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.

Extra special stay
Pros:

From the moment we got there, tradewinds and its excellent and super friendly staff made our stay lovely. Welcome cookies and iced tea, a personal walk to our room, an extra fan when it was an unusually hot day just to start. Beach towels on request, then prompting us to help us find a nice hike. And the adorable, delicious and healthy breakfasts were amazing! Overnight oats, fruit, the best tasty croissants, yogurt and granola, etc. the room was beautifully decorated and the property was lovely. Can’t wait to come back!!
