Book a hotel near Carmel Plaza, Golden Rectangle

"The inn was super cute and had a beautiful outdoor sitting area as well as a pool. The rooms were clean and quiet. Would recommend. "

"Loved out stay at Tradewinds! So close to everything, but also far enough away to be a quiet retreat! The rooms are large with comfy bed, and a large patio to enjoy the cool evening. Loved the morning breakfast drop offs at our door. Would definitely stay again. "

"The property is well kept with very comfortable bed. Great location and space for free parking. Location can’t be beat, you are in the downtown area with walking distance to restaurants."

"It's very nice and cozy."

"Clean , quiet, friendly staff, well located for downtown walking/shopping/dining. Would definitely stay again."

"We found Le Petit Pali to be very comfortable. That said, we booked through hotels.com and got a fairly reasonable rate for the area (with which we're familiar). I've noticed that some of the reviews cite prices almost double what we paid, and to be totally honest, this would be a different review if that had been our price point. The positives: A comfortable bed, an abundant honor bar, good water pressure and a rain-style shower. A lot of thought has gone into the detailed French country-themed decor. This is a great location, downtown Carmel and the beach are within walking distance. Complimentary wine at check-in and evening cookies. We didn't attend the continental breakfast or evening drinks. Complimentary bottled water, and oat milk for coffee were nice touches. We used the Bluetooth speaker without issue. There was a great wall-mounted gas fireplace that threw lots of heat. Negatives: The room seemed dim until we optimized the lighting. Swing-arm reading lamps were cute but fiddly and out of reach once in bed. There is no folding luggage rack. It can be noisy because the closest intersection leads uphill out of town, so vehicles accelerate. There is no tea kettle and trying to heat water in the Nespresso resulted in tea water with coffee grounds (yech). The property doesn't have an ice machine. The bathroom has a sliding barn-style door, which doesn't seal completely, so not a lot of privacy (there is a very quiet fan). This was our biggest complaint, to be honest."
