We had a lovely one-night stay that left us feeling quite content. The staff was incredibly friendly, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. It was great to find the pier just a short walk away, allowing us to enjoy some beautiful time by the water. Plus, the nearby restaurant, which offers a nice discount to guests for breakfast, surprised us with its delicious food. Overall, it was a delightful experience!

This is a very cute hotel in an EXCELLENT location just a block from the beach, the pier, restaurants etc. It is the city so if you need quiet at night, this might not be the place for you. Use earplugs and should be ok. Great breakfast place right next door.

After a long day out in the sun, we were greeted by friendly smiles. We had a large group and multiple rooms, the desk staff was so kind! We parked our cars with the hotel as well, and our valet was superior. We had to get things out of the car a couple of times, it was no problem. The staff went over and above to help us have a great experience. Thank you, Hotel Carmel!

Overall, a very cute, unique old school hotel. I loved the vibe & the people were nice. They just need to add a few extras like a mini fridge, microwave, & darkening curtains. The air conditioning unit was also extremely loud.

2-night trip

6/10

The location was fantastic, the hotel was clean, and the staff were very friendly. We stayed in a room with a window facing the inner courtyard. Unfortunately, there was a bigger machine outside – likely for the A/C – that ran through the night. With the window closed, it was already quite loud, and we ended up sleeping with earplugs. With the window open, it was really too noisy to sleep at all.

The hotel is located right in the heart of Santa Monica so super convenient. It is a bit dated but still comfortable. No air in the rooms and you can’t really keep your window open due to loud noises and screaming at night by the unhoused. The shower needed some help and the tv didn’t work, but all that said you can’t beat the price and the location!

The Hotel is in a fantastic location downtown in a nice part of the neighbourhood. The rooms could do with an upgrade. The aircon unit is so loud each night that it wakes you up when it starts up. It's beyond silly. The rooms could do with modernising and the walls are thin. The staff were great, the bed was comfortable enough
