Stilwell Hotel

Stilwell Hotel

8/10 Good
"New hotel, clean , safe, quiet, family and dog friendly, for these reasons I would recommend staying here. We ordered some of their pizzas from their limited menu and they were delicious and did not disappoint, would highly recommend trying them out. They have beautiful courtyard areas to lounge and hang out. Our only complaint is the check in time, while they do clearly indicate check in is at 4pm, I've never stayed at a hotel that is so strict and precise about the check-in time; we couldn't check in a minute earlier. We arrived around 12 and hoped our room would be ready by 2 pm, it was not. A 4pm check in time is also not average in comparison to the regular 3pm standard time. Check out is strictly at 11am so if you're only staying for 1 night (like us) you get minimal time at the hotel grounds. Lastly while breakfast was complimentary, it was not specified that it was from 8am-10am only (also a very short window) we arrived at 9:45 and they were cleaning up already and wouldn't allow us to get food. This was very disappointing and not very hospitable. Just a few FYIs to keep in mind."

What's the difference between 5-star and 4-star hotels in Carmel?
If you decide to vacation at a 4-star hotel in Carmel, you'll typically find plenty of conveniences to make sure you're comfortable, such as a pool, gym and restaurant. You can enjoy excellent service and upscale surroundings. Go for a 5-star hotel and you'll get a few more bells and whistles — think around-the-clock concierge, on-site spas and opulent turndown services. You'll most likely get more amenities and first-rate services at a 5-star retreat, but both are superb options for luxury travellers.
