"You’ve made it to the end of this guide, so you’ve definitely realized that Carmel is an expensive place to visit, but this cheerful pink hotel is a steal for the area. Rooms are in the $200-400 a night range, which is especially good value given there’s an on-site heated pool, a dry sauna, an ocean view from the top-floor patio, and a daily breakfast with pastries from a local bakery." - allison green
