    Great value in downtown Carmel

    Great location and value (hotel across the street is $600 a night. The room was very clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The towels need to be replaced; they are very thin. Had 3 bottles of conditioner and no body lotion. The shampoo, conditioners are cheap. There is a water purifier under the stairs along with ice. I will say to me, the pictures look better than the reality, but it is still a good value given the location. Would stay here again. It was nice to be walking distance to restaurants.

    Great Place, Hot Room

    The room had an instant wall of bothe heat and stuffiness from the moment I walked in and back and forth to and from car. There was no way of circulating it out the room and I cannot sleep hot. So I saw there was a fan but it did not put out much and for sure not enough to clear the room even with oscillating feature. So I left the door open but then it felt I had zero privacy. I did not sleep well. I get this is a good way to cut the expenses from budget but if not including air conditioning then I would invest in a much better fan for guests. It was incredibly thick air and hot. It was conveniently located however, to the village and shops and had parking but the lot was full. Staff was friendly and professional. Would come back, but will bring my own fan from home if I did.

    Best of Carmel by the Sea

    This is one of the best places that we have stayed at in Carmel. Many of the wonderful restaurants as well as the shopping area are in walking distance of the hotel. The staff at the hotel was very accommodating. We are already looking forward to our next time at this hotel.

    Overpriced but good stay

    This hotel is walking distance and very central to Carmel-by-the-sea which I liked. I felt safe which is important. However, I do think it's overpriced for what the room is and the quality of the room. Parking also seems really limited so I'm not sure how it would work if you arrive late and all the spots are taken.

    Close to town center on a quiet street corner is a lodging gem.

    When visiting my "home turf" in Monterey County, this Best Western is the place I stay. I come to visit my Mom at least 1x per year & have stayed here 5x & will stay again. I have gotten to know the owners and am always greeted with their happy recognition, a big smile, and a hearty handshake. The sunset view of the Bay from the upstairs patio is spectacular. Every evening is different .
