$277 and we get a room right next to an apartment building on one side, facing the parking lot on the other!? I don't think so. Regular hotel room. Won't be staying here again. Gaudiest mirror in the bathroom. "Asian" influenced furniture bought from TJ Maxx. Needs a facelift. No denying the hotel is well-appointed, location wise but it's not... More

Excellent hotel with convenient location, very comfortable bed, romantic fireplace in the room, very friendly and helpful staff! We received very useful recommendations on nearby restaurants, point of interest and best routs. We had a great stay and will return again for sure.

We just stayed in a "Partial View" King with a private balcony, fireplace and jetted tub. It was on the top floor, I think it was room #6. Including tax this room was over $400. The positives: The hotel is in a good location just a few blocks UP hill from the main shopping/restaurant area. The staff was very nice.... More

Thank you for your review and thank you for the 5 stars for cleanliness and location! Room 6 is one of our most popular rooms with its corner upstairs location, high wood ceilings, private balcony, spa tub, fireplace and partial blue water views. The rack rate is $375 on the weekends (you paid $365). Weekday and slower season rates are... More

First, I would start by saying that the staff at the Tradewinds is as friendly as I would expect from anyone in the “hospitality” industry. Everyone from the front desk personnel to the young man who showed us to our room helped to kick off a great start to a two-day stay in Carmel. A couple of complimentary chocolate covered... More

Thank you for your detailed kind review. I believe that you stayed in room 29 which is $250 per night and less during the slower season and weeknights. It is a nice room but can have some noise next to the breakfast room. Many guests love this room because it is really convenient. For the best rates, it is always... More

I booked a last minute 2 night stay for our 37th wedding anniversary late one Sunday night. After checking availability I called the Tradewinds and spoke with Pamela. I asked if any available rooms had an ocean view and she explained that due to their location I would have a horizon view of the ocean. I wouldn't hear the waves... More

Hello and thank you for your nice comments. The upstairs rooms in the Queen building are $50 more per night. You reserved a Garden level room which may have a guest above you. To accommodate you, we actually were offering a discount on our view rooms. I am glad that you enjoyed the breakfast and the location. More

The hotel is an old motor inn thoughtfully restored with a Bali feel to it. The bathroom was updated and the bedding and furnishings are very well done. We purchased an "Ocean King" via Expedia-AARP for a mid week stay for 2 nights in April, presumably not their busiest time of year. Although the room was impressive in it's decor,... More

Thank you for your review. The world of on-line travel agents like Expedia is very complicated. Sometimes we see room descriptions on Expedia, Orbitz and others that we don't even have. Orbitz once printed that we had a queen/queen room with a fireplace which we don't! We do provide information to on-line travel agents but they don't always get it... More

Loved staying here. Gorgous rooms, lovely golden tones and water features. Very nice location, great restaurants nearby. SO Romantic . I liked being in a neighborhood seting away from hustle & bustle.. This is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. Doesn't get better.
