). You freeze coming out of the shower (which the shower head is very low and there is no conditioner because it's included with the shampoo. But it smells good and their lotion smells great too). The water does heat up really fast though. The pillows were very thin but they do give you several. The hair dryer was excellent and very needed! The part I couldn't stand was the strong smell of cleaning supplies and what seemed like urine in the bathroom. It was overpowering whenever I stepped into the bathroom. However, the view was great and the half doors are very unique to Carmel and worked great for when we wanted a breeze to come in. Breakfast pastries were delicious and yogurt and bananas were needed. Their decorations are absolutely beautiful (including all the flowers and plants)!!! All the staff is so friendly too and helpful (when I needed water to refill my water bottle, they refilled it for me).

    I adore this hotel. It has good reviews for a reason. Service: excellent; everyone was so nice and accommodating Room: very comfortable & I love the Dutch doors for the ocean breeze. Bed was great - slept well. Extra bonus for them being dog friendly so my fur baby could join us Location: sweet!! Right in town so we could walk to the bakery or restaurants as needed. Food: light breakfast included with your stay: variety of pastries, fruit, coffee and OJ; decent for being free Bottom line if you're looking for a cute hotel that's dog friendly, this is the spot.

    A very cute and quaint European rustic cottage bed and breakfast hotel in Carmel! Location was on the edge of downtown Carmel - but still walkable distance to the center! I loved the pink aesthetic, very picturesque! Floors and stairs are a bit of a maze, but that adds to its charm. Walls are a bit thin, so sound is able to travel pretty well between your neighboring units. The furniture also also adorable - but they could use some refreshing and some serious deep cleaning. They also provide breakfast and coffee daily, which included Danishes, muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, and orange juice! Our room also had a fireplace and they provided starter logs as well, which was a nice bonus! There's also a microwave, coffee machine, mini fridge, utensils, and plates/bowls!

    Dog-friendly, cozy, family-owned inn with character. We stayed here recently and, while it was a little noisy right outside of our room in the mornings with housekeeping set up next door, we enjoyed our time here. The inn is in a convenient location to walk to the restaurants and shops in town. The continental breakfast each morning included fresh pastries from a local bakery, juice, yogurt, fruit, and a good pot of coffee which we brought back to our room to enjoy. The pool is small but good enough for my husband to swim some short laps. I especially loved how dog-friendly they are! They even gave us a collapsible water bowl that we brought with us for lovely walks along the beach.

    It is one of the more unique & pleasant hotels to stay at with only a few minor inconveniences. Located at a quieter part of downtown, the Hofsas House resembles a fabled Dutch architecture from the 19th century, with wall murals to match. The main parking lot is located at the back of the building, this can be accessed via an entrance adjacent to the office. Entrance is narrow & has a precipitous drop that can be frightening or thrilling, depending on your cardiac conditions. If you missed this entrance like us, at the end of the hotel there is another hidden unmarked driveway, it's actually a 1-way exit for the main parking lot! There are also 4-5 spots directly in front of the hotel on San Carlos St, but those were usually taken. Additional street parking were plentiful nearby. The office/front lobby is small but has a cozy comfy atmosphere, with inviting couches & fire place. Here can be a cozy place to enjoy coffee or HH beverages during happier times. The lady at the office was very friendly and gave clear and precise instructions. We got an ocean view King room on 4th floor, there was no elevator. Luckily we only had to drag our dunnage up 1 flight of stairs as we parked on San Carlos. If you park at the main lot beneath you will have to scale several flights of stairs to reach the upper floors. Like most Carmel hotels, "ocean view" essentially meant a glimpse of the sea, but we knew that from past experiences. Our room didn't have a private balcony, but the view from the outside corridor was still lovely. We loved the plantation shutters on the windows as well as the unique Dutch door, it was the first time I have ever seen one. There was also a common area on our floor that serves as a sun deck, with outdoor tables & chairs to boot. It's a great place to sip your drinks while catching some virus-killing UV lights or just simply admiring the sunset. The reg king room was adequate though not spacious. Naturally the bed took up most of the room, an old fashion TV stand/dresser was a bit obstructive. Illumination was provided by 3 table lamps, they should consider recess lights to free up more precious counter space for guests. A small folding leaf table & 2 chairs served as the dining/work station. One of the leaf did not work and thus we had to eat our meals in a confined fashion. Again the table lamp prob needs to go. The bed itself has a relatively firm & comfy mattress. The pillows were a bit lumpy, thin and relatively small. You will prob need at least 2 of those per guests. Bathroom was quite interesting, it's where you will find a mini fridge, coffee maker, coffee mugs & wine glasses. The towels were of descent qualities & were artfully folded. A small wicker basket contained cute items such as shampoos, soaps, lotions, makeup removal wipes & small Purell sanitizing pads. Shower was hot and had good pressure, keep in mind we were there during slow times. The walk-in shower was pentangular and small, if you are 5'7" your head might hit the shower head, if your are 6'3" you will need to stoop once inside. The caddy area was tiny and can only hold bar soaps and small containers. Our room was located next to the stairs so there were the usual foot traffic noises. In the crack of dawn there were more street noises as the big garbage/recycle trucks announced their presence. I found this fairy consistent in Carmel regardless days of the week. Breakfast was prepaid for and amazingly they actually served it even during this COVID crisis. It consisted of basic pastries such as danish, juices, fruits (banana, apple and tangerines), Yoplait, a jug of piping hot coffee with packages of creamer and sugar. It wasn't great but I though it adequate and artfully arranged on a tray so you can carry it back to your room. Overall we quite relished the hospitalities and the uniqueness of Hofsas House, will def consider returning.

