Hotels in Carmel-by-the-Sea

This is a beautiful property, with very accommodating employees and easy access to the beach and downtown. We plan to return someday! Have no complaints!

Charming historic hotel with fantastic service and location. We traveled with an infant and had a very enjoyable stay.

Proximity to downtown restaraunt a and shopping, golf and ocean. Rooms a little small

The views are stunning and the property is a gem. Gorgeous location off the main road but within a super close walking distance (and if walking isn't for you, there is a shuttle provided). Clean rooms, comfortable beds, extremely wonderful staff. The extras are at every turn - free wine tasting, chocolates on the pillows, hot coco when we checked in, etc. One of the best breakfast buffets I've had. I've stayed here twice and plan on returning every time I visit Carmel.

It was just beautiful and romantic in every way. Staff was incredible. Nothing

Charming place with the most attentive staff I've ever encountered. Stay in Carmel often. First time at La Playa. We'll be back.

Wine and cheese between 5-7 pm and homemade hot breakfast. Small room, street noise

We were a little skeptical, but were pleasantly surprised! The staff was great, the room was very nice, the fire pit was fun and the breakfast was above average. Nice extra buffet touches like quiche and croissant egg and sausage sandwiches. Yogurt was in nice glassware and fresh cut up seasonal fruit, versus just bananas and apples and oranges. Like I said, were pleasantly surprised and will be back!

We upgraded to a King suite, which was a clean room, though not particularly sizable. Staff was very nice and efficient. It was a quick walk into town, and the grounds of the hotel were lovely. There was also no refrigerator in our room, though we thought we saw one in another room. For our room being a suite and upgraded, the lack of the fridge was a little bizarre.

Very comfortable bedding. Slept great. Nice pool. Location, location, location was great. Able to walk where ever you wanted. Not too far from anything. Nice eateries just around the corner. Breakfast location was extremely cramped for those eating. Overly simplistic breakfast meal. Warm food should be kept warmer. No news papers for quests? Picked one up from the corner grocery store.

Great location. We also had an ocean view from both our room and balcony. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Free parking. Grocery store right next door. The free full hot breakfast sucked.

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was better than average. Great location to walk to Carmel stores, restaurants, beach. Very clean room. No problem parking. An excellent value. Would stay again. Wish it had a hot tub to go with the pool.
