Carmel Mission Inn

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Was given a third floor jr suite with huge patio. It was an end unit which is a preferred location for quiet and privacy. Did not like the $30 a night to use the parking lot (?) figured it would be a given since I am staying there. All in all I would go and stay again."

"Parking was a little tight, but we were happy to find a spot right by our room. The room was very clean and had a sufficient number of outlets for electronics. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well. Our only concerns were: thin walls, small towels, and not enough of them, and low water pressure."