    We are a family of four traveling with our dog, and we stayed at Hofsa's House 2 weeks ago. We stayed in the family suite. It was the cutest little cottage, with every amenity that you would need while you were away from home. They didn't miss a thing! It was light and bright with a cute Carmel style decor inside it was like our own private little Airbnb. It is also in the perfect location, a few streets away from the main street... So it is not too loud. The breakfast in the morning was very good, and the customer service is very good as well. when we return to Carmel, we will only be staying here!

    My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights and had an amazing time. Michelle at the front desk was an absolute angel and gave a run down of places to try and Carmel - all great recommendations! The location was perfect because it was away from all the craziness, but still very central. It was clean, charming, and beautiful. We loved it

    I was shocked to see some of the lower reviews for this inn! My fiancé and I tend to be a bit on the pickier side when picking our lodging and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! This was a last minute trip for us and we didn't want to break the bank on lodging so the price point here was perfect for us. The inn was incredibly convenient to the wineries in Carmel valley and it was very cute with a German theme that we found adorable. The staff was very helpful at check in and there is plenty of parking in the back which was very convenient for us. Bed was comfy, room was clean and had a large balcony that we enjoyed sitting out on. They are also dog friendly! My favorite part of the room was that the bathroom had heated floors! That was such a nice surprise and did not go unnoticed! We will definitely be back for our next quick trip to the wineries :)

    We planned a last minute getaway to Carmel and I found this place on Yelp. They offered and gave me the 10% discount advertised on Yelp. Everyone at the front counter was super friendly! We booked the poolside room with single queen bed. The room was cute. The pool is heated! Everything is in walking distance which we loved. We had no trouble with parking on the property so we didn't need to find parking on the street. The only warning is that it is such an intimate place that we could hear everything from our room but we were hardly in the room so it did not bother us, especially for the low price we paid! Breakfast is complimentary and just needs to be picked up in the morning from the front office. It was filling. Everyone was very friendly.

While it has an intital…read morehigh end appearance and price point, the Stilwell Hotel lacks the some of the essentials of a true luxury stay. - Staff: during check in, we were helped by a tall blonde young man with a deep voice . He has 0 customer service skills and should not be customer facing. He had minimal eye contact, cold demeanor as if we were bothering him, mumbling, and just overall unpleasant. He had the demeanor of a bro cashier at a GNC. There was a guy next to him which I assume was IT or something since he was messing with something at the front. There was a woman who brought us a welcome glass of champagne, and Angel - who gave us a brief tour and brought our luggage to the room. Angel and the woman were nice. Champagne was good, however I wish they offered non alcoholic options like a juice or sparking cider. Throughout our stay, we encountered many staff on the property in passing - not a single smile from any of them. Even the housekeeping staff at a BestWestern are nicer than the staff here. - Room: gorgeous but small. Booking a room for 2 does not just mean having a big enough bed, but actually room for 2 humans to move around. There is not enough room to lay your luggage out anywhere, and the bathroom was narrow. I would've liked to have a towel bar by the sink instead of having a silly rock be what holds the towel up. The room is aesthetically stunning and the bed was very comfortable. I loved the ambient lighting options and motion activated under-lighting. I liked that we had a balcony. I enjoyed the soaps / lotions, as well all the nespresso in the room. Air conditioning worked well. Room was very clean. - Parking: parking was easy in the day. We lucked out at night but guests arriving after 8pm had nowhere to park, which we witnessed first hand. We saw a guest told the staff "the lot is full", and the staff said "just take the EV spot". What about your guests with EVs who need to charge their cars for the night? On another day, a large car was parked in the entrance into the hotel (not the street) and stayed there for 15 min which blocked entry for everyone else - i wish the staff came out to inform the guest that they couldn't leave their car the. The main lot is very tight with slim spots and awkward parking angles, but the back lot was good . While this wasn't an issue for me, I can imagine coming off of a long flight, finally getting to the hotel at night, and being frustrated at the lack of available parking. - Breakfast: this is the main reason we wanted to stay here. The breakfast itself is good, not great. The French toast, juice, chia pudding and eggs are best things - everything else is okay as I found some things to be stale such as the waffles and muffins. I did enjoy how the food is displayed, and there lots of variety. Staff is constantly refilling items so you never have to worry about things running out, regardless of when you arrive for breakfast. Breakfast is much later than it is at other hotels, and with a small window (8-10am), which can be an issue if you are planning to eat early prior to a hike. 2 staff stay in the area however they just stare at you from the corner of the room. No smile, no good morning. The first day, I felt like we were being stared at as if we were freeloaders sneaking in for free breakfast. It was very uncomfortable. Not sure if they were staring because we're younger than a majority of the other guests but there really is no excuse. I think they should do a wrist band system or something if they insist on eyeing people. Property- they have a cafe by the breakfast area where you can order hand crafted pizza. We didn't do this but it smelled great. The location is convenient with lots of restaurants within walking distance . As a hotel guest, you get a discount at the Foray restaurant, which is closed mondays and Tuesdays Overall: Beautiful, but I don't think I'd stay again. For the price point and all the amenities, I expected to be in love with this hotel. At other hotels with this price point, I'm usually like "I don't want leave!", but not here. It wasn't a bad stay, but the experience didn't match the price point. I hope they get better staff or else I could see this hotel failing in the future.

