“The Stilwell Hotel strikes me as a particularly charming stay, less than a kilometer from Carmel Beach, and a short walk to downtown. I imagine returning from the beach to find the excellent service that other guests have noted, perhaps even enjoying the unique wood-fired pizza offered in the evenings. Its blend of a secluded feel with convenient access makes it a standout.”
