Nice little inn… some of the rooms facing the street are noisy; best bet is to get a room in the interior second level. Parking is available… just leave your car… everything you need is a short walk away… cataloged under… inexpensive and clean.
Very cute little lodge in the heart of Carmel with ample guest parking. The rooms are very clean, although a little small, but the service is the true shining part about this place. We got in around 11:30 at night, and the owner still offered to help us brew tea or coffee when we asked if there was a vending machine for drinks. Also, the room comes with a small continental breakfast that they bring directly to your room.
We also accidentally left something in the room, and the front desk management really went all out in making sure to track us down and keep everything safe for us. I was honestly so impressed with them, and would highly recommend staying here!
This is a great location, close to art galleries, shops, and restaurants, and a few blocks walk, down hill, to the beach. The hotel is just off Hwy 1 and easy to find. Parking is free, but the spaces are very tight. Also, there is no air conditioning in the room but they did provide a portable fan which helped. The room and bathroom were a bit small, but not surprising since it is an older hotel, but clean and nicely updated. There is also a nice sun deck with plenty of seating and a sunset view of the ocean. When it is cooler, it would be a nice place to hang out and enjoy the fireplace.
Best Western Carmel's Town House Lodge at Carmel-by-the-sea is an outstanding value and a beautiful hotel. Shammy is The Innkeeper and there is nothing more she could have done to show appreciation or improve our stay. Absolutely impeccable and we sincerely appreciate Shammy. People like her will
have us return to Best Western in the future.
The hotel room was small. I think most of the hotel rooms in Carmel are probably small due to the location of the hotel. That being said, it was a great overall experience because of where we were. I would definitely stay here again! A warning though, they have no air conditioning. It was not needed if you leave your windows open. They did have a fan in the room that was quiet. For where you are, the price of the hotel was reasonable.
We did a last minute booking. The staff was nice, the bed was ok. It seemed clean. They gave us Strawberries, coffee or tea, pastries, and a choice of Juice delivered to our room. Usually with things like that, I would have rated the hotel higher. Unfortunately, I'm giving them a low rating because of all of the noise. Their walls must be way too thin because I could hear yelling and conversations from somewhere (with the talking they were talking in normal tones, but I could still hear them). We were in room 4 and all night we also heard people walking above us. Between the "boom" of the people above us hitting the ground, to the creaking of them walking (assuming they were going to the bathroom a lot), the running feet above us (didn't really look. I don't know if we were below a hallway; but there was running feet late at night and early morning multiple times) we got a pretty rough night's sleep.
We enjoyed the location and the appearance of this hotel. the morning breakfast was very adequate to start the day. the top loft patio for visiting was nice too. the room was very comfortable also. the bathrooms are more modern spa like. the shower spray was great too. (I always watch for that and enjoy a good shower) i will definately come back there. a few quick blocks to town also.
This hotel was so nice, clean, comfortable and cute. The staff (Sammy) was very accommodating and courteous. Thx Sammy. Their coffee in the lobby was so delish
Definitely will be back!
The rooms were fresh and very comfortable. This location is located just steps from Ocean Avenue A plus for us. All the staff was accommodating! Will definitely visit again. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Not unusual for Carmel, but the room is very small with no a/c. Make sure you get a room with windows on both sides so you have ventilation. Ours did not so it was stuffy. This was the most economical place to stay in Carmel and within easy walking distance of everything, including the beach. The roof top deck is a nice place to sit in the mornings or evenings.
Dog friendly, Hannah got a bag of treats upon check-in and another when we checked out. Great location a couple of blocks off Ocean Street and close to shops and restaurants. Walk to the beach.
