Large clean room. Large balcony with really nice view. Kitchenette was a bonus. As was the heated bathroom floor. Great location to walk anywhere in town.

Great location, good price for Carmel by the sea. Adequate parking. Older hotel but generally clean.
It was a wonderful stay. One of the best we’ve had in Carmel since our first stay in 2013. The room was excellent (we got upgraded to what was effectively a suite) with an amazing view of the ocean. We simply brought dinner back to the room just enjoy the view and the room. It was exactly the relaxing weekend we needed and wanted. I am so glad we stayed at Hofsas. Carrie at the front desk was exceptionally welcoming as well. Helpful staff all around too
I loved the mattress and perfect bed linens. Carrie was wonderful and I especially appreciated how there is parking for guests.

The staff especially Carry were delightful. The room had a great view but was a bit cold feeling. Breakfast buffet would have been a bit better for me if there were protein options like a hard boil egg. January is a great time to get away to Carmel! No fog no people and more time for exploring!
Front desk staff was very nice and accommodating, and the continental breakfast hit the spot. Super cool and chic ambience would definitely come back!

Staff at check-in was very courteous and welcoming. It's a cute looking hotel (unfortunately it is being replaced with a newer, but blah hotel). There is a heated pool and dry sauna available for guests. Room was clean and comfortable.

Very clean room with great housemaid service each night! Good quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap available. Smaller sized breakfast with some good options. Very cute and aesthetic design of the building and architecture. Close to town center where you can walk everywhere downtown and explore! The front desk was so friendly as well!
Dated decor. Location was very convenient to shops and restaurants.
Price was good compared to other hotels.

The rooms are little old but it was clean. The rooms adjacent to the road side are bit noisy as the cars and trucks pass by. Otherwise it was nice place to stay for one night.
Check in was a breeze, we arrived early and they had our room ready. The suite was very large and comfortable. The rooms are a bit dated, but the service and location more than made up for it.
