Everything was great, the room was excellent, towels lovely and soft, bed large and firm, super clean and well appointed. The continental breakfast was provided in a nice basket to the door and I really enjoyed it on the outdoor patio, eggs, pastry, fruit and juice. Close to downtown Carmel, a mile from the sea. There was a cheese and wine from 4-6 which was very pleasant again I ate it on the patio. Nice fire pit and heaters etc, hot tub but I didn’t use it but looked hot and clean. everywhere was super clean and well maintained. Honestly, a perfect one night stay for me but would have been happy to stay longer.

The characteristic of Carmel is that at night time there are no street lights, lights comes from the restaurants and the stores open till late. It is a very charming town , must see it.

Carmel by the Sea is a treasure!

Carmel by the Sea is a treasure! Just walking Ocean Avenue and looking in the shops is such fun. And by all means walk the length of the beach as the sand gets easier to walk if you walk toward the left. And of course see and enjoy the charming architecture with so many story book houses.

A lovely town full of bars/restaurants boutique shops and galleries. Very walkable if you happen to be young and fit. We really liked Hog’s Breath Inn either for dinner (which was delicious and faultless) or afternoon drinks at the bar and the service was fabulous.

This is a beautiful upmarket town, unspoiled by high rise buildings and bad planning decisions. This was the third time we had visited and it has never disappointed. Quaint houses and shops, clean streets and wonderful beaches. Plenty of on street parking and friendly people. A must visit if you are in Northern California, as is the 17 mile, picturesque, drive between Carmel and Monterey.

Very beautiful and quaint but painfully overpriced as a whole. You can’t get a scoop of ice cream for less than $10. Only go if money is not an object at all. Expect to spend $50+/person for every meal.

Considering how expensive Carmel is, I thought this was a great value place. The bed was really comfy, water pressure was great too. Best part was that the room had a smart TV with Hulu included too! The hotel owners were very kind and friendly, making it extra special for us on our post engagement trip. Breakfast was fresh cooked for us too! Also was walking distance to good restaurants - would recommend Jeju and Edwin’s in Carmel!

Quality hotel. Friendly staff. Complimentary afternoon cheese and wine on the house. Popcorn in the microwave and breakfast. Quality linen and lovely room in the heart of carmel by the sea. Took electric bikes from mad dogs and englishmen just one block away, which was well worth the day out cycling the 17 mile drive away the coast into monterey.

It's a gem. I truly love that area the Carmel. River, There was one of the biggest gathering places for native Tribes. You're in the most perfect place. Because you can go to the beach, you can go to The Valley. You could easily go down the coast. You easily make it into Monterey. And it's really a beautiful place to stay.

A super cute hotel with a nice cosy and warm feeling. The location was fantastic, right in the centre of all the Carmel fun! It is a very safe town and the parking on-site was a great plus. Staff was friendly and chatty! We really loved our stay at Hofsa House and fell in love with Carmel. We will definitely be back!
