Carmel Mission Inn

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Very friendly staff and beautiful property. Only thing lacking was decent in room coffee and creamer choices, we were thinking that was so we would come down and purchase it in their restaurant. One bit of advice I would give is to request a room away from the pool; our room faced it and it was a rowdy crowd right up until closing time; so loud we couldn't properly enjoy our movie. Still a great stay and if we are ever able to come back we would stay there again. "
