Carmel-by-the-Sea hotellit lähellä Sunset Center

Plussat: The hotel was spotless perfect in every way breakfast lovely and the early evening wine and snacks a pleasant bonus. All the staff were attentive and very accommodating

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Location and cleanliness

Miinukset: No

Miinukset: It was extremely expensive and not good value

Plussat: Was not expecting the breakfast or the wine and cheese in the afternoon! We did not take advantage of the breakfast, but did enjoy the wine and cheese....the rooms were spotless, and very well appointed! Great boutique hotel....

Miinukset: Probably would have liked air conditioning, but easily survived it.. Also, unfortunately for our visit the fire place wasn't working....

Plussat: Breakfast was incredible, coffee was out of this world, loved the happy hour and the location was second to none! Loved that the hotel was pet friendly. Can't wait to come back.

Miinukset: No air conditioner in rooms.

Plussat: Rooms exceptionally clean and well appointed.

Miinukset: No A/C...and although windows open, there were no screens.

Miinukset: We checked into the hotel later in the evening and the staff did not tell us there’s was no hot water working in the entire hotel. The next morning when we were checking out and I politely told them the hot water in our room was not working, and she just said, “oh there isn’t hot water in our hotel right now.” No apology, no discount- nothing!! $300 a night, you get a cold shower. Never will return again.

Plussat: Well located Friendly staff Good breakfast Comfy beds

Plussat: The staff, the bed, the room design, the breakfast and the bubbles at 4pm!

Miinukset: Not a thing.

Miinukset: Loved this Place. The best hotel we have had so far on our trip. The breakfast is delicious and served on proper plates; not plastic. I absolutely recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Todella siisti iso huone, paras sänky, henkilökunta ystävällistä, aamiainen herkullista ja sijainti lähellä rantaa. Hinta-laatusuhde loistava! Suosittelen lämpimästi!

Miinukset: Ei mitään valittamista tai huomautettavaa

Plussat: Staff was exceptional. Always cheerful, always helpful. Location one block off Ocean Ave is great yet quiet.

Plussat: Breakfast and staff

Miinukset: For 500 plus dollars a night they must have air conditioners. Our climate is warmer.

Plussat: The restaurant servers were terrific: friendly and good senses of humor. Everyone at the front desk was friendly and accommodating. The dining room and sleeping rooms were nicely appointed. The restaurant’s dinner was outstanding and worthy of more than just 1 Michelin star.

Miinukset: The senior restaurant guy was socially awkward and pretentious. The bedroom was on the small side and a bit cluttered. And to have to pay extra at breakfast for oatmeal and cappuccino at these prices, when “breakfast is included” seems a bit ‘nickel and dime’-y to me... Add $10 to the room rate and let me order what I want; I’ll feel better about my stay.

Plussat: Friendly staff, location and cleanliness.

Miinukset: Breakfast that was included was not healthy! All simple carbs (bread and croissants or muffins), gluten and sugar. The eggs were the only thing that was worth eating and what was offered at cost was very expensive. We chose to eat our breakfast elsewhere every morning and spoke to others staying at the hotel who were doing the same.

Plussat: Fabulous location. Raven (?) who checked me in was terrific, and a wealth of information re: dinner, etc. With my early morning departure, I appreciated the extra effort to prepare a breakfast "to go" for me.

Miinukset: I was in Room #24. Didn't love all of the steps to get there, but other than that, my room was small, but delightful.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and efficient. Courtyard is pleasant

Miinukset: The brochure listed complimentary breakfast. But that only included 2eggs toast and coffee. There is a charge for bacon, ham, potatoes, omelet. Cheapest Glass of wine is $25. $27 for a shot of scotch Way way overpriced for what you receive

Miinukset: Breakfast offers only eggs. Reception lady suggested to have breakfast somewhere else, if I like smth different. Poker face, no guest care. Shame.

Plussat: Staff was welcoming from check in to check out.

Plussat: The location, the service and the food.

Miinukset: Suite 9 is above the restaurant and those wishing total quiet will want a different suite.

Plussat: Beautiful property. We’ll set up room. Very comfortable. The lounge was lovely

Plussat: Beautiful rooms and amenities; quiet room and fantastic bathroom with sunken tub. We will certainly stay here again!

Plussat: The facility and so close to the beach

Miinukset: We had a great visit thank you, see you again soon

Plussat: I loved the gardens and patio, it's truly a beautiful building.

