This place is great for a little getaway in Santa Monica! Cute, quaint rooms with everything you need to settle in comfortably. A short walk down to the pier, or turn the corner and you’re right in the heart of downtown. No car needed to visit here, everything is walkable and a great view at that! Foodaroumd this place is delicious and some shops near the hotel even offer hotel guests a discount. Don’t skip this spot for a place to stay

The hotel is an old building, so a few quirks like the shower didn't work well, sheets didn't fit the bed, not a great mattress, and it was extremely noisy. The staff was great, and the location can't be beat.

Hotel Carmel is in a great location, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our short stay; however, I don’t feel it meets the standard of a 3-star hotel and found it to be overpriced. The property is quite run-down and outdated, with an odd smell throughout, making it feel closer to a 2-star experience. It’s not a terrible place to stay, but the pricing should more accurately reflect the condition and overall offering of the hotel.

Best location!

We LOVED the proximity to the beach, pier, & places to eat. Room was a little small but we weren’t there to sit in the room all day. I would stay there again for sure if back in Santa Monica!

The valet parking was a bit expensive but extremely convenient. This hotel is about location it’s 2 blocks from the pier and very close to the mall, what else could you want, it’s not the Hilton but has its own charming appeal. I like the rooms on the west side and the front desk and we do kind to accommodate me.

Really nice place near the Line 4 bus stop and Santa Monica Pier. There's accessibility to all kinds of things from this spot, something I truly appreciate when I book my stays. Everything worked well in the room, but the highlight was the bed. Great mattress/sheets/pillows. Staff was friendly and helpful.
