Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We like the Carmel Mission Inn because it is ideally located. It also has on site overnight parking."

Cypress Inn

8/10 Good

"The Inn is one of our favorite places in Carmel. Usually we have one of the better rooms but they were gone this time. The basic king bed room was small and the bathroom very small and poorly conceived with few surfaces on which to place things. A better room is a must for next time. Breakfast great and included. Parking very limited and must be reserved morning at 8 am day of arrival. $40!!"

Carmel Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Cleaning staff was super nice. Front desk was very helpful."

Le Petit Pali at 8th Ave

10/10 Excellent

"Delightful boutique hotel in down Carmel. Happy hour with a glass of rose in their gorgeous patio, cozy room with fireplace, and the highlight is the included champagne breakfast with the lovely European style food. The only annoyance is the lack of private parking in an area where parking is quite difficult to begin with."

Carmel Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly, property was clean, and in walking distance to the beach."

Magnolia - Carmel House - A Carmel Classic

10/10 Excellent
