Top Carmel Hotel Reviews

Carmel Mission Inn

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed my stay at Carmel Mission Inn. The hotel compares very well with many of the higher-end international hotel brands I’ve stayed at. Our room was spacious, modern, very clean, and comfortable, especially the bedding. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the amenities were excellent. The entire property felt well maintained and thoughtfully designed. I was also pleasantly surprised by the onsite restaurant and bar. It had a lively, welcoming atmosphere and felt like a place you actually wanted to spend time in, rather than just a typical hotel restaurant. Overall, Carmel Mission Inn exceeded my expectations. Comfortable, modern, friendly, and a great alternative to some of the much more expensive hotels in the Carmel area. I would definitely stay here again."
