Top Carmel Mission Basilica Hotel Reviews

Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage was very unique and had everything we could want. Breakfast closed early,but the front desk took care of us,getting us food and heating it for us."

Carmel Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Very good choice for families visiting Carmel."

Tranquil Tuckaway w/ Ocean/Pt Lobos views,1200sqft patio, firepit, pet friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding room! Property is very well kept and centrally located to all activities in Carmel and very close to Pebble Beach, Monterey, and Pacific Grove!"

Cypress Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean. The breakfast was very hearty. Extremely pet friendly. Parking is challenging in Carmel and the Hotel struggles with that. No gym and that’s disappointing. But overall, the places well located, and we will certainly return and recommend."

Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable clean rooms . Beds were very cozy! Excellent breakfast!"

Sycamore Place - Carmel House - Beach, Shops, Restaurants, Big Sur (plus pool table and hot tub!)

8/10 Good

"This is an ideal stay for families and multiple guests. Lots of privacy, great patio and pool table, comfortable beds, well-stocked and clean kitchen, quiet and conveniently located. I didn’t enjoy the check-in procedure. The code was wrong and it was not easy getting a new one. One elderly guest had to wait in discomfort for us to get into the house. Rather unprofessional."

3867 Dolce Tempo~ Quiet Area, Walk to Town & Beach

8/10 Good

"Great location and house. AC did not work. Master bedroom did not have shades that covered the windows for privacy."

3897 Driftwood - Walk to Beach & Mission, Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"What an incredible stay in Carmel. Our accommodations were so cozy, the beds were comfortable and the travel crib was perfect for our 6 month old. We particularly LOVED being able to walk through the neighborhood to the beach ( pro tip: go to Carmel River State Beach and walk north along scenic road around sunset for great views) and ending our days in the hot tub in the yard. We will definitely be back!"

3892 Carmel Pearl - Remodeled, A Perfect Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about Carmel Pearl! Sanctuary Vacation Rentals does a great job making check in and check out easy. Everything was well stocked from towels, to box fans, to blankets, even little flashlights. The kitchen and laundry facilities were also very generously stocked for a lengthy stay (laundry detergent, dishwasher tabs, trash bags, cleaning supplies). All you need is right nearby - grocery store, shops, Carmel by the Sea, restaurants, beaches- everything is within 1-2 miles. The location is very safe and quiet. The complimentary cheese, crackers, and wine were a nice touch! What was really elevated was the furniture! Usually rental homes have uncomfortable couches and chairs that are worn down, but this home had the most comfortable, high quality plush chairs and couches! We appreciated the no pets allowed due to allergies. We would absolutely stay here again if our travels bring us to Carmel. Definitely visit Point Lobos, 17 mile drive, and Carmel Meadows Trail for beautiful coastal views. And be sure to try Dametra for dinner and From Scratch for breakfast. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!"
