the breakfast is quite possibly one of the most incredible things about this hotel. They provide it with your reservation, and it is cooked for you, offered in the room or at a beautiful outdoor courtyard on property with a fireplace. The staff was very helpful, and offered amenities like free rides up the hill to the center of town. This hotel is down by the beach, just a block away, which is why I chose to stay here vs 6 blocks up hill in the center of town. It is quiet, private, a nice sanctuary. they place a lot of emphasis on their spa and the bathrooms. Those latter are amazing, each (I believe) has a tub with bath salts, etc, plus robes, slippers. I did not try the spa, but it seemed to be a destination for many of those staying there. (We were there in the offseason, February). The hotel’s food is quite good too although we only had snacks and a couple drinks at their bar. I believe the rates are a good value, for what you receive.

Location is exceptional. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Carmel is a great beach to visit. Very pretty surrounding area, white sandy beach. But water is cold! Carmel in general tends to be very rainy/cloudy. Its not necessarily "lay out and tan" kind of vibes. But more walk the beach, play fetch with your dog, find a good nook to read a book, surf if thats what you're into.

Such a neat little town, some areas look like a fairy village according to my wife. Definitely a art town as there are a lot of art galleries. Overall it is such a cute little town with lots of cool little shops to visit and sights to see.

This is our third time coming to Carmel, and if I win the lotto, I will buy here. It is like nothing else you can experience on the West Coast. There are so many shops, wine tasting, hundreds of wonderful restaurants, and, did I say shopping? We coordinated this trip with a concert at the Sun Set Center. If you can attend a concert there, you will not be let down. It was amazing and within walking distance.

Carmel is a wonderful place to visit, we were lucky that the weather was so GOOD. The town has many great shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a wonderful pace to celebrate a special occasion and there is Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive!!

Carmel is a cute, charming seaside town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Mostly all parking is on-street parallel parking. The Adobe Inn, where we stayed, is located within a block of all the restaurants and shops and even has its own parking garage located below the Inn. At night the town pretty much clears out after 9 or 10, but walking back to the Inn felt safe. The town is also a great base if you are planning on visiting Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, or Big Sur.

Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown.
Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown. A beautiful spot with its own personality. The cutest shops, amazing food and outstanding beaches. Super close to Big Sur and also the 17 Mile Drive - make sure you visit Peeble Beach Golf Club!
We had an ocean view king room with fireplace - the view was spectacular and the best part of the room! The hotel is a refurbished older property. The updated rooms are nice and comfortable but nothing special. The bathroom was small but functional. The location is great and walkable to downtown Carmel restaurants and the beach. Be aware that the hotel is up a hill if you are in an ocean view room and may be a difficult walk for people with mobility issues and you will need to drive. The staff is great, very friendly and accommodating.
Conveniently located off of Hwy 1, a few miles north of Point Lobos State Park and within short drives to downtown Carmel, Pacific Grove, Monterey, 17-mile drive (Pebble Beach). Bonus: The Crossroads Plaza is a mere .2 miles away. Our room in the upstairs of the main building: Clean & comfortable w/ a balcony overlooking Carmel River; comfy king-sized bed. Quiet refrigerator, good television. Perfect for a 2-night Monterey Peninsula getaway.
‘Would stay again when in the area.
The property is right off Hwy 1 and very conveniently located for you to get to Big Sur and only a couple of minutes away from Carmel by the Sea. Across the street is also a grocery store, coffee shop, and lots of dining options. The property is nice and clean with a mid modern century vibe. We paid for deluxe room with a balcony and views overlooking the pool and mountains. Also free parking and Wi-Fi is a bonus.
one of few hotels in Carmel by the sea that has property for a garden and a small pool.
beautiful grounds, comfy lobby and restaurant area open to seating all day.
wine and sangria in the afternoon. wonderful breakfast included in the stay.
4 min walk to the beach and the towns restaurants. they provided a shuttle to and from town.
the staff is super friendly and accommodating.
We stayed only one night, but the staff is so helpful and a quick check in that let us time to enjoy Carmel.
The rooms are very clean.
Amazing location, don’t expect the best views, but it’s 3 streets from center and lots of places to go.
The free parking it’s also amazing you can leave the car there and walk for 10min to the beach and 5 to Ocean ave!
Really friendly welcome with fresh baked cookies which were a nice touch.. The hotel is a really easy walk into downtown and close to the beach too, The person on reception was able to give us lots of suggestions for dinner with many restaurants offering discounts or complimentary food for hotel guests. Lots of parking spaces too.
Charming boutique Inn built in the 1940's but well maintained. REAL fireplaces in the rooms! Excellent hot breakfast. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Reasonably close to the main street in downtown Carmel. Carmel is "downhill" from the Inn...a nice walk to the town but best to Uber/Lyft back to the Inn after dinner.
A super cute hotel with a nice cosy and warm feeling. The location was fantastic, right in the centre of all the Carmel fun! It is a very safe town and the parking on-site was a great plus. Staff was friendly and chatty! We really loved our stay at Hofsa House and fell in love with Carmel. We will definitely be back!
Room adequate, bit crowded with furnishings. Location not the best, at top of hill, limited tight parking if hotel would be full. Breakfast basket more than adequate. Loads of construction all over Carmel, no street parking in town and it was off month of January. Could not imagine how it would be in busier season
It was great, bed super comfy, location the best in Carmel apart from the beachfront obviously, staff super helpful and friendly, short walk to the beach and parking was a bonus!
The only negatives were no fridge, AC or clean service on second day of stay.
The hotel was conveniently located on a main street of Carmel, and also exit out of town by car was pretty quick. A parking place was included with the room we ordered, which was important, as parking in the street was limited for two hours.
This is an older hotel in a great location. The parking is completely lacking in terms of the price. The dog friendly room was on the 2nd floor, the stairs were very steep and difficult for our dog.
Cute hotel located close to Carmel downtown. Good service with the limit of very small reception, no lounge and no elevators.