The historic building is impressive, as is the interior lobby, living room, restaurant/bar and 1st floor courtyard. Unfortunately, the guest rooms --or more specifically, Room 207 leaves a lot to be desired. As others have noted, the rooms are indeed small and in need of updating. Bed comfort is subjective. I've stayed at plenty of hotels and generally never had trouble falling asleep, but I did find both the bed and pillows to be overly firm and uncomfortable. The bigger disappointment for me was the noise. 207 is the closest room to the 2nd floor staircase landing, and there's a hallway bench right outside the room door. On multiple occasions, I had to listen to someone sitting on the bench right outside my door talking loudly on their phone before heading downstairs. The utility closet next to Room 207 also resulted in unwanted noise. And there was persistent noise coming from the alleyway directly below my room windows --loud talking, laughing, singing and coughing late into the night and early morning. The hotel staff I interacted with were all friendly and helpful and the building is ideally located in the heart of downtown Carmel. I expected more though for what worked out to be a $600 a night stay.

We explained that we were also dining at their restaurant, Aubergine (on premises) and we were hoping to be let into our room only one hour before check-in (3pm vs. 4pm), so that we could prepare ourselves properly for our 2-Michelin Star meal there at 5pm. Mind you, we also requested this when our reservation was made directly through their website (2 months in advance) + we were some of the only dinner guests at their restaurant that were spending the night. This receptionist was unbelievably rude I had to remind her that I was the guest! Later, they were able to get us in. I didn't understand why she could not be professional given their claim to service and luxury, sadly we experienced neither from her. Literally everyone else, which happened to be male, was extremely kind, attentive and helpful! ***For the price per night, the quality versus luxury ratio was not there for us.*** And with the rude, unprofessional behavior that almost guarantees no return. Hopefully they can get better staff and upgrades underway. It would be a shame to keep "letting it go" as it seems that they are doing now.

    Carmel Country Inn - In-Room Breakfast Service

    Carmel Country Inn

    We stayed at Carmel Country Inn from Friday to Sunday for a girls' trip, hoping for a relaxing and…read morerestful weekend. Unfortunately, our stay was quite disappointing. We booked one of the double rooms with a fireplace. While the room itself was fine, the walls and ceilings are extremely thin. From around 9pm to 1:00 AM, we could clearly hear footsteps from the room above us, along with conversations. It didn't seem like the guests upstairs were being intentionally disruptive -- it felt more like an issue with how the property is built and the lack of sound insulation. We did call the front desk and asked if they could notify the guests upstairs. After that, they were more mindful of their steps, which we appreciated, but we could still hear them trying to whispering. We chose this property because we were looking for a peaceful place to rest, reset, and enjoy quiet evenings. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. For the amount we paid for a weekend stay, we expected much better soundproofing and overall comfort. Sadly, we won't be returning or recommending this property to our family or friends.

    The most DARLING bed & breakfast…read more I loved the tea, coffee, and variety of delicious homemade cookies in the lobby when you check in. The homemade breakfast is amazing - warm mini-quiches, yummy pastries, yogurt & berries. Don't go crazy on the cookies and pastries here though- I did and experienced the horrible sugar crashes everyday, sob. The rooms are adorable, clean, and updated - with the most cozy beds too. The staff members are also the sweetest. Sandy is wonderful and make sure to say hi to Butters too, her adorable pup. Walkable to downtown Carmel & easy parking.
