"The Carmel Beach Hotel is the very nicely refurbished/updated Colonial Terrace Hotel. We have stayed in the old property and now the new one.

We chose a room on San Antonio and had a small terrace with a clear ocean view. Excellent! Staff was very helpful and friendly, breakfast was very nice (real breakfast, not a cold boiled egg and a bagel). We really enjoyed our...

"Lovely property. Superb hot tub. Excellent welcome from Elizabeth at reception. Amazing Barman at adjacent Brophys Tavern. Room very nice, but strangely lacking in places to hang anything. Nowhere to hang bathrobes or wet bathing suits. Towels are at opposite end of bathroom, meaning a slippery walk across wet tile to get a towel. No room around basin for toiletries. "

"Good place especially for families with kids. However, the restaurant service is poor--slow, tables not ready for reservation time (even when few people, they had us wait in the lobby and then after leading us to the table they combined them in front of us while we waited in between diners/other tables). Room Service had to come twice because they 'forgot' part of the order. Basically, the kitchen needs work! The maintenance of the room balcony areas were not clean. The buildings needed...

Charm, Authenticity, Location!
"Loved the cabin! Much better than expected–pictures did not due it justice. Location, just two blocks from the miles-long Carmel boardwalk overlooking the coastline. Can walk downtown and to Carmel and Carmel River beaches. Super easy parking."
