"Had the absolute best hotel experience and top quality service from the staff at the Quail. The location was perfect for a relaxing vacation, the amenities were great, and the food at their restaurant is amazing. I definitely enjoyed my stay and will be planning a return trip soon."
"We stayed 6 nights May 20th-26, 2026.
The Pacific Edge Restaurant on site was very nice; expect to pay $100 or so for a nice breakfast for 3.
Housekeeping very poor; house keeper spilled her coffee apparently on our landing inside and out and I stepped in it and tracked in; sticky sweeten coffee with cream apparently. Also, multiple days we were left without towels, called housekeeping and no answer, called front desk who didn’t seem to care as we never received towels, went to front desk to share dissatisfaction around 7:00p on our last night and received towels sometime through the middle of the night. Also housekeeping did not leave coffee pods (upon arrival there were 4) one day house keeper left one when all 4 used, another day 2 left when all 4 used, another day 0.
Gardens in the front of property full of flowers! However we were in a suite with patio area outside our bedroom and living area. Weeds in planters, no flowers as was the case elsewhere, yard trash, cigarette butts. Also multiple people on multiple evenings used the lounge back door to enter our patio space to talk, take pics, mill around. Would have preferred a sign at the stairs that said “private area, no entry” as we were having romantic evenings and felt like we had to tell people “this is our honeymoon suite”. Most people got the gist but some did not, some had to chase their kids out of our patio, no supervision.
VERY disappointed for the AMOUNT $$$$ for our very special occasion. View super"
"The hotel is directly on the ocean. Shoos and dining within walking distance
Manager Matthew was super nice and recommended fisherman grotto for dinner"
"It was a great location for food and shopping, just not for sleeping (at least my room) I love the old hotel however my room was literally on the street side so I was kept awake by people on the sidewalk and awoken at 6am by the garbage truck that stopped in front."
"This was our first time visiting the hotel and we would definitely go back!
The place is immaculate everywhere. The staff was wonderful and friendly.
We love that it is small and quaint, great location.
The only 2 downsides were that 1.The parking wasn't great. It wasn't easy to find a spot at times, and 2. The shower water pressure wasn't good, but I believe that may
be a problem everywhere in Carmel.
Overall, I highly recommend!"
"Dark hotel lobby and small rooms. Coffee service stops at 7:30 am , which is ridiculous. TV not functional. No elevator so you have to lug luggage up to your room. Will never stay here again."
