Good hotel one block from the beach in santa monica. Its right in the heart the restaurants, shops etc. The hotel is a wee bit old and in need of a bit of a makeover. The hallways were a bit smelly and creaky but the room was good. All staff were very helpful and accommodating. Pretty good price considering the... More

This hotel is in a wonderful location within a block of the ocean and the Santa Monica Pier, great shopping and restaurants. The staff is helpful, rooms are clean, and beds comfortable. The hotel needs updating, especially the bathrooms. We are visiting family here and so this meets our basic needs for accommodations.

Small fabulous location in the heart of santa monica. If you want to walk to everything this is a perfect place. Nothing fancy. Bare bones accommodations. So just get out and about. Staff pleasant and accommodating. Parking rate of $14 a day is a steal includes valet. The price is very economical.

My husband and I stayed here for our 10th wedding anniversary. What a mistake. Upon check-in, the front desk girl was not friendly at all. She gave us a king bed, which is what we paid for but when we got to the room I couldn't believe what I saw. The room was so small, no place to put anything,... More

I stay at Hotel Carmel for 3 nights on the 18th of March 2013 and the outside was nice the lobby was nice but the rooms were very dark and noisy and we were on the top floor. The wifi is not free you have to pay for it and it isn't cheap, I managed to get onto the Santa... More
