La Playa Hotel Carmel

The hotel was quiet, clean and very close to the water. It’s an easy walk to downtown, to the water and shopping. The brunch they offer is amazing! Wonderful selection of fresh food!

The amenities are well worth the fee. Loved the wine in the afternoons and cookies in the evening. Transportation to and from the downtown area was perfect since the are many hills in the area. The champagne breakfast was excellent - only suggestion would be to have protein available as stand alone item. If you want bacon or sausage it’s only available in the form of a breakfast burrito or omelette.

One of the best hotels ive ever stayed in. Old workd California charm on another level. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond. The lobby and grounds make you feel like you are on the set of a movie. I cant say enough good things.

Room does NOT look like photos. Don't stay here.

The room looked nothing like the photos online. It was like a basement - very little light, but also somehow very loud / noisy b/c it was right off the main lobby. Staff was unhelpful and manager was unavailable. Terrible experience. Don't stay here.
