My stay at Tradewinds Carmel was a blend of comfort and some drawbacks. I enjoyed the cozy room setup and the nearby attractions, but the early morning noise from garbage collection and street traffic was quite disruptive. While the breakfast was decent, I felt it fell short of what I had hoped for given the price.
Rooms

The room was beautifully decorated and cozy, featuring calming earth-toned hues, a gas fireplace, and a balcony with distant ocean views. However, the bathroom could use more light, and I found the shower a bit cramped.

The location was perfect for walking to town and the beach, although the return trip involved a steep uphill walk. This is something to consider if mobility is a concern.

I had a mixed experience at Tradewinds Carmel. The location was great for exploring Carmel, and I loved the cozy fireplace in my room. However, I found the breakfast options lacking and the noise from garbage collection quite disruptive in the early mornings. Overall, while the hotel has its charm, I felt it was overpriced for what I received.

The hotel is set on a quiet street just a couple blocks from central Carmel, making it a great base for walking around. However, the steep walk back can be a bit challenging.

Breakfast was delivered to my room, which was a nice perk, but the food itself was fairly basic and unappetizing. I'd hoped for more variety and quality given the price.
