My friend and I went for a three night stay and really enjoyed it. It was impeccably clean! Everything seemed fresh and new and beautifully designed. The service from first arrival to check out was fantastic. The Hotel sits on a quiet street so there was no road noise. The morning breakfast was wonderful. The bedding and room was superb. Sitting outside by the fire was a nice touch. We would definitely stay there again. The Hotel is also within walking distance to excellent restaurants and shops.

We don’t always take advantage of on-site food and services, but we went that route for dinner because the offerings looked good: oven baked pizza and local greens. We appreciated being able to stay in and relax. Continental breakfast was offered in likewise excellent taste.

We loved the feeling of a couple's resort even though a child was being a child for a moment. The toilet paper will need an upgrade, but other than that, everything else was perfect!

New nicely renovated old motel/apt bldg. No slippers available. Room heater/AC unit is LOUD and slow to adjust. Sadly, breakfast very much needs vast improvement. Food items taste as if they were prepared the night before and tasted old and soggy. Given the price of the room rate, breakfast is very disappointing.

First rate experience! The location is walking distance to a ton of great bars and restaurants. Arrived with complimentary Champaign. The service was amazing. They had a pizza oven and great cheese plates as well as awesome selection of local wines! The rooms have all the bells and whistles. Then to end they had a complimentary breakfast that was exceptional. Will be staying here for every trip to Carmel/Monterey!

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!

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

Stilwell is in a great location close to Ocean Avenue, galleries, shops, the beach and good restaurants. The hotel opened in May 2023 and is beautiful and smartly designed. We stayed in a balcony room, and having the extra outdoor space was nice. The room is well-appointed, the bed very comfortable, and the bathroom is beautiful. Great lighting. Loved all the sitting areas on the patios. Soothing water feature and great complimentary breakfast. Delicious. Very helpful staff. Will definitely stay here again.

This property is brand new and beautifully put together. The property is a small lot, but it has a large feel to it. There are a few sitting areas located throughout the property to enjoy the relaxing sounds of the many water features. Firepits are also arranged throughout the property. Many people had arrived with dogs, and it seemed like a pet-friendly hotel. The breakfast provided in the morning is located in their courtyard, which was a bonus not mentioned on the Expedia website when I booked. The breakfast was small plates that were premade and had a good amount to choose from. Oatmeal, potatoes, muffins, french toast, scones, yogurts, smoothies, juices, coffee, and more.
