This was my second stay here, and will definitely be back!
Pros:

Very friendly staff. Great location. Nice sized room with a gas fireplace and balcony for fresh air. We had a little ocean view from the balcony, and that was pretty cool. We were near the buddha fountain is sounded great and calming. They had a car charger available, which takes a little stress off of finding a hook up in town.

Fine
Pros:

Location good and parking, plus staff were lovely.

Cons:

Breakfast very basic but ok. Paid extra for a sea view, but that was more of a glimpse! That annoyed us, to be honest.

Nice Carmel spot
Pros:

This rating really should be a 4.5 - an older hotel that is very well maintained, very nice outdoor space and we found it quiet. Sitting on the balcony was very relaxing and we had great views. The room was nice with a fireplace good bed and good seating. As it’s older, some bathroom fixtures could have been updated is our only complaint. We really liked the breakfast in the morning being delivered to the room. Staff were very friendly as well. The location was nice and most things in Carmel were walkable.

Good but some things to note
Pros:

The location is excellent. It's a quiet street and a very short walk to town. The rooms are beautiful and clean, and the inner courtyard has a pleasant feel. The people at the front desk were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Some things to note: The breakfast was poor; the conditioner bottle was empty; one of the bathroom heater lamps did not work; and the walls are paper-thin, so we could hear the people above us very clearly, i.e. noisy.

Amazing Hotel in Carmel by the Sea
Pros:

Outstanding stay at Tradewinds in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The location is ideal—close enough to walk to shops and restaurants, yet still quiet and relaxing.

Service was a clear standout. Breakfast delivered to the room each morning was a great touch, and the staff was consistently attentive and accommodating.

We booked a suite, and having a dedicated parking space made the experience even more convenient. Overall, a well-run property that delivers on both comfort and service.

In short: on our next visit to Carmel we will stay at the Tradewinds.
Pros:

A breakfast room would have been nice, but that omission was more than equalized by the sumptuous, delicious offerings that were delivered in a handsome basket to our room’s entry door. The central location is outstanding for and quiet, with nice views of the ocean from a number of rooms. The central, vegetated courtyard is very restful.

Cons:

Each guestroom entry door could have been a bit more insulated from outside sounds, but the sound intrusion was not bad or bothersome.