Miinukset: I stayed in room 16 and there was a smell.

Plussat: Location, location, location. Could hear the waves crashing from my room.

Plussat: The location was near the beach and the gardens were very nice.

Plussat: Close to the beach, the staff can provide towels and portable chairs to make use of the seaside. Coffee is available at the lobby all the time to take out. Rooms are fitted with gas burners with a fireplace effect.

Miinukset: Taking into account the price paid per night, the breakfast should be much better. The pastries were generally pre-packed but not even fresh, the choice for alternatives was minimal and the breakfast extras were limited. This was truly the only disappointment of my stay. The hotel is also located a bit far from the center, although the hotel does provide flashlights as the streets are very dark, walking could be an issue for some.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. The property is pretty. The employees were very courteous.

Miinukset: I was not given a room that I reserved. The room that I was given was extremely small with very limited space to put our belongings. There was only 1 chair to sit on. The bed was uncomfortable and offered no support. It needed updating. It is located in front of a parking area and lights from cars dropping off people late in the evening woke me up.

Plussat: Location is perfect.

Miinukset: The hotel is very simple, the room quite small, the breakfast just ok, yet it’s not very cheap to stay there. A few things could be improved to make the stay more enjoyable and better value for money...

Plussat: Amazing location, friendly staff, good breakfast, very comfy bed

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Loved that it was so close to the beach. The staff was friendly and courteous. The room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was great!

Miinukset: Parking

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Breakfast was good. The location is perfect. Nice and quiet and just a short walk to the beach.

Miinukset: A safety bar in the shower would make bathing much safer. It is such a minor expense and it might save you a law suit. Also a dimmer switch in the bath would save $$$ and make it more pleasant for sleeping ( we like some light during the night).

Plussat: Friendly staff, close to the beach, peaceful and clean.

Miinukset: Overpriced. Our room was a little tired, no fridge, no safe, quite small. Room smelt a bit.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Can’t think of anything at the moment.

Plussat: The view by far was the best feature to this hotel. Location was perfect. The staff was exceptional!

Plussat: Comfy bed and clean

Miinukset: Noisy

Plussat: All of it!

Plussat: Stayed in room 502, which had a great view of the ocean. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was small but it appears to have been recently remodeled and the shower had good water pressure. Its a short walk to lots of nice restaurants.

Miinukset: The AC/refrigeration unit from the market/deli next door is somewhat loud and is on 24 hours. It's a white noise so I was able to kind of tune it out, but be aware if you're someone who's sensitive to that type of thing.

Plussat: Great location.

Plussat: Close to the center of town, an easy walk. We had a balcony from which we had a delightful view of the ocean.

Plussat: Location sea view ,there’s fire in room.clean room.

Miinukset: Carpet and curtains looks dirty,maybe too old. AC too noisy.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Little tired

Plussat: reception staff were friendly and helpful

Miinukset: parking was a little difficult at times

Plussat: The very best thing about the Hotel was the room. We had one on the Top floor and the views of the sun setting were amazing. The location of the hotel was good and there was plenty of car parking available.

Miinukset: The breakfasts were pretty dire! Not so much the food, but the scramble to get it and the lack of tables to sit at.....it was a regular morning bun fight that we didn’t want. I would recommend that future guests did not buy breakfast but went out to a local restaurant for breakfast or brunch. So we didn’t bother with breakfasts even though we had paid for them. Breakfast Not recommended! We had a problem with the loss of internet connectivity and were told by the front desk that we had to contact their internet provider and sort it out ourselves........an hour on the phone and another hour later we had it working. That’s not what I would call service from the hotel and not what we would have expected. When we checked into the hotel, after a long drive, we required a loo. We were told by the reception that there were public loos just opposite on the other side of the street......again not what we would have expected. Overall the hotel felt lacking and, for the reasons above, disappointing. It would be good for an overnight stay but it’s not really good if you base yourselves there and staying for more than a night or two. We loved Carmel but if we go again, we will be looking for somewhere else to stay.

Plussat: The room is clean nicely furnished and very roomy. We love the amenities

Plussat: This was a girl's trip for a week and we wanted to spend one more night in the area, having spent the previous night and day in Monterey, CA. We booked this hotel while we were snapping one of a thousand pics on the 17 Mile Drive and were delighted to see how quaint and comfortable both the Inn and room were when we arrived. It was more like having our own cabin than a hotel room and we just loved it. It was very close to the beautiful beach in Carmel where we watched a gorgeous sun set and was within a short walk to a number of great restaurants and shopping. While this Inn did serve breakfast, we slept in and missed it. The office staff referred us to a little bistro down the block which was reasonable and delicious. I would most definitely return!

