Charming hotel for a wedding venue. Old historic building with updated room. Had a room on the first floor with big picture window providing lots of natural light. Didn’t mind watching people strolling down the street. Blackout drapes were available for privacy. Wedding was beautiful staff did a nice job and the meal was very delicious

Historic hotel with great location for romance!
One of a kind location. Live jazz music at budd’s the bar was delightful. Garden and the outdoor setup was gorgeous. Included breakfast was quite nice. Hotel is 2 blovks from beach and 7-8 minute walk to downtown. The only issue was that walls are thin and you can hear your neighbours especially upstairs.

My husband and I absolutely adored our stay at the La Playa hotel. We were there for our honeymoon and it was the perfect spot for couples. The ambiance was romantic and aromatic. The staff members were beyond attentive and friendly. This hotel felt like a home away from home that was truly hard to leave. We absolutely loved our stay and will be returning in the future.

Great boutique hotel in carmel - close to ocean and town with lovely grounds and a great inclusive breakfast. Reminds me a little of a Belmond type hotel - not quite as upmarket but not at all bad given the price

Beautiful newly renovated rooms were tiny but so cute! Grounds were absolutely stunning and well maintained. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The champnage breakfast is included and offers a variety of options including made to order omelets and eggs cooked to your liking. They so offer many complimentary snacks and drinks thru the day and evening. My only negative is the weather, so unable to use the pool. Obviously not the hotels fault! Will definitely stay again.
