Our stay at the Stilwell Hotel was absolutely amazing! The property is elegant and beautiful, the staff was extremely attentive, our room was immaculate, and the breakfast buffet was an absolute delight, served beautifully for guests to enjoy either indoors or around the outdoor fire pits and water features. It’s also very conveniently located in walking distance to the shops and restaurants. I would absolutely recommend and hope to be back someday!

Liked: Cleanliness
I think there is a discrepancy between the photos online and what you get when you are there. This place feels like a motel, the rooms are small, the walls are thin, the staffs are kids doing summer jobs, they don't specially care about the customers, the breakfast room is what look like a meeting room with random tables put in, on the good side nothing is terribly bad, the bathroom are new and bed comfortable but the price is like a luxury resort, which it is definitely not. Also I was a bit surprised they charged me an extra $50 because our 7 year old daughter was with us, maybe it's Carmel thing... not sure, I think at the price of the room they can let a kid sleep without a random extra charge. Sorry I wanted to like it, but they need to either decrease the price or increase the level somehow, I will look for another place next time I'm in Carmel

Beautiful and modern room. Pet friendly! Great location with restaurants and shops surrounding it. Walkable distance to the beach! Only issue was the door needed a small screw to close right, but overall loved our stay. Thanks for having us!
