If you are expecting a typical Hyatt stay then Highlands deserves a one or a two. If you are expecting an historic hotel stay then Highlands deserves a four or five. It depends. Highlands was first opened in 1917 and many of the buildings are original. The location is strikingly beautiful with architecture to fit. You do however have to... More

I used points for my stay. I don't believe the room I got is worth a Category 6 rating. I got a very basic, small room. My view had partial ocean view. What I mainly saw was the roof of a building and got all their smoke from a fireplace that I wish I had. Had I gotten a better... More

I took my girlfriend to the Hyatt Carmel Highlands for her birthday and since it was just the girls, we wanted a two bedroom configuration. We checked in to a nice room with a downstairs master bedroom and an upstairs pull out couch/bed. The room was mostly wood and a bit dark with very little artwork on the walls. But... More

For $99/night this is a wonderful deal and a great opportunity to stay at the property at an inexpensive rate. Our room had full oceanviews but what I did... More

Bi level townhouse suite. No point in staying unless you can streatch to an ocean view anything. The hotel is its own worst enemy. We... More

Beautiful grounds, friendly service, extemely clean roomsabd gorgous views ! We had a horizon view, which means we could see the water ans some of Point Lobos. Yes, it is pricey, but so well worth it!

The hotel has very large rooms. Try the 501 (double floors), you wont be disappointed. The view is absolutely gorgeous. Cant go wrong

The location, friendly staff, beautiful grounds, and large rooms more than compensate for the high room rate. The experience is more than worth the charges.

Beautiful location above highway 1 overlooking the coast. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The location is 5 star, the hotel itself is 4 star. Our room was spotless and had everything we needed except spare electrical outlets. I will say the room, although spotless, was a little tired but not enought to take away from the feel of... More
