My husband and I drove the Central Coast and wanted to stay in Carmel-by-the-Sea over Monterey. We were correct, Carmel is an adorable and romantic little village and Monterey is somewhat of a concrete jungle by the ocean (unless you're staying at Pebble Beach). Anyways, we read the reviews and I was a little skeptical but booked nonetheless. The walls... more

On our recent trip up to northern California we decided to add an extra night in the quiet city of Carmel. We did not have a reservation at our usual favorite because we had not planned to stop there on this trip so we disappointed to find it booked. We knew finding a pet friendly place would not be difficult... more

We loved our stay at the Hofsas House. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was spotless and cheerful. We loved that it was walking distance to the shops and the ocean. We stay there atleast once a year. more

We only decided to take a short weekend trip to Carmel. Since we were only staying Saturday night, we didn't expect we would get a whole lot of choices. Hofsas House was available and was very reasonable priced. So, we booked. We were pleasantly surprised and delighted how centrally located Hofsas House and yet it was in a very quiet... more

This visit was our second visit to Hofsas House. We returned because of the affordability, the proximity to the delights of Carmel, and the gracious hospitality of the staff.

Their dog policies are also a bit stringent, with a "no dogs allowed on beds or furniture" as part of the contract. If your dog... more

First the good points. Traveling with 2 teenagers, we booked a family suite w/ fireplace. Separate closet areas and bathrooms, beds very comfortable. Quiet location a couple of blocks from "downtown". Husband loved the dry sauna. Incredible service from all staff, Renee delivered a flashlight and blanket to our room after we told her at checkin that we were heading... more

Received very good rate for two nights at the Hofsas House Hotel. Charming lobby area and helpful desk clerk. Pet friendly hotel, charged $25 per night pet fee. They provided a blanket for the dog, which was a nice touch. The room had a nice view of the trees and ocean. King sized bed was comfortable and the bathroom was... more
