Breakfast was amazing! So many wonderful options to choose from…and the wood burning pizza was awesome too!
Love the hotel, unfortunately I didn’t even get to sleep in the hotel as I had a family emergency
Beautiful hotel, very friendly staff, everything is very well kept. And a one minute walk from everything downtown in Carmel.
This hotel was in a perfect location. The room was beautifully decorated, comfortable and spotless. The staff was very accommodating and the breakfast was fabulous. The only challenge was parking if checking in late afternoon or beyond.
We loved our stay at Stilwell Hotel. Staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Very clean room, with comfy bed and super soft linens. Hotel Cafe food was delicious. Great location, walking distance to beach, local cafes, restaurants and shopping. Two courtyard patios, each with water feature and fire pit are lovely. Staff provided warm throws for us to sit through a light evening mist. Sooo nice. We plan to return to Carmel in the summer and stay here again! JLT
This property was fantastic. Staff was friendly and attentive, property was in pristine condition, rooms were very clean, and you absolutely cannot beat the location. Free parking and breakfast were also fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re coming to Carmel.
Perfect location. Incredible setting and wonderful amenities. The patios are perfect!

We had a wonderful stay! The room was spotless and the overall ambiance was warm and inviting. The convenience of onsite parking made everything so easy. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with plenty of great options to choose from. Best of all, the hotel was extremely dog-friendly — our little pooch enjoyed the stay just as much as we did!
We wish we could have stayed longer but it was a short one might stay on our road trip! The staff was very friendly and it was a very cute, hip place. We will be back to stay again and hopefully longer!
