Clean, comfortable and well maintained property that’s good value for the area. Great location. They’ve worked hard to bring some nice charm and character to the “motel” bones of the place. The only issue is that the walls are a bit thin - hopefully you have quiet neighbors next to your room.

We had a great stay at Tradewinds Carmel! Christine greeted us with a warm welcome. The location was perfect - tucked away, quiet, yet a short walk to all the shopping and restaurants. A wonderful hand-selected breakfast was delivered each morning, and we enjoyed it in the lovely garden area. Our room was very nice, especially the view of the ocean.
