Clean, comfortable, good sized rooms. Enjoyed the fireplace and modern bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff and we really enjoyed the breakfast delivered in a basket to our rooms. We will stay again!
Service was great, rooms looked just as pictured and were impressively clean, balcony was private, room and hotel had a very serene atmosphere, beach towels were provided, and the breakfast delivery every morning was super convenient and a nice touch. I would recommend and I would stay again.
We absolutely loved her hassle-free stay. Hotel is in a great location... the parking & breakfast delivery to our room was very welcome icing on the cake!
Great place to stay with very thoughtful amenities including a small breakfast delivered every morning in a basket, texts from the front desk to check in periodically and and well-conceived design and comfort elements at every turn. Didn’t want to leave! Great stay!
Our room was really nice, and the staff kept it very clean. The delivered-to-your room breakfast was great! This was really a terrific perk. Would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful stay at Tradewinds. Convenient location, lovely room with a view of the ocean and breakfast delivered to the room daily! We will definitely return!
Very nice place stay with a balcony and fireplace. Bed was very comfortable and cozy.
A light Breakfast and coffee dropped off in the morning was an added bonus.
Quiet and beautiful location with very helpful staff. Our room had a view of the ocean and the breakfast delivered each morning was a great surprise. There was no A/C but we never needed it with the cool breezes through the open windows even at night.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Tradewinds in Carmel.
The staff was helpful and friendly...our room was charming
The fireplace was a lovely surprise...
Our Saturday morning breakfast was fresh and healthy!
