The inn was a couple blocks away from the main shopping area in Carmel. Every thing there is quite walkable and easy to get to though - maybe a 5 min walk into the main part. There is also lots of parking there so you don't have to worry about moving your car around town. The Hofsas House is a... More

This inn is located in town but in a quiet section a few blocks from the main drag, Ocean Avenue. The room was large and comfortable, though older and not particularly modern. No bellman so you must lug your luggage (upstairs in our case). We had a small kitchenette with frig in our room. The bathroom was large though oddly... More

Location and setting is great - but some serious remodel is necessary. Everything about this boutique property needs to put some fat (insulation) on it. The doors are paper thin - as are the walls. We could literally hear the couple next door when they were talking in their room - and they were just speaking in average tones. The... More

The fog filtering through the Monterrey Pines added a romantic element to our view,which we enjoyed next to a cozy fireplace, in our large king room furnished with two comfortable chairs to enjoy the view in, along with nice antiques in the room. A very pleasant stay included a continental breakfast with trays so we could continue to enjoy our... More

Having read the reviews of Carmel accommodation my expectations were low but I was pleasantly surprised with this establishment. I travelled with my mum, in laws, husband and 2 children. We booked the family suite which was wonderful as it had a little kitchen as well. Breakfast was good. Lovely pastries and friendly service. I would stay there again. More

We really enjoyed our stay at Hofsas House. We came with our kids on a family weekend trip. When we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff and felt very welcome. We had two rooms - one king with fireplace and next door 2 queens for the kids. We loved the dutch doors which opened at the top allowing us... More

We stayed with 2 teenagers for 2 nights during their ski week from school. The room was extremely clean and quite big. Beds were comfortable and a fireplace lovely. Also heating worked well (it was pretty chilly in the evenings). Breakfast was included and it was much better than usually with this price range. Fresh baked goods, coffee, yogurt, juice,... More

Having been back again, we just have to tell all, that this is the finest family run operation in Carmel. The updated bathrooms were needed and done. Extemely clean and well run. We have stayed here many years and will continue to do so. More

A friend and I stayed here for a weekend in January. I was impressed with the friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. At check-in they offered help with locating anything we were looking to see, and gave us help with restaurants. The hotel is well located, within a short walk to the center of town. We stayed in a room (#21)... More

This hotel is an older but quaint hotel set on a very steep slope. They have a pool and sauna. We stayed over Christmas and the host was extremely helpful with restaurant reservations. We parked the car on Friday night and walked everywhere. The beach is about a 15 minute walk; stores 5 minutes. Ask for the bridal suite. You... More