Miinukset: Quite honestly, nothing.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Room a bit musty smelling. Carpet should be replaced

Plussat: We booked a King room just for one night and it was perfect. Bed was very comfortable and the location was ideal. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: WiFi was terrible

Plussat: In a nice quiet part of Carmel and very convenient for what we needed. Room was very clean albeit on the small size.

Miinukset: The bathroom was too small to be comfortable but still manageable. Noisy neighbours from the adjoining hotel. Breakfast/lobby areas are very cramped and often nowhere to sit because all the tables were taken. Breakfast was very modest, bagels, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and sliced apples and oranges. Coffee was pretty good.

Plussat: The beds were comfy, location great, very cute

Miinukset: We extended our stay, had to move which was fine, but second room didn’t have toaster!

Plussat: Location and breakfast. Friendly staff. Room was good size. Clean

Miinukset: It was a very hot day without air conditioning. My sister stayed at a neighboring inn who provided fans. $400 a night is very pricey and we were in town for a wedding so no choice. My daughter uses a wheelchair and there were 3 steps to get into room. When cars are parked she couldn’t get through. Breakfast area had steps but the staff was helpful in providing necessities to take food to room

Plussat: Great location, clean, comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Great breakfast!

Plussat: Briarwood Inn is close to all the Carmel shops.

Miinukset: Briarwood Inn is rated dog friendly. I asked the receptionist where the dogs could go potty. He said they didn't have any place near the inn. I would have to take my 2 dogs to the dog park, which was about a 20 minute walk. The 3 chairs were very uncomfortable; the type you find in a doctor's waiting room. The morning coffee was weak.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Parking none or very tight. Mold on bath sink tile. No regular shampoo. Breakfast on the light side.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. Location was amazing.

Miinukset: WiFi was very spotty and not very fast when you were on it. There were too many different WiFi accounts that we weren't sure which one to catch and I think they would be better served to consolidate all the WiFi signals in to one account that is much stronger.

Plussat: proximity

Miinukset: parking really tight, but its carmel so it's to be expected

Plussat: Very comfortable beds, and great location.

Miinukset: Decor is a bit dated. No screens on windows (which needed to stay open for air) was a bit weird. Had to ask for fan to help air circulate.

Plussat: The location was perfect...a few blocks to shopping and restaurants and a few blocks to the beach

Plussat: Great location. Very cute inn and staff were very attentive and happy.

Miinukset: Facilities are a bit outdated but appreciate this is fair for price.

Plussat: Garden, Location,clean comfortable

Plussat: Room was very unique and cosy. Staff were very friendly. The location is great with a short walk to the beach/shops.

Plussat: 1) breakfast is satisfying 2) Paul is very helpful, thank you 3) position is great, about 7-8min walking to beach, and 5min to downtown

Miinukset: price is a bit high

Plussat: Location was great!

Miinukset: It was old

Plussat: This was a very good choice for our group - family of five with a few days to spend in the area. Service was excellent, breakfast was very good, beds was good and rooms where both cosy and clean.

Plussat: The breakfast was good and well-thought out. The location is perfect to walk everywhere you would want to go. The person who worked the breakfast in the morning was very sweet,

Miinukset: The complaints are not major. The blow dryer could have been much better and the water pressure in the bathroom sink was not good. Neither would prevent me from staying there again.

Plussat: The location was only a short five minute walk into the town and to the beach. Although the property was a bit tired it was clean and comfortable. The supplied breakfast and eating area was excellent and we even tried to make waffles quite successfully. The beach was superb and the sunsets were beautiful. Pebble Beach Golf Course was a short walk along the beach and was great to see.

Miinukset: There was nothing to complain about. It would have been good to stay a little longer.

Plussat: The Green Lantern Inn is in a very convenient psoition near to both the beach and the centre of Carmel. It's quirky and different but very comfortable. It was nice to be able to sit in the garden with a cup of coffee when we arrived.

Miinukset: We had a lot of problems finding the Hotel using the satnav. The breakfast was quite limited and the breakfast staff unhelpful and difficult to find.
