Hofsas House Hotel, Carmel

Quiet location, but close to downtown. Good continental breakfast. Employees efficient and friendly. Good views from all rooms.

Older hotel, but clean, good service, close to town.

We got a room on the 4th floor so we had a good view...could see the ocean. The room was well appointed with a king sized bed which was nice. The staff is friendly and helpful. It was around New Years and it was cold outside. The heat inside is not effective and the bathroom is always cold. Not so good. They do have a fireplace and provide you with fire logs which helps. The location is on top of a hill so it's quite a walk from the main drag (Ocean Ave). We park the car at the hotel and walk everywhere. That's a good thing if you want to exercise. If you want convenience, then it's not that good.

My family and I have stayed in this hotel for over a decade, have had positive experiences until this recent visit and love the location. My husband and I booked months in advance for our anniversary and were so disappointed in the room, customer service and overall experience. The room was not clean, which I understand can happen and the room was in a disruptive location where everything could be heard so we let management know. Management shared there were no additional rooms or anything they could do. It was frustrating when we checked out nothing was addressed, mentioned or appeared to even be of concern. While accidents and issues are understandable the lack of regard after our negative experience was frustrating.

Basic hotel but welcome staff , clean and great location
