Stilwell Hotel
Great stay at Stilwell Hotel. Great location with its own off street parking. We were able to walk to restaurants and had easy access to CA 1. The breakfasts were amazing! Great selection! The only negative was that the room was a bit small. Will definitely stay there again when we’re in Carmel.
