Stilwell Hotel

Stilwell Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stilwell Hotel – Carmel by the Sea A peaceful stay with heart, comfort, and a perfect location From the moment we arrived, Stilwell Hotel felt welcoming and calm—more like a retreat than just a place to stay. The location is excellent: within walking distance to the beach, Carmel Plaza, and many wonderful restaurants, making it easy to explore without feeling rushed. Our room was bright, clean, and thoughtfully decorated, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere after full days out. The bed was very comfortable, and the quiet surroundings made it easy to truly rest. Each morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast that was well prepared and satisfying, allowing us to start the day slowly and intentionally. The staff was kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful, always ready with recommendations and a warm smile. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the outdoor patio, where we spent time in the evenings sharing pizza, conversation, and simply unwinding. The hotel has a peaceful vibe that invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Stilwell Hotel was the perfect base for our Carmel itinerary—close to scenic coastal drives, wine tastings, and charming walks through town. Most importantly, it provided a sense of calm and comfort that made our trip feel truly restorative. Highly recommended for couples and travelers looking for a quiet, charming stay in the heart of Carmel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We would absolutely stay here again. "
