Best Western Carmel's Town House Lodge

We did this to ourselves; waiting until the day of to book a hotel in Carmel on a Saturday during the height of the tourism season. But still. $300 for a tired, half-renovated Best Western with questionable housekeeping is insane. This is a 1960s-1970s era motel complete with a vintage thermostat my millenial girlfriend wasn't even sure how to operate, and vintage, square recessed light fixtures. It even has one of those fun heat lamps on a timer in the bathroom. You can see the old caulk lines on the tub from where they removed the old school frosted glass sliding shower doors. Think "lipstick on a pig." It is updated, however, with more modern furniture, carpeting, drapes, etc., granite in the bathroom. They tried.Speaking of the bathroom, however, there were several coarse hairs on the bathroom floor and in the tub. Breakfast is bad coffee, powdered eggs, sausage, cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc. None of this would have bothered me at a lower price point, it is a two-star hotel after all. But at $300, this experience was infuriating. less

Lovely hotel, we stayed one night as part of our california road trip and despite arriving let were given a very friendly welcome and great parking advice as there isn't much at the hotel. The room was clean- although the carpets were quite wet from being cleaned which was odd. Breakfast was standard buffet fare but well executed and appreciated. Our stay was short so we didn't check out the facilities but from what we saw all was well maintained and the location is great for a wander around the quirky streets of Carmel or for a stroll to the beach. less

Had an overnight stay here. Great location and spacious comfy room with WiFi and cable tv. They had just washed the carpets so a little damp under foot but at least they were clean! The beds are very comfy but the neighbours were quite noisy. Not the hotels fault! Average breakfast included which is good to grab on your way out. Loved Carmel, beautiful place. less

We stayed 3 days in Carmel as the first stop of our California trip. It was superb. The hotel is located right in the middle of the town, close to everything. Only a short walk to the beach. Breakfast was included and great!! We will return for sure, highly recommend tis hotel. less

Stayed here for 5 nights during the annual Carmel Plein Air Art Festival in May. For the price, you cannot beat this place; exceptionally reasonable when compared to other lodging in Carmel. Room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast buffet was good; had all I wanted. On-site parking was very convenient, and as was the location of the hotel - central to everything in Carmel; everything was within walking distance. Staff was wonderful, everyone from front-desk to housekeeping, everybody was great. Will definitely stay here again when in the area. less
