The property does not have enough parking spaces for all the guests, I was created by a staff member telling me I had to find parking on my own. I don't feel this is acceptable with the price being charged per night. Plus parking is problem overall in Carmel. The hotel needs to arrange to have parking for all guests.

Really lovely hotel. We had a beautiful ocean view framed by the window in our room. The architecture is based on California Mission style, a dash of California history. The staff was kind, courteous and knowledgable. Treat yourself to the good life in charming downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea!

Fantastic place to stay when visiting Carmel. Courtesy transportation in the evenings is great and all staff very polite and attentive. Only minor downside was the size of the room we stayed. Would stay again and choose a larger room!

Literally, one of the most beautiful properties ever not to mention the overwhelming professional staff. Everyone made us feel welcome and right at home couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay to celebrate my husband‘s birthday.

We stayed here for two nights for a little weekend getaway and oh my god it was amazing!! My boyfriend and I loved the wine and sangria we were greeted with when we checked in, we loved the aesthetic and how cute and beautiful our room was. The cookies they had at night were really good as well. There’s so many lounge areas to just grab a book, drink, laptop and relax. The staff were so attentive and really friendly. The breakfast was so good and had so much to choose from. It was anything from the omelette and waffle station to chia seed pudding, avocado or salmon toast, eggs and bacon burritos, and so much more. It was a walk away from the beach and the small shops. The hotel is an experience itself and I can’t wait to come back again.

This was the most magical hotel experience I've ever had. We had an ocean view room and arrived just in time for sunset. Just gorgeous. The design of the room was excellent (the custom bar/wardrobe was beautiful), the staff very helpful, and the complimentary champagne breakfast was out of this world. Best hotel breakfast I've ever seen. We will probably make a stay at La Playa an annual tradition after having such a wonderful experience.
