Hotel Carmel

Thank you for amazing stay

Looks great online but dated interior. Great location and price for nightlife… which was a negative in our case since it’s noisy and inconvenient for a family passing through with late arrival and early departure during a roadtrip.

Great location - walking distance to pier, shopping and dining. Valet was super busy so there was a slight delay in parking, but retrieval was within minutes.

Best location in Santa Monica for your buck. Hotel might old in the hallway but have the modern feel inside the room. Comfortable beds. Love it.

The hotel is in a perfect location walkable to the pier, shopping and restaurants. We stayed in the suite which had a spacious sitting room off of the bedroom with a full sized pull out couch, 2 arm chairs and a desk w chair. The bedroom was very spacious with a large dresser and big closet - plenty of space to store your things. And lots of natural light in both sitting and bedroom. The bathroom is tiny. The shower curtain is very short and as a result water all over the floor when showering. This can be easily solved by installing a longer shower curtain. The bathroom counter was installed for someone toddler sized. Very low. But workable. There is no where to hang towels. Easy fix - install hooks on the back of the bathroom door. The room was very clean. The common areas are another story. There is carpeting throughout and looks like it needs a good cleaning. The carpeting on the stairs needs some vacuuming and could look so much better. All in all, it was the right fit for us and if in the area would stay again. If it’s helpful, we stayed in 306 didn’t use the sofa bed and can’t comment on it.

Perfectly located for Santa Monica activities. Property clean, very nice staff. We recommend.

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!

I loved how close it was to everything in town

It is hard to comment because it is a cheap hotel. But it is very tired, and very noisy. We were at the back on the top floor and overlooked a whole ton of fans and air conditioners. This was so noisy that we couldnt open the window. The showers really also need fixing. The building is old and tired, but thats expected. I would certainly not stay again. Service was 100% perfect and the Bar Chloe downstairs is a gem!

The location of the hotel is walkable to shopping centre and santa monica pier
