I’m just back from the Cypress Inn! I really enjoyed visiting there with my dog. I had to laugh about the description of the front desk service, it’s right on. I enjoyed the public spaces, the courtyard and the fireplace in the large lounge. My room was pretty small considering the price, but the location of the hotel was great. Thanks for this round-up!

Hi Alex,
I love La Playa hotel and it’s grandness. We lived in Monterey for two and a half years, while my husband went to the Monterey Institute. While we were poor students at the time, we always longed to come back one day and stay there. We did indeed do it not to long ago. I loved the room, but the restaurant had something to be desired.
I use to work in an art gallery in Carmel as well, called “Handworks.” It is long gone, and every time I go back for a visit, I miss the Carmel that once was.

Oooh I definitely want to try some of these out. Thanks for the list, Alex. I’ve stayed at the La Playa and it’s fabulous – I profiled it on my site as I’m always interested in historic houses/hotels.

I agree with you about the Cypress Inn, you left out that you can hear the kitchen staff from the Lincoln St. Balcony! If you haven’t heard of the Lincoln Green Inn in Carmel, check it out. Absolutely perfect and dog friendly!
