Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa
Restaurant is delicious but expensive, rooms are a little dated, but clean and nice, beds are comfortable. They charge for parking, EV chargers are not complimentary, and parking is a disaster.

Carmel Mission Inn
From the moment we drove up, we loved the style of the hotel, the location and the amenities it has to offer. Staff were very helpful, rooms clean and updated. Loved that the hotel was dog friendly, yet didn't see dogs all over if that's a turn off. Located near a really cute center called the Barnyard ...

We did not use the pool. Room was clean. There was no air conditioning so the room was a little warm.
