Carmel Mission Inn

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The only complaint I have is that the HVAC/fan system in the room is a bit outdated. There is not a setting to allow the fan to operate continuously providing air flow; it shuts off when the thermostat temperature is reached. The property is very conveniently located and the restaurant and hotel staff were wonderful!"

10/10 Excellent
"Property was so well appointed and very chic. Complimentary breakfast was so much more than expected. Eggs, breads, salads, fresh smoothies and so much more. Everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean. Beds were comfortable. Loved drinking a glass of wine snuggled in a blanket by the outdoor fire pits. Definitely will be staying at the Stilwell again on my next trip to Carmel!"
