Centrally located in the village of Carmel, California, Pine Inn - Carmel provides guests with a delightful combination of elegance, charm and serenity within minutes of Carmel's beautiful sandy...

The location is great, in the heart of downtown, 7min walk to the beach. There is a free small private parking lot across street for the overnight guest. We arrive just after check-in time, so find a parking spot. Not sure whether there would be spot if arrive late at night. You can tell from the amenity that the hotel is pretty old. There is no elevator, but the front desk offer service to carry the luggage to the room. The room is small and beautiful, the bed is cozy.

Staff are amazing, stunning views, great location. We had ants in room that they tried to address but still had them and at check out the employee tried to explain why that happens. Disappointed to have that for the price regardless of the reason.

Featuring massage services, garden and views of sea, The Jabberwock Bed & Breakfast is located in Monterey, less than 1 km from San Carlos State Beach.

What’s not to like! An absolutely wonderful place to stay, so much surpassed our expectations. Beautifully decorated, well thought out communal areas, comfy rooms, wonderful staff. Super little complimentary quirks such as fresh cookies and tea 24/7, filtered water in rooms which you can swap in when empty, brandy in rooms for a night cap and a rabbit hole full of soft drinks for guests to help themselves to,

Located in the heart of Monterey's historic Cannery Row, InterContinental The Clement Monterey boasts elegant accommodations, on-site dining options and modern amenities.

Beautiful hotel. Awesome location with great views. Hotel staff was amazing and super helpful, especially Jenny in Housekeeping. When I lost my ID, and called when already out of the area, Jenny was on it and got back to me immediately. My ID was found and returned within a couple days. Thank you all for a wonderful and memorable stay:) and thank you, Jenny for going above and beyond, you are an absolute angel <3

    Attention to details, some design touches, amenities in the lobby and the room. The buffet breakfast services was good, bread was good. Free bicycles was nice but the staffs didn’t let us know until we discovered when we checked out. The location is unbeatable.

    Unimpressively mediocre room for a ridiculous 5 star boutique hotel prize. I come frequently to Carmel and check out new locations to stay. This place will become one of the more unpleasant memories.
