Everything has been redone so very clean, even the hallways. I was happy with the bathroom except the silly sliding door which does not close all the way and there is no fan! Otherwise, the bathroom was clean and the room was cheerfully decorated. There was a lovely sitting area outside with a fire pit and fountain and lots of... More

Someone with vision and creativity took this sleeper of a property and made it into a VERY comfortable place. The staff made our 5 night stay most enjoyable.

This was our second stay at the Carmel Mission Inn. We were as pleased this time as we were the first time. We had a room overlooking the pool which was very nice. The pool is a nice added bonus to this property as there are not a lot of hotels in Carmel with pools. The restaurant was good as... More

We go to the Carmel Mission in several times a year. It offers great value for the price, nice heated pool and we think a great location especially if you have kids and don't want to be caught up in the fancy smancy part of Carmel. The Carmel River Beach has beautiful sunsets. There are plenty of food choices to... More

No breakfast or complimentary drinks included. We were told we would have to pay for breakfast. The staff were very helpful with directions and advising what to see around Carmel and Monteray. The location is ok, but not the best side of Carmel. Room was clean and everything worked. There is a shopping mall with a few restaurants located next... More

We have just completed two weeks of travelling around California with the final leg of the journey travelling south down the pacific coast. The Carmel Mission Inn was the best hotel we had the pleasure of staying at. It was very comfortable and beautifully appointed. I would definitely stay there again if we ever have the opportunity.

This a beautifully maintained hotel. It has been recently renovated and the decor is of a contemporary/modern style. From the bedding to the shears, everything is beautiful. The location is also perfect. When visiting Carmel, this hotel is a must!
